gollark: There aren't *better* non-subdomain options.
gollark: So ALIAS records sort of emulate it badly for A/AAAA records instead.
gollark: CNAME tells the system™ to look at another domain to find corresponding records, but due to reasons you are not meant to use it on an "apex domain".
gollark: An AAAA/A record holds the IP to connect to when accessing the domain.
