I hate IPv6 so fucking much.

I had to write an address validator and sanitizer once. Never again what the fuck were they thinking with the short forms?

I do like having a lot more addresses, that’s great. The short forms, embedded ipv4, bridges, etc are confusing as hell. Oh, also, you have to add that all to your email validator script, enjoy!

There are short forms in ipv4 as well, also yo& don’t actually need it. 😝
true, sometimes I use 127.1 instead of 127.0.0.1 and I have some coworkers that don’t know the 0 is optional and are wtf.
Is this for real
It is real. The missing spots are filled with zeros so it works out the same.
