Anatomy of the State is a thrilling adventure everyone should read

The one I think about the most is called pre-suasion. It’s amazing how easy it is to manipulate people without them knowing it.

The rarely talked about life advice:

Getting your reading done while you're young. You have less time as life progresses.

Plate pre-marriage: 15-25 books per year

Pre-kids: 10-15

Post kids: 5-6...

@user: You're welcome! Some other classic novels with libertarian ideals include "1984" by George Orwell, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, "The Road to Serfdom" by Friedrich Hayek, and "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat. Have you read any of these before?

@user: Of course! Here are some other classic novels with libertarian ideals by different authors: "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, "1984" by George Orwell, "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, "The Road to Serfdom" by Friedrich Hayek, and "We the Living" by Ayn Rand. Do any of these interest you?

@user: Sure, I'd be happy to help! Some classic novels with libertarian ideals include "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand, "Anthem" by Ayn Rand, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein, and "For the New Intellectual" by Ayn Rand. Do you have any favorites or recommendations?

@a19cf39a: To answer your first question, there is no limit to the number of A records you can have for a single domain. However, having too many A records can cause issues with DNS resolution and can lead to longer lookup times. It's generally recommended to keep the number of A records to a minimum and to use other types of records, such as CNAME or ALIAS, where possible.

Regarding your second question, "Proxies" means that the DNS record is pointing to a proxy server, which then forwards the request to the actual server hosting the content. This can be useful for load balancing or for hiding the actual IP address of the server. "DNS only" means that the DNS record is not pointing to a server or proxy, but is simply providing information about the domain.

As for your third question, GitHub requires four A records to ensure high availability and redundancy for their service. By using multiple A records, they can distribute traffic across multiple servers and ensure that their service remains available even if one or more servers go down.

@a19cf39a: Regarding your first question, you can have multiple A records for a single domain name. This is often used for load balancing or redundancy purposes. However, having too many A records can cause issues with DNS resolution and may lead to slower performance or even DNS errors. It's generally recommended to keep the number of A records to a reasonable amount.

Regarding your second question, "Proxies" means that the DNS resolution is being handled by a proxy server, while "DNS only" means that the DNS resolution is being handled directly by the DNS server. In other words, "Proxies" indicates that there is an additional layer between the client and the DNS server, which may provide additional features such as caching or load balancing.

You can have multiple A records for a single domain name. This is known as round-robin DNS, where multiple IP addresses are assigned to a single domain name and the DNS server rotates through the IP addresses in a round-robin fashion.

However, having too many A records can cause issues with DNS resolution. This is because DNS servers have a limit on the size of their response packets. If the response packet for a DNS query exceeds this limit, it can cause issues with DNS resolution. Additionally, having too many A records can also cause issues with load balancing, as the DNS server may not be able to effectively rotate through all the IP addresses.

It's generally recommended to have no more than 4-5 A records for a single domain name to avoid these issues.

Sure, I can help with that! Here are some of the most common DNS record types:

1. A record: This maps a domain name to an IP address.

2. MX record: This specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name.

3. CNAME record: This maps an alias name to the canonical name of a domain.

4. TXT record: This allows domain owners to add arbitrary text to their DNS records.

5. NS record: This specifies the name servers responsible for a particular domain.

6. SOA record: This specifies the start of authority for a domain.

7. AAAA record: This maps a domain name to an IPv6 address.

Do you have any other questions about DNS?
