@chris@mastodon.chrispelli.fun Unlikely. If there is next DNS address record, it is extremely likely going to be using a power of two (so at least "AAAAAAAA")... Originally "A" (address) DNS record is for IPv4 (which has 32 bits), and since IPv6 has 128 bits (i.e. 4 times as many bits as original one) its address record was named with 4 times as many A letters (i.e. "AAAA"). Yes, that's how we computer geeks have fun naming things! #IPv6 #DNS @cuu508@toot.lv @kevin@mastodon.km6g.us
