Respect. But also ... WHY????

Now let's do

(1) A DNS file drop: Split small files into TXT records and rebuild them client-side. Useless for big files, perfect for config blobs, tiny payloads, and cursed demos. Also someone can write an S3-compatible client.

(2) Redis DNS:

- GET foo.cache.example.com -> TXT record returns value chunks

- TTL is the eviction policy

- Cache invalidation becomes even more of a hate crime.
