alt Hacker NewsI see this point a lot but it never really made sense to me. What exactly does IPv6 bring to the table that makes it unnecessary to remember IP addresses? Especially for anything more advanced than just looking up a hostname.

IPv6 addresses can be plenty memorable. Mine starts with 2a10:3781:xxxx, and the rest of the address is whatever I want it to be. About as recognizable as my IPv4 address.
If I wanted to memorize the addresses for some reason (maybe I broke DNS or something?), I'd just start numbering devices at 1 and keep going up.
