192.169.x.x will always be easier than fe80:x:x::x:x

I definitely agree with automatically configured stuff, but I enjoy setting link-local static IP address with IPv6, like my home server is fe80::bad:c0de or 192.168.0.2, and my NAS is fe80::coo1:da1a or 192.168.0.3. I've definitely mistyped the IPv4 a few times (see your 169 typo), but the IPv6 always delivers hackerman vibes.

I have also set <prefix>::bad:c0de and have my IPv6 prefix on a keybind, but I understand that's a bit of a stretch.

I have never thought of writing things with static ipv6.

I have been missing out.
