The 'best current practice' category of {{< abbr rfcs "request for comments" >}}
beats any blog post you can read for a topic. For example, I recently got tired
of my domain host's {{< abbr dns "domain name system" >}} flakiness and did my
own thing.

I couldn't fully remember how {{< abbr soa "start of authority" >}} serial
numbers worked for secondaries and
[rfc `2182`](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2182#section-7) showed me the
money real fast. The alternative is sludging through multiple
{{< abbr serps "search engine result pages" >}} of ad spam.
