Went down a wonderful mental rabbit hole with friends today and ended up reading about DNSFS and the even more amazing PingFS! This quote is everything:

“Because you can put up to 1400-ish bytes in this payload, and pings take time to come back, you can use the speed of light in fiber as actual storage.”

DNSFS. Store your files in others DNS resolver caches

With all this talk of everyone suddenly needing to find new #hosting solutions for various things I remembered there’s a free, truly #cloud based option.

“pingfs is a filesystem where the data is stored only in the Internet itself,
as ICMP Echo packets (pings) travelling from you to remote servers and
back again.”
