…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.

You could just serve up a text file over HTTP.

I could, but I'd rather not enable HTTP on devices that don't need it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm keenly aware there's easier ways to accomplish such a goal, but that's not the point. I have discovered something new and, as a way of practicing multiple other skills at the same time, am musing over homelab projects I could do to put it into practice and cement that knowledge.
It's just like my internal-only emoji DNS resolver: goofy, amusing, and ultimately impractical outside of the homelab, but still a great way to learn several new things together.

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

The post mentions 743 LOC records in the entire database; I'd be very curious to hear what that number's at now?

I will ask someone to find out and report back.

Any chance of convincing someone to do a stat dump on all record types?

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