HTML over DNS: Serving Blog Content over DNS

As someone who has an obsession with base64 encoding (as exemplified by my poorly written shell scripting here: https://miscdotgeek.com/curlytp-every-web-server-is-a-dead-d... ) I love this. It makes me wonder if some CSS and maybe even a highly compressed image or two could be added.

If you're obsessed with base64 here is a fun thing for you:

A few years ago I randomly remarked that repeated base64 prefix converge to a fixed point. I tweeted [1] the first characters of that string out of amusement, without any additional details.

Then someone saw the tweet, found it funny, and did a write-up about it [2], and then there was an interesting discussion on Reddit [3]. There may have been one on HN too, I don't remember.

Have fun :).

Nice idea. Probably possible, since each resource has an index record, which contains the mime type.

I'll try it sometime soon (though my CSS skills are basically nonexistent...).
