There is a little known protocol invented in 1985 that even had a port number assigned to it by IANA. It's surprisingly well-supported by lots of systems even today!
It's called "The Domain Name System". I know it sounds alien and weird, but I assure you that you'll find that it greatly eases the burden of having to memorise network addresses!
Maybe your distribution has it included, just download it and give it a go.

Looks a little short. It's more like... 10.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

Are you not using hashes anywhere because they are also hard to memorize?
Gosh I wish IPv4 -> IPv6 was just 10.x.x.x -> 10.x.x.x.x.x
Instead we went to some hex-colon-double-colon BS. Like instead of "ssh 10.0.0.1" I have to now do "ssh -6 :://::2001:db8:ffff:abcd::34ff:2e6f::49af:fdef::"? Fuck that.
The simple fact that I can't memorize IPv6 addresses makes me lazy to use it. Whenever I want to SSH into a machine in 5 seconds flat I just rattle off its IPv4 address and I'm in.
