And yet somehow even after the magical running out of them and everything is going to be on fire ipv4 is still working just fine. Nothing is wrong with NAT not every single device needs its own unique address.
Don’t get me wrong I would be fine with expanding it but they did it in the dumbest possible way imaginable. It’s not human readable , it’s a pain in the ass to work with. I just have to look everything up anytime I need to manage it, and I am sure as f*** never going to be able to memorize an address.
They should have just like doubled ipv4 so 192.168.1.1.1.1.1.1 at least that would have made sense

IP addresses aren’t meant to be consumed by humans, that’s what DNS is for. That being said, nothing stops you from converting IPv6 addresses to that format. Two “digits” in an IPv6 address correspond to one block in IPv4.
Also what people don’t understand is that the huge address space is not meant to to be exhausted. It provides “layers” with significant reserves to make routing easier and flexible.
