alt Hacker Newsfd::1 is somewhere in the reserved ::/8 space where various stuff like old ipv4 mapped addresses and localhost reside. What you probably mean is something like fd00::1, but that is something you shouldn't use, because 'fd00::/8' is a probabilistically unique local address (ULA) block. You are supposed to create a /48 net by appending 40 random bits to fd00::/8. Of course, if your fair dice roll lands on all zeroes, and you are ok with probable collisions in case of a network merge, you are fine ;)
In home networks, the idea of merging with someone else's network is... most certainly not worth worrying about. Maybe you marry someone or become roommates with someone who also picked fd00::/8? And you still want two separate subnets? Other than that I don't see a scenario where it matters.
Granted, if you're doing this in a corporate setting (where merging with someone else's address space is a lot more realistic), then yes definitely pick a random 40 bits. But at home? Who cares. Same as using 192.168.1.0/24 instead of a random 10.0.0.0/24 subnet... it's not worth worrying about.
