TIL. I knew about the SRV reconds—which almost nobody uses I think?—but this was news to me.
I guess it's also actually supported, unlike SRV that are more like supported only by some applications? Matrix migrated from SRV to .well-known files for providing the data. (Or I maybe it supports both.)
- bravetraveler 1y agoYou'd be surprised at how many games use SRV records. Children struggle with names; let alone ports and modifier keys. At least... this was before multiplayer discovery was commandeered. Matchmaking and so on largely put an end to opportunities.

- Arathorn 1y agoMatrix supports both; when you're trying to get Matrix deployed on someone's domain it's a crapshoot on whether they have permission to write to .well-known on the webroot (and if they do, the chances of it getting vaped by a CMS update are high)... or whether they have permission to set DNS records.
