I know your ipv4 address, 127.0.0.1. :)

There’s something to be said for human readable addresses. I’m a little nostalgic of how the .hack world was envisioned, where servers had address names like Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.

If roughly 10 million words exist, then allowing any three words in order creates a space for 10^21 addresses… five words and you’re close to ipv6 address space, six words and there’s more combinations than ipv6 addresses.

I don't remember my ipv4 addresses either, but I recognize them as mine when I see them.

I've never recognized an IPv6 address or prefix used in my networks.
