    I’m lazy and don’t want to remember more than three digits in an IP address or secure all my devices like they’re publicly routable so I’m sticking with IPv4

      Same, so I use DNS and a firewall.

      Setup mDNS and you don’t have to remember IP addresses anymore.

      ssh orangeboats@orangeboats-router.local is thousand times better to memorise.

        The number of short IPv6 addresses is smaller than the number of IPv4 addresses, so that’s defeating the entire purpose of IPv6. Sooner or later you have to start using the long addresses.
