To clarify, a good title would be "Loading Doom entirely from DNS records"
Neither one plays Doom over DNS nor is the first paragraph in the README correct, because DNS is only abused for storage, not for computing/processing/executing instructions:
> At some point, a reasonable person asked "DNS resolves names to IP addresses, what else can it do?" The answer, apparently, is run DOOM.
- b112 7mo agoYou make me wonder if it is possible. All you need to do is to programmatically change bits, and you have compute. Some cache monkeying or somethong. Of course, I imagine it would be incredibly slow.

- drob518 7mo agoYup. A better title might be “Author discovers data can be stored in DNS TXT records which were created to store data.”
- deathanatos 7mo agoData can be stored in A records, too, just less efficiently. (Or AAAA, or CNAME, or…)

- uuddlrlrbaba 7mo agoOr how about "pedantic HN users making comments about titles"
- DJBunnies 7mo agoAnd the cycle won't be complete without such a meta "analysis."
- akdev1l 7mo agoAlso we could probably achieve this by using dnsfs and regular doom install https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/dns-filesystem-true-cloud-storage-dnsfs https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/dns-filesystem-true-cloud-st...
- tracker1 7mo agoWell, there are DNS tunneling projects, so I would suspect you could displace the network support in DOOM with a DNS based protocol.
