I made a little website that lets you read the Clacks Overhead from other websites: https://clacks.jifish.co.uk/
This HTTP header is a way to remember those that have passed by encoding their names in HTTP header data, inspired by the book Going Postal by #terrypratchett
@GossiTheDog I’m sorry for your loss, Kevin ❤️🩹
I’m so sorry for your loss, @thedarktangent ❤️🩹🧸
I’m so sorry for your loss, @Weld ❤️🩹🧸
I’m going to stop boosting the main toot about my dad so regularly now – seeing it get faved & boosted so much in the lead-up to his funeral was lovely, and all the condolences & well-wishes really made me feel like I’d been able to honour his memory amongst people who would have understood him & who appreciated his life’s work
I’ll leave it pinned for now, & I’m sure I’ll re-boost it every now & then to keep it circulating (and I’ll set up the #XClacksOverhead headers on my servers when I get a chance)
thank you all so much for using the #clacks & keeping the memory of my dad circulating through the æther 💕

over 200 lovely #FediFriends have favourited this tribute to my dad, which for me in my very small pond on masto is “doin’ numbers” 😜
thank you all so much for using the #clacks & keeping the memory of my dad circulating through the æther 💕
@algernon thank you, algernon 💕💕 I deeply appreciate you adding my dad’s name to your server X-Clacks-Overhead! 🥹 this is exactly what I was hoping would happen when I invoked the clacks 🤜💥🤛
as soon as all the funeral stuff is done & I manage to reboot my brain & get some spare cycles 😩 I’ll be adding the headers to my own servers – and I’m happy to pull in your names as well to keep them circulating through the æther 😊
thank you so much to all the wonderful #FediFriends who have boosted, faved, & replied to this toot – your response has been heartwarming & a balm against the overwhelm in what some folks are still calling “these troubled times” 💕
please keep the #clacks going & the memory of my dad circulating 🙏
I’ve re-posted this on my extremely-infrequently-updated #blog just in case this masto instance ever goes away… (sorry @jerry 🙃)
Vale, Wes Smith ❤️🩹
