The numbers

Nopes written, up to 2026-09-25

Counted from the one line the engine writes when a nope is delivered. That line carries the length, the voice setting, a timing and a random request id — never the question, never the reply. The count is taken by hand and built into this page, because the running service keeps no tally of its own: see below.

This instance, since it started

Nothing yet — this copy of the engine has not been asked for a nope since it started.

These counters live in memory. When nobody is using the site the service shuts down entirely, and when it starts again they begin at zero. Nothing is written to disk, so a quiet night genuinely erases them.

What we could not tell you, even if asked

• What anyone asked. The question is held in memory for the seconds it takes to write the reply, and is never written down.
• What any nope said. The reply is streamed to the person who asked and kept nowhere else.
• Who asked. No cookie, no session, no account, no analytics. Addresses are used only to count requests against a rate limit, as a salted hash that is forgotten minutes later and never stored.
• Which nope was which. The counts above cannot be joined to anything: there is nothing to join them to.
• Whether you have been here before. Genuinely no idea.

This is not a promise about how we behave. It is a statement about what exists: the engine has one place it is allowed to write anything, and in this deployment that place discards. How that works.
