About

Clacks Overhead is a feature based on the concept of semaphore towers from the Discworld fantasy book series written by Sir Terry Pratchett, an English author and humorist.

It was devised by Reddit users and allows websites to broadcast a message to the world via the non-standard X-Clacks-Overhead HTTP header. This message is usually dedicated to the memory of Terry Pratchett, reading "GNU Terry Pratchett", though it can contain any text.

Multiple languages specified by <link rel="alternate"> with the hreflang attribute.
