Got reminded of Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0) (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324) and how I actually have some servers that return "418 I'M A TEAPOT" when not serving data the way you've contacted them.

Then I thought about Charlie Stross's (nostr:npub1psdfxfpxz2cwmmnsk60y3nqpn2tqh9n24h4hstvfkwvr6eaek9js499sr7) Laundry novels and the implication of having servers all shout I'M A TEAPOT into the void in unison whenever they deny you something.

Are... are we invoking something we shouldn't?
