It was very rare that you got Plain in the Overhead. It was instructions to towers, reports, messages about messages, even chatter between operators, although this was strictly forbidden these days. A lot of what travelled on the Grand Trunk was called the Overhead. Some, as you operated your levers to follow the distant signal, made things happen in your own tower. I feel compelled to quote here for prosperity:. Re-reading the very passage that this idea comes from, it's clear how much Pratchett understood about how the internet works, that he created such a good parody in the clacks. It was also the only of a Discworld book that was well adapted into a TV movie, the actor Sky cast as Moist Von Lipwig was perfect. As I write, I have Going Postal in my hands, it was (one of) the book(s) where he experimented with chapters while clearly not taking it seriously. And we've (I've!) been crowing about this for a bit longer than 5 years now! on such a site but, really, it's not like a 5-year-plan kind of thing so much as a couple-of-weeks to start a Beta and the year following to check it isn't going to fall over and you have hardware to cope with the strain. I realise you may have cloud, failover, load-balance, etc.
While there, a cert from a CA plugged into the Apache config would at least enable it, and securing, say, just the login form would be a welcome addition. From there, it's just a case of asking us to trial it so we can break it while you fuddle around with scripts and logs and all those nasty hard-coded things. From there, you have a beta copy of the site from the same Apache servers. From there, it's just a case of opening up port 80 and 443 on IPv6 IP's. I mean, really, IPv6 Day proved that you won't break anything just by enabling or pushing an AAAA record. Don't want to crow about this (well, actually I do, but saying that excuses the following) but it's not that huge a deal to roll out a Beta site that does this.
