I love this. DNS is something that, if you're online and visiting websites or even sshing into boxes a lot of the time, you're using, unless of course you carry around a list of IP addresses like the olden times. It is one of the many things that underpin the modern web and we take it for granted.

I love all the series about writing your own X in 100 lines of code. It gives you the understanding of technology and removes a lot of unnecessary details.

The great examples of this are 'A from-scratch tour of Bitcoin in Python' https://karpathy.github.io/2021/06/21/blockchain/ and 'Let's build GPT: from scratch, in code, spelled out' https://youtu.be/kCc8FmEb1nY from Andrej Karpathy

I wonder if anybody tried to collect all such projects together and built his own 'Internet in just 100 lines of code'

Julia's zines[0] are great. Got mine this week and it's a delight to read. 0 - https://wizardzines.com

On Firefox mobile, I get some element overflow blocking the speech bubble. Maybe a flex wrap gone wrong? Just a heads up incase Julia is reading :)

thanks, I'll take a look

agreed, have several printed ones and love the combination of whimsy and concise technical content.

The style fits pretty well with GitHub.com/charmbracelet

I host a pi-hole instance in the cloud. It's only accessible to my Tailscale network, which means that I can't reach it on my TV - unless I write a DNS proxy. Maybe this'll be enough to get my ass in gear and actually write it for once.

What about a Pi that connects to Tailscale and have your TV work via that? https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/

That would mean getting a Pi, which I don't have...

Maybe not only 100 lines of code though, I think of Code Crafters. https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x

Me too, they're a really good resource.

What are some other ones you've come across?
