I wish my future child would send remote log for easy management.

Child1? You start numbering at 1? You monster!

You keep child0 unassigned in case the girl you met at the club three years ago starts looking for you

Better not ask what happened to child0

I let my children pick their own 96-bit number and just hope there's no collisions.

I just name my children using GUIDs. To keep things simple I normally call them by the first 32 bits, but when they're getting into trouble I use all 128.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Well their full names are 128-bit. I just use the last 32 bits to store timestamps, demographic info and checksum bits.
