What the fuck is an “a::s”

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 103 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

A shorthand for 000a:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:000s. It's part of the alphabet v6 spec.

I love that this is an accurate expansion of a::s if s was in hex

It's in base 36.

Member field s of the lowercase class a.

in the standard galactic alphabet (a.k.a minecraft enchantment table language) "::" is the letter "r" so you could say this says "ars", which kind of makes it come full circle. all puns intended.
