Ah right... because my IP is dynamic, I will need a way to dynamically update my DNS servers with that IP at regular intervals.

Just not sure what the best approach for this is, nothing really stands out to me that is self-hostable.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot, RFC 2136 is a thing. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

Well, I think I have laid out almost everything I want to set up in BIND. Still trying to figure out a few things:

1) Use a separate zone (or zones) subdomains that gets dynamically updated. I also want to CNAME my root domain to one of them (assuming I can? Basically I'm trying to use a dynamic IP for my root domain without letting BIND reformat my whole zone file).

2) Set up my secondary server with zone transfer over TLS. I worked on this earlier, but I ran into difficulty in getting the certificate. I'm not even sure what domain to fetch the cert for. Does it even need to be issued by a CA? There's so little documentation on XoT in BIND, let alone examples.

Okay, so I can't CNAME the root of my domain like I wanted to, and I don't think I'll be able to get around handing control of the whole zone file over to BIND. The point of my struggle was to separate out the dynamic update (and BIND's gross auto-formatting) from the "static" stuff that I don't want changing automatically.

I've settled on having a "static" file that I make updates to, manually push over to the path BIND uses, and forcing it to re-sync. I may script something smarter later, but this satisifies my OCD for now.

Gonna go run (NOW FAO, NOT LATER) and work on setting up the secondary later. Also on the list: XoT and DNSSEC.

@ariadne A lot of the lefty podcasts I listen to are already moaning and griping and resigning themselves to Biden losing the general, simply because he's not popular and his poll numbers are down. But I have no idea how they think Trump will ever win again with Covid and 1/6 on his record; he's not the unknown that he was to most people in 2016.

Not trying to be complacent here, but I think Trump running in the general will motivate enough people to vote against him (again) that Biden will likely win.

@volpeon I'm confused because it doesn't say "Written in Rust 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀"

@Houl Hey kid! I'm a computer! Stop all the downloading!

Help computer.

@Vordus A lot of people in the original thread are praising WSL, not realizing the irony.

Scoot over foxes, it's Wolvember now!

You wouldn't download a fish.

@Azure The sad reality is that many of the "protect the kids" people are completely disinterested in actually protecting kids.

@totalclaireity Funny how this continues to be relevant.

@puniko My void server doesn't support reaction emojis so I'll put it here. :dragnpats:

As a neurodivergent person who programs best when my environment is free of distractions, I can appreciate why wizards lived in tall towers with no entrances.
