Super fun article. I also like to see a "real" implementation of crazy ideas like this.
Can anyone confirm if the Microsoft DNS servers default to caching an unlimited amount of data? The article claims "Unlimited??" as the default for these systems. Eyeballing the pie chart looks like 20% of the servers are running Microsoft, which could provide quite a lot of storage.
- voidlogic 9y agoEven unlimited is bound by memory/storage with probably an LRU eviction scheme. So unless your stored data is hot, or their storage is very large, it might not stay around long.
- AdamJacobMuller 9y agoneed a background worker that periodically reads all data to keep things in cache (like a raid or SSD background check).

- otakucode 9y agoPlease don't. There's a perfectly lovely naturally emerged digital life form living in the spaces in between on the Internet, and this would threaten their habitat. Sure they haven't figured out we exist yet, and are certainly a long way from being able to communicate with us, but they seem kind to one another and I'd hate to see their evolution displaced.
