A - DNS RecordAA - BatteryAAA - BatteryAAAA - DNS Record

@astrid I’m so sorry, A and AAAA are both in current usage.

@astrid to further complicate things AAAA is also a battery

@astrid i promise this isn't loss

@astrid
It can't be DNS.
There's no way it's DNS.
It was the batteries.

@0x09 where is A

@astrid AAAA - Also a battery

9V batteries contain 6 AAAA batteries

@astrid AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - Normal reaction to everyday news
@scream

@daiversity AHHHHHH

@kwayk42 that little factoid about 9V batteries (usually) being nothing more than six AAAA batteries in a trench coat will never not be mind blowing to me.

@astrid

@sysop408 @kwayk42 yea ... not always

@astrid But, both A and AAAA are also battery sizes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

@astrid and battery

@astrid@infosec.exchange doubles as a reaction for encountering issues with both batteries and DNS records

@astrid AAAAA - me when I have to change a battery or update a DNS record

@astrid @sysop408 @kwayk42 uh...oh wow. TIL

@astrid is there any easy way to tell which ones are or aren't without ripping apart a 9V battery?

I actually didn't even know AAAA batteries existed before I learned about this. I found an old 9V and tore into it as soon as I read about it and that one was indeed made from 6 AAAA batteries.
