Everyone give it up for the fella who ran a webserver on a teapot

[-] [email protected] 88 points 1 year ago

I like returning 418 instead of 404 or 403 on the files the script kiddies are hunting for on my web servers. I'm sure it does nothing but I'd like to think I've wasted some of their time at least once.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

I'm glad that error exists.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm pretty sure it exists because of RFC2324 hyper text coffee pot control protocol

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Fun fact, first webcam was a series of updating stills of an actual coffee pot so some engineers would know if there was coffee made.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Technically, all video is a series of updating stills.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

True, but most streaming media now is a bunch of stills with the changes for each individual frame between them.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

True, but webcams still just deliver raw frames (or compressed frames in the case of MJPEG).

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With that, plus image recognition, plus a control system, you could use rfc2324 to implement the digital control side

Though I think I'd use weight, temperature, and flow sensors for easier service implementation

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And then plug those values into a image generation service to give users a visually intuitive way to see if there's cooffe or not!

Necessity is the mother of invention

You had one chance to use 420 and you squandered it.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

HTTP 418 is the "I'm a teapot" code

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Oh I get plenty of chances to use 420. But I think you might be missing the joke. 😁

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

420 is still avalable. Not sure what you would put there ("Server too high?") and given the controversy over 418 I think its best to leave that one blank instead of making a weed joke.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use "420 Enhance Your Calm" as a code to indicate you're being rate limited.

200: "I gotchu, bro. Here you go. Have a good day."

401: "You're not on the list. Get lost."

402: "Pay me or get lost."

403: "Everyone get lost."

404: "You are lost."

500: "Ooopsss."

501: "Knew I forgot something..."

504: "I can't do this shit all day."

Thread safe pouring

I love the whimsy of developers.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

429: "Please stop trying"

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

401 is "I don't know who you are. Get fucked"

403 is "I know who you are and you're not allowed here. Get fucked"

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

502: "I'm fucked, you're fucked, but most of all the developer trying to solve this is super fucked."

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

451: “The law says get lost.”

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

401 is more like “Tell me who tf you are or get lost”, while 403 means “You're not on the list, get lost”

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Surprised no one's mentioned HTTP Cats yet:

https://http.cat/

Personally, HTTP 405 (Method not allowed) is my favorite:

An image of former US president George Bush eating a cat. The text below the image reads, "405. Method Not Allowed"

Why do these feel like the 5 stages of grief 🤔

MS Teams does this unironically

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

As a software developer / network admin, all of these are almost always "I fucked up configuring the web server".

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

200: Here you go (secretly still an error)

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

These are pretty good as an overview tbh. I like it when teachers have a sense of humour at least.
