Related: the name for your Tailnet is randomly-generated from a list of 'tails', and a list of 'scales' in the format `<a tail>-<a scale>.ts.net`.
Many puns and easter-eggs in both! Recommend giving it a quick glance, some are pretty fun. Some examples include 'fable' as a 'tail' (IE 'tale'), and 'universe' as a 'scale'.
Words can be present in both lists when the entity is applicable to both a tail and a scale, so a tailnet named `koi-koi.ts.net` is theoretically possible too.
Found out about it after I randomly lucked into rolling 'miku' as my 'tail' when first creating my account :)

This makes me think about something. Why don't we support this as a standard?
It would be nice if local ipv6 spelled out "local"
imagine this: local::homelab in your url-bar just working
We want IPs to be distinctive from domains, having real words in both would be highly confusing
Maybe because IPv6 digits are hexadecimal? and we also have DNS service for that.
I don't have to imagine, in fact its even easier. I can just go to http://brother in by browser and it goes to my brother printer. Incredible!
Is there a technical reason it starts at index 2 instead of 0?
The `fd` part indicates it's a ULA, a local private ip address. (like 192.168.0.x)
Sound it out with your mouth: "What DNS do you use?"
"One hundred one hundred one hundred one hundred"
or
"one hundred, 4 times"
vs.
"f d seven a colon one one five c colon a one e zero colon colon five three"
This is just a rant but IPv6 will never be widely adopted.
Almost half of traffic to Google is ipv6: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
