alt Hacker NewsTo 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.

Also we could probably achieve this by using dnsfs and regular doom install

You 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.

Yup. A better title might be “Author discovers data can be stored in DNS TXT records which were created to store data.”
