@april i would like to see the future where this lands XD i feel like it’d have similar problems with adoption as JXL does
the chunking is really neat. you should specify what the safe limit is (IME, around 42KB, but some networks have resolvers which can only go as high as the MTU minus packet overhead, or thereabouts. so tbf it would be cool to have a system to resize the chunks on the fly (so you store it as one metarecord, and it gets chunked on delivery by your DNS server)

@domi i left that up for the resolver esp because normal dns implementations dont care about size overhead and just fall back to tcp if its too big, ig if you serve content over dns you can just eyeball it (or go with max udp frame size) and see based on prometheus or other stats how many requests fall back to tcp
