Purpose

Irrigation[2]

gollark: Probably, but as it's *very* georedundant the latency would be high (and that would take effort to set up).
gollark: Isn't it quite costly?
gollark: It isn't, the VPS just wouldn't fit the nonstatic bits.
gollark: I was planning to achieve useful* georedundancy on my thing by having my VPS update records to point to it in case of outage and having a partial site replica there, but then I realised it would be quite complex for little gain.
gollark: If nobody actually supports it it isn't very relevant that it's been standardized.
