There was a cool project that converted hexadecimal numbers (or IPs) to pronouceable words. I think it was also more dense, and of course faster to say / easier to remember.
Some kind of Name System?
Perhaps organised into some sort of domains for clarity?
Reminds me of three word location.
That's cool, but I'm sure it broke the relationship between ip addresses. Like it would be hard to tell if 1 IP was 1 higher or lower than another/ in the same /28 subnet, etc
maybe they could be sorted alphabetically to give you an idea, but yeah, it'd be harder to know for sure without a mixed format like
worda:wordb::f1
there's no place like Nyamyochu Sha
