    There was a cool project that converted hexadecimal numbers (or IPs) to pronouceable words. I think it was also more dense, and of course faster to say / easier to remember.

      Just make your IP addresses pronouncable words like feed:deaf:babe:beef:cafe:: problem solved ez (working 2023!)

        But you’re limited to a-f. I wonder if anyone’s figured out how many addresses are actually possible with that system.

          I think that’s just 6^32, no? (Amount of options^string length). Which is 7958661109E24.

        Perhaps organised into some sort of domains for clarity?

      That’s cool, but I’m sure it broke the relationship between ip addresses. Like it would be hard to tell if 1 IP was 1 higher or lower than another/ in the same /28 subnet, etc

        maybe they could be sorted alphabetically to give you an idea, but yeah, it’d be harder to know for sure without a mixed format like

        worda:wordb::f1
