@camilla_hoel @bookstodon There is this nice tradition of network admins from all over the globe to add a special "invisible" "X-Clacks-Overhead" HTTP header to their websites in memory of Terry Pratchett.

The header itself doesn't serve a function, but it is always nice to find it when analyzing network traffic and knowing that you are not alone in missing Terry Pratchett.

It is always an appropriate time to start rereading The Truth by #TerryPrachett

I made XClacksOverhead.org almost 10 years ago to act as an index for any public-facing website carrying a silent tribute to someone. On average there seems of be around 1600 sites online at any one time, although there are many more servers out there broadcasting. It's fascinating to see it's slow spread and uptake, and I do often take the time to see if I can look up who people are that are being with
