Hah, that's a blast from the past. One reason it lasted as long as it did was the Knights of the Button, users who collaborated to keep it alive. I implemented the Zombie-presser, 1k+ donated accounts automatically pressing the button when no one else would. We kept it alive for a more then a month before the most embarrassing bug of my career finally killed it :D Good summary here [1].
Fun times! Thank you for the reminder :D

The theory was that it was actually recording the quantum froth as it were, of the unresolved probabilities until an observer woke up and it collapsed into one outcome.
I'm perhaps not explaining it well. OTOH, it is called science-FICTION.

I think that would also have the effect of being able to easily curl it. Could just add a lil nixos module and quietly deploy it to a few servers. Gotta keep the sky up, of course.
Apparently the sky has fallen.
