#dns

Comics from dnsimple explaining how DNS works. As they say “road trips will never be the same”.

You can register your own “TLD” and make subdomains out of it. There’s a DNS server that you can use to resolve these domains.

Inspired by @jlelse’s post on DNSControl, I moved my few DNS configurations to use that auto-deployable system and I must say I am amazed. I’ve known a few other systems for such kind of automation like Ansible, but never used them. In the meanwhile, I also started using GNU’s stow to manage my dotfiles. It’s much better than my previous system where I had a script that just copied the dotfiles over. This way they’re symlinked so the changes will be reflected with ease. I’m happy with it.
