Hey, I made a thing! It's called doink. Doink gives you dynamic git remotes by using DNS TXT records as pointers.

I wrote a bit about how it works and what it's useful for.

Anyway, do you ever thing about how DNS is a basically a decentralized key-value database? I think about it a lot :)

It's free cache space 😏

This is a really cool post, thanks! I should make a page with links to weird things people do with DNS.
