Yeah I have zero motivation to deal with IPv6.

I also have all my IPv4 addresses memorized, and IPv6 addresses are too long to remember with all the hex-double-colon nonsense.

If they could have turned

1.2.3.4

into

1.2.3.4.5.6

I'd probably use it, but instead they opted for some scary stuff that looks like

d0ff::eefa::0010::faff:::://::92::0

which I'd rather not look at. Product management fail.

Anyhow, IPv4 still works for me, so I have no pressing need to even try to understand these hex-colon monstrosities.

My DNS server is 8.8.8.8.

Why the hell isn't the IPv6 DNS server

8888:8888:::8888:8888?

Instead it's 2001:4680::... wtf?
