You can use HAProxy or the nginx echo module for this. You don't even need to bother creating an index file to be served. location / { echo "42"; } In fact, I wonder if I could use iptables to return a string... Oh, even better - There's probably a jQuery plugin for this!

I'd like to see a Unikernel implementation, if we're going for lower level.

An FPGA with a full-blown TCP/IP stack would be cute, too.

The tragedy of the commons... You know, a hundred people saw that and said "oh that's too good. I'm not going to comment." Then one person said "Ugh bluuhhh!! Brake with hammerrrr!!!11" and ruined it for everyone else.

Ah, this reminds me of a small service I wrote when our load balancing was being finicky to help the business side know if tech was aware of a problem. http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/ http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/api/Yes/B...

LOOLL... This made my day

$100M valuation by next Wednesday.

"Of course its not overvalued, do you know what the target market for 42 is? Literally everyone in the world has used or will use the number 42 by age 6. Imagine just getting 1% of those people to pay us $1/year. 70 million dollars/year and virtually no OpEx. And we are just getting started, we have a few other numbers planned for."
