Oh wow. Did I really write that 11 years ago! How time flies.

…getting a homelab project idea, where I create LOC records for devices without a dynamic IP address so I can figure out where the f*k they are without having to keep a continuous mental map running at all times. Free up some mental bandwidth as it were.

Very, very cool function to have. I wonder how feasible it’d be to dynamically update it using GPS measurements for fleet tracking, given even Cloudflare had to patch in support.

Unfortunately the example included (geekatlas.com) appears to be long gone, so we're not able to enjoy this ourselves.

That's nice and all, but is there anything that consumes LOC records?
