I've started using DNSControl for configuring DNS for my personal domains and it's been delightful. Declarative DNS! I get comments (the DSL is just JS), history (it's in git) and trivial rollback! I've switched my DNS provider to Hetzner (which is free!) to use this.

I do occasionally find myself wanting to use the phrase "you're absolutely right", especially in technical discussions. I've started avoiding it though. I worry it'd make me sound like I'm just automating my comments.

I've started naming my servers digiocean1.example.com, digiocean2.example.com and so on. I wish I'd done this much earlier. I already have domain names for the actual deployed services, but it quickly gets confusing when you start moving things around.
