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

[-] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 88 points 6 months 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.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 28 points 6 months ago

I'm glad that error exists.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 months 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.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Technically, all video is a series of updating stills.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

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

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months 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

[-] HereIAm@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months 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

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 23 points 6 months ago

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

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 36 points 6 months ago

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

[-] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months 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.

[-] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months 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."

Serving multiple data streams

Thread safe pouring

[-] blackluster117@possumpat.io 13 points 6 months ago

I love the whimsy of developers.

[-] dwemthy@lemdro.id 23 points 6 months ago

429: "Please stop trying"

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 16 points 6 months 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"

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago

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

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

451: “The law says get lost.”

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 5 months 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”

[-] ABasilPlant@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months 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

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

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

[-] MBM 16 points 6 months ago

200: Here you go (secretly still an error)

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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