gollark: Simply query `[DATA].d.osmarks.net`, where `[DATA]` is a base32-encoded bytestring consisting of the byte C0 and then the UTF-8 text of your comment, and it will appear on https://osmarks.net/test/. Note that padding is with 8 instead of = for the base32, and you may need to add .s in the hostname to make it not too long.
gollark: Why? Purposes. Spam? It's ratelimited, but otherwise I guess there'll just be horrible problems or something.
gollark: Exciting news: comments may now be submitted to my website over DNS.

gollark: As planned.
