Gotta admit that it didn't occur to me that "can it run DOOM?" would stretch all the way to DNS.
At this point I am wondering if people will somehow port DOOM over to the MONIAC.

DNS … cannot, and that's why the person upthread is criticizing the use of the word "run" here. DNS ran nothing.

I'd say both are looking increasingly doable.
ICMP packets can be arbitrary length, and there are plenty of tcp-over-icmp tunnels.
There was this article a long time ago about using packets in transit as storage/memory, mischeivously for free.
Turns out this is how early memory worked, i think it was called delay line memory, made of mercury, i think PDP and DEC era
