it kinda got to me how wildly popular domi got with that "fedi on ip6.arpa" post
ppl kept sending it to me and reacting like this is some crazy complex task, esp given that the post was worded like it's a sick hack of some kind
so uh, here's the totality of how to do this yourself!
- obtain a routed subnet, buyvm will hand you a /48 when you buy a server there
- delegate dns for that subnet to a provider that does reverse dns like dns.he.net
- add a cname entry to where you want it to go
- that's it youre done, host whatever you want there like you normally would
my website is now reachable on http://1337.8.d.4.c.0.0.4.6.5.0.6.2.ip6.arpa and it took filling out 2 webforms and like a minute of my time
:jadenthumbsup: i'll accept my 1000 boosts now
