Does anyone remember when businesses would operate their websites only during business hours and then take most of the functionality offline after hours?
I’m possibly also mis-remembering my early internet years and just talking shit.

IIRC, the USA Social Security Administration’s website operates somewhat like this, because they seem to still do batch processing (a la mainframes) during the evening hours. As a result, they prevent people from logging in so that they don’t get interstitial data about their public pension.

This is sometimes still a thing. I know w of at least one religious news organisation that takes the website offline on Sundays.
