    192.169.x.x will always be easier than fe80:x:x::x:x

      I definitely agree with automatically configured stuff, but I enjoy setting link-local static IP address with IPv6, like my home server is fe80::bad:c0de or 192.168.0.2, and my NAS is fe80::coo1:da1a or 192.168.0.3. I’ve definitely mistyped the IPv4 a few times (see your 169 typo), but the IPv6 always delivers hackerman vibes.

      I have also set <prefix>::bad:c0de and have my IPv6 prefix on a keybind, but I understand that’s a bit of a stretch.

      fd00::x is shorter than 192.168.x.x

      Technically you’re supposed to use fdxx:xxxx:xxxx::x, but on your home network nobody cares.
