@catoutofbed AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@catoutofbed More address bits allow greater dynamic range and higher fidelity DNS screaming.

@catoutofbed The AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA record tells you where your site was before you lost it

@catoutofbed The network is bigger, so you have to shout louder for the farthest machines to hear you :blobtongue:
