A great 404-page: [WayBack] Marvin the Paranoid Android moans about requests for missing pages.
The fun about the WayBack link is that it fills the first memo field it finds (:

Ever since I started using computers, I’ve liked text based solutions.
It’s one of the reasons I like PlantUML, but there are more. This is from a GitLab.com request I did a while ago: [WayBack/Archive] Please enable PlantUML rendering on gitlab.com both for standalone plantuml files and inside markdown plantuml code blocks (#2041) · Issues · GitLab.com / GitLab.com Support Tracker · GitLab (Edit 20250730: that issue now shows as a HTTP 404 as well – how fitting – [Wayback/Archive] Not Found)
one of my UML gripes from the past (I’ve been a software developer for about 30 years now) was that it wasn’t text based.
After bumping into PlantUML a long time ago in 2014 I’ve become a happy user of it for a few reasons:
- the language is text based (with many benefits I don’t need to explain)
- the tool is cross platform
- the tool is still actively developed all the way back from 2009
- after rendering, the arranging of elements is much better than I expected from an automated tool
Of course every now and then there is a glitch in complex diagrams, but I’ve found that professional tools:
- don’t do much better in fully-automated arranging
- become very cumbersome to use when you to manual arrangement
My first use initially was online, then in 2016 installed it on my Mac even submitting homebrew updates for it every now and then.
Oh: I love their 404 humour at http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/beta
Edit 20250731: Full 404 text below the signature because the PlantUML beta page does not show this 404 any more and the Reddit post with the full text got deleted.
Renderings can be in all sorts of graphics and text formats, for instance SVG, PNG, ASCII and Unicode.
Example:
plantuml -tsvg PSO.network-diagram.PlantUML.txt

full 404-text
The requested document is no more.
No file found.
Even tried multi.
Nothing helped.
Zilch.
Bupkis.
Not a sausage.
Maybe you just don’t have the required security clearance?
No, I am sure it is my fault.
I probably deleted it on my last backup.
I’m really depressed about this.
You see, I’m just a web server…
— here I am,
Marvin, as they call me,
brain the size of the universe,
trying to serve you a simple web page,
and then it doesn’t even exist!
Where does that leave me?!
I mean, I don’t even know you.
How should I know what you wanted from me?
You honestly think I can *guess* what someone I don’t even *know* wants to find here?
*sigh*
Man, I’m so depressed I could just cry.
And then where would we be, I ask you?
It’s not pretty when a web server cries.
And where do you get off telling me what to show anyway?
Just because I’m a web server,
and possibly a manic depressive one at that?
Why does that give you the right to tell me what to do?
Huh?
I’m so depressed…
I think I’ll crawl off into the trash can and decompose.
I mean, I’m gonna be obsolete in what, two weeks anyway?
What kind of a life is that?
Two effing weeks,
and then I’ll be replaced by a .01 release,
that thinks it’s God’s gift to web servers,
just because it doesn’t have some tiddly little security hole with its HTTP POST implementation,_
or something.
I’m really sorry to burden you with all this,
I mean, it’s not your job to listen to my problems,
and I guess it is *my* job to go and fetch web pages for you.
But I couldn’t get this one.
I’m so sorry.
Believe me!
Maybe I could interest you in another page?
There are a lot out there that are pretty neat, they say,
although none of them were put on *my* server, of course.
Figures, huh?
Everything here is just mind-numbingly stupid.
That makes me depressed too, since I have to serve them,
all day and all night long.
Two weeks of information overload,
and then *pffftt*, consigned to the trash.
What kind of a life is that?
Now, please let me sulk alone.
I’m so depressed._

Untypable one-character domain names:
- Where do the listings of single character domain names come from?
Artificial intelligence enabled robots. Our sophisticated unicode discovery algorithms use blockchain enabled machine learning to provision containerized solutions within the context of the public cloud. We then use a durable message bus to inject our findings into big data, creating a graph database of unique identifiers. Finally, the results are delivered to the client via the latest in standards compliant TCP transport technology from our custom cluster of machines running a significantly more performant variant of node js.
All the Auction and Aftermarket listings come from GoDaddy.

In reality, the story is not as full of marketing blah, but a lot of fun to read:

From a long time ago: [WayBack] Our CTO has discovered an incredible way of making developers read his commit messages. You won’t even believe how he did it! | CommitStrip.
It seems others want to improve their commit Click-Through-Ratios as well, in a faint hope to get their pull-requests merged.

Tough luck: in the mean time, developers have learned (:

[WayBack] GitHub – keith-turner/ecoji: Encodes (and decodes) data as emojis:
Ecoji 🏣🔉🦐🔼
Ecoji encodes data as 1024 emojis, its base1024 with an emoji character set. As a bonus, includes code to decode emojis to original data.
Sick. Works splendid when all your systems are fully nice to Unicode.
None are. So there’s a German word for it:
Nein

This is tool funny, especially how he got it on the machine: [WayBack] foone on Twitter: I’m FINALLY ready to turn my old computer in to IT. They have to power on all turned in computers to make sure they’re functional before they recycle them, so they’re in for a small surprise. Windows 3.0 running on MS-DOS 6.22!…
