Just give OpenClaw unrestricted access to your system and make the AI do it. /s

it’s because no one want to type in 32 alphanumeric digits for every single device, every time…

Use DNS; I almost never type in an IP manually. You can also make short IPv6 addresses that are just the prefix and a bunch of zeros using '::' followed by one (or more) characters.

Something like:

2001:0DB8::1

I mean I did say I hate ipv6...

But seriously, I think it has more to do with it's slightly different, easier for ISPs to just add another NAT layer or whatever instead of learn the minor differences.

If you are typing 32 chars for a IPv6 address you are doing it wrong

I’m slowly moving in the direction and have learned a lot, but in my home network, all my devices get a bunch of IPs and services seem to choose at random the IP to listen on. My ISP changes my prefix at random. Devices don’t register in DNS. So even if I use the ULA it’s a lot of fucking typing.

I also had this thing for a while where the MAC of a bhyve VM would change at boot so even the ULA changed. That fucked me for a while.

Opnsense lets me create aliases allowing me to create firewall rules, so at least that works now… kinda. But i haven’t figured out privacy extensions.

So yes, you’re right, 32 digits is a lot to keep in mind.
