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.

One month after configuring my VPS to reboot weekly, and I'm *still* finding services that aren't properly configured to start on boot. I'm developing a newfound appreciation for tools like Chaos Monkey.

There's something pleasingly self-referential about configuring an agent by talking to it. > Remember that [fact about data formats]. Agent: Noted. ... realise nothing happened ... > Write to your rules file that when I say "remember", I want you to write to the rules file.
