Another gem from back when the internet was fun: HTTP Status 418: I'm a teapot - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/418 Wasn't there also a protocol for checking vending machines for cold drinks?

Considering we actually have internet connected teapots now, I wonder if any mass market products have implemented this.

It's always been my dream to build one. Now that we have things like Raspberry Pi zero W, I want to hack up my Kuerig and make that internet connected

I think more interesting than this RFC is the United States Army Pigeon Service. During WWII the force consisted of 54,000 pigeons. Over 90% of US Army messages sent by pigeons were received. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Pigeon_Serv...

They must've implemented RFC 2549: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2549

or IP over TCP (two carrier pigeons)

Here, an up-vote for you good Sir.

Please don't do this here.

I found HN during Lent this year. I’m not religious, but had been toying with the idea of leaving R quite for some time. Your 5 words express my exact sentiment, and exactly why I find HN so refreshing.

I seem to remember that the old saying comes from Tanenbaum's "Operating Systems Design and Implementation". Or not?

Ha ! I own that book, that is where it wormed into my brain from :) Thank you!

What with the NSA and colleagues ramming their noses into everything, this protocol has a future.

> In 2019, Cellular Tracking Technologies of Rio Grande, NJ demonstrated VultureNet, a component of the Internet of Wildlife. VultureNet is a system that uses very small tags ... on small birds and animals, and these are detected by receivers in devices on larger animals and birds ... data was transmitted from the device on the vulture to the Internet using the cellular network.

A store and forward network could be implemented on that.
