(Correct answer: open a file, write to a file, close the file, write a client to open the file periodically.   Other answers: /dev/shm, writing to VGA memory directly, using serial lines, rsync to remote system)


How does that get served over the internet?


I never said it had to be.   I mistyped...the original question i asked said "httpd".

I also, rsync uses sockets, no?


It doesn't have to.

I like the idea of implementing your own SLIP + HTTPD over serial though..


I do too.   That's why it's a correct answer. ;)

It's intended to point out that a lot of modern CompSci students can't quite think outside the box...only by what the book, GitHub, Ruby conferences, and their elitist communities tell them.
