It is actually dead simple: there is a simple server running on online.blek.codes and a cron job on my laptop that sends POST requests every minute (a heartbeat protocol basically) and that server serves that gif on URL online.blek.codes/gif.

If the server didn't receive a heartbeat for a few minutes, it assumes that i am offline and serves the offline gif.

You can add it to your website too, but it will require a bit of tinkering and requires you to have a web server as well.
