Mm, I expect there are still some old rows from the previous database before the Upgrade-Gone-Wrong. Will take a look when I get a spare moment Sunday.

It is suspicious that the bot “found” cloudflare without it being mentioned…

Remind me in the morning, I’ll take it down for investigation.

Many thanks, added to the database.

Happy to take definitions and plug them into the database, if you have them to hand. If not, I’ll put aside a few minutes this weekend to look them up.

Mm, English calls them loanwords. Like we’re going to give them back at some point.

But English itself is an unholy marriage of Dutch and French, each half taking the other half as loanwords. It’s a miracle we get anything communicated.

Huh, so it’s doing this on every thread… Let me investigate.

I’m hosting the Decronym bot on a single-user instance, and it’s a real pain. The bot’s been down for weeks, actually, because an upgrade failed with some obscure error around the database schema…

I’ve ended up just today, wiping the whole thing and starting over, losing all data and having to refederate the bot. So yeah, I wouldn’t recommend.

The equivalent long option is --fuck-you

Right, I self-host email and have done for ten years or more, but I don’t do it out of a server at home. Does my Postfix not count as selfhosting any more?

Sounds like HowToBasic (or Basics?), from memory.

Each show is unique, from what I see in the comments. I feel like he’s not doing the traditional ‘write a set’ thing, but he works backwards from an idea (“America feels like a Dollar General nowadays”, for example) and has the ability to conjure an hour of almost shaggy-dog-story material on the spot leading you to that endpoint.

Rare talent.

So there are multiple people in this thread who state their job is to unfuck what the LLMs are doing. I have a family member who graduated in CS a year ago and is having a hell of a time finding work, how would he go about getting one of these “clean up after the model” jobs?

That was kind of the author’s point: that HTTP is so broadly specified, and at that point had so many unnecessary RFCs extending it, that you could halfway-sensibly write a hardware control protocol by HTTP alone even if that was a terrible idea.

Source: I wrote the tea-brewing extension to HTCPCP, which takes it another notch into the ridiculous.
