    I also know that I cannot tell the difference between two IPv6 addresses because they all merge into an indiscernible blur inside my head

      However I can see when any IPv6 begins with 2a02:12xx:: then it’s Swisscom (biggest swiss ISP). But I can’t remember any of their hundreds of IPv4 prefixes.

      I have a feeling making it all CAPS would have made it just a bit easier.
      That, or using monospace fonts for it everywhere.

      I recite IPv6 addresses on my company networks from memory all the time. It helps that we got a bit lucky on our allocation. There are no letters.

      Plus it’s really easy to number subnets in a way that makes sense.
