People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)
… and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

How do you guys remember IPv6 addresses?
You shouldn’t need to remember IP addresses, they invented DNS to solve that problem lol
Even so, the addresses can be even easier to remember because we get a-f as well as digits, my unique local subnet is fd13:dead:beef:1::/60 cause I like burgers haha
Assign a DNS name
Is it possible to do that for router/access point running OpenWRT?
I have to try it when I’ll be back home.
Edit: turns out that all devices connected to router are accessible from
<hostname>.lan. I don’t remember setting it up, tho.Probably, look into dnsmasq? I believe that was the easiest way with openwrt back in the day.
Thanks
Even better, if that’s not something available from outside, to just enable mDNS.
Wow, that’s so cool. Thank you, I’ll implement it in my LAN.
hosts.txt
dns, VPN setups. ETC we live in 2024, there are solutions to this problem.
Since I bought a domain name I do not remember IP addresses. Just like I don’t remember password since I installed password manager or not remember phone numbers since I have a smartphone.
It’s only annoying when being on someone’s else computer without my clipboard sharing setup and need to copy an address by hand. But that’s an issue when setting something up. I would take this inconvenience while setting up than all everyday inconveniences that IPv4 created in last years.
You can shorten them sometimes, the neatest trifk I saw was putting leetspeak words in the address.
CAFE, BABE, BEEF, DEAD, and of course, 1337.
