RFC9460: SVCB and HTTPS DNS Records

In AliasMode, the SVCB record aliases a service to a TargetName. SVCB RRsets SHOULD only have a single RR in AliasMode.

Paper 2025/1237 Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog Peter Gutmann , University of Auckland Stephan Neuhaus , Zurich University of Applied Sciences Abstract This paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation recor
