IPv5.

wait what? I feel like I am left behind in the tech. I only know about ipv4 and ipv6 😭😭😭
Show threadtyler6d ago
They’re making a joke. The numbers in the IP are way too high for v4, but the format isn’t v6, so it’s a “new range” of v8.

Where’s IPv7?
Show threadTeddy Police6d ago
at 192.512.512.10.0/42.
Show threadAtherel6d ago
In the drawer right next to IPv5

I think you mean IPV0x08

I try to avoid “this” style comments, but I genuinely don’t know how else to respond to this one. It was hilarious. I literally (by which I actually mean “literally") laughed out loud.

Hello, I am apparently an idiot. What is wrong with that IP address that people can tell it’s an immediate phishing scam?
Show threadTurious6d ago
IP addresses can’t have segment numbers going over 255.
Show threadEphera6d ago
Yeah, IPv4 addresses use four bytes. Those four bytes are represented as four decimal numbers, separated by dots. And a byte can only represent the decimal values 0–255.
Show threadmergingapples5d ago
Ahhhh. Thank you. Now the Ipv over 4 numbers make sense.

IPv4 was easy to remember. IPv6 made it very hard. This implies that IPv8 has to be base64 encoded.
