    I like returning 418 instead of 404 or 403 on the files the script kiddies are hunting for on my web servers. I’m sure it does nothing but I’d like to think I’ve wasted some of their time at least once.

        I’m pretty sure it exists because RFC2324 hyper text coffee pot control protocol

          Fun fact, first webcam was a series of updating stills of an actual coffee pot so some engineers would know if there was coffee made.

            With that, plus image recognition, plus a control system, you could use rfc2324 to implement the digital control side

            Though I think I’d use weight, temperature, and flow sensors for easier service implementation

              True, but most streaming media now is a bunch of stills with the changes for each individual frame between them.

        420 is still avalable. Not sure what you would put there (“Server too high?”) and given the controversy over 418 I think its best to leave that one blank instead of making a weed joke.

          There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use “420 Enhance Your Calm” as a code to indicate you’re being rate limited.
