Mind to elaborate on the significance of a military site being a teapot? Edit: ok, ok, definitely humongous and as such significant. Didn’t ment to be overly critical. Was more interested in the sites significance.

A combined coffee/tea pot that is temporarily out of coffee should instead return 503. This error is a reference to Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol defined in April Fools' jokes in 1998 and 2014.

  If someone hasn't yet made an IoT teapot that only returns that I'm officially disappointed in humanity.

It signifies it is sabotaged, either by someone internal or someone external I guess. (Bonus points if there is something extraordinary funny that I can't grasp as I'm neither native Russian or native English speaking, but already this has probably made my morning better :-) Edit: Bonus points awarded to rzzwilson above. Since I cannot transfer points, some news instead: Norway officially said that it is not illegal to go to Ukraine to fight the Russian invasion. A small number of Norwegians went to Kurdish areas to hunt war criminals from Daesh so it wouldn't be totally unexpected if some Vikings join the Ukrainian too. Edit 2: Thinking of it, more Norwegians fought in Finland in the Winter War so maybe more are coming? I don't know.

  > Thinking of it, more Norwegians fought in Finland in the Winter War so maybe more are coming? I don't know. On which side? During the Winter War, Finland and Germany were allies, their common enemy being the USSR. (I don't know how F&G helped each other.) At that time, Norwegians were fighting against Germany. Politics can be complicated in that region.

The "I am a teapot" reference is extra humerous because in Russian slang a teapot (chainik, чайник) is a word used to describe someone ignorant and liable to cause a disaster. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainik https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainik

  Or maybe they're brewing tea with polonium. ;)
