Show HN: A server that removes a byte with every request
rot.jakebasile.com
I was inspired by a comment[1] here on HN to write a static web server that slowly degrades the content it serves byte by byte as it is requested. Every time someone requests a path from the server, a byte is removed from the next request to that path (barring 404s etc.) It resets every hour.
The nature of the Ritual is that I can't put this behind a cache, so it's possible that the cheap AWS server I used will get hugged to death if it becomes at all popular here. Sorry.
