Re:I spent a week without IPv4 to understand IPv6 transition... by Dalewyn on Monday March 06, 2023 @11:33PM (#35051584)
Tell me Google DNS's IPv6 addresses without looking them up. I won't wait.

Sometimes we need to deal with raw IP addresses instead of abstraction layers, and IPv6 fails hilariously because it clearly goes beyond the realm of direct human consumption.

You saying a non-human readable thing is human readable if it's passed through an abstraction layer to make something human readable only reinforces the argument IPv6 is not human readable.

The way you see legacy IP addresses is also an abstraction layer, their actual form is as a 32bit integer.
