Is moving to IPv6 worth it?
Is moving to IPv6 worth it?
The question above for the most part, been reading up on it. Also want to it for learning purposes.

I’m lazy and don’t want to remember more than three digits in an IP address or secure all my devices like they’re publicly routable so I’m sticking with IPv4
Same, so I use DNS and a firewall.
DNS
You mean like
~/.ssh/config?
Setup mDNS and you don't have to remember IP addresses anymore.
ssh orangeboats@orangeboats-router.localis thousand times better to memorise.You could assign short addresses like fd00::1
The number of short IPv6 addresses is smaller than the number of IPv4 addresses, so that's defeating the entire purpose of IPv6. Sooner or later you have to start using the long addresses.
At home? No! Or use fd00::1:1 or fd00::1:1:1
