So relatable: [Wayback/Archive] Five Geek Social Fallacies – Plausibly Deniable
Via: [Wayback/Archive] Ian Coldwater 📦💥 on X: “It has come to my attention that there are younger folks who haven’t heard of Five Geek Social Fallacies. It was written in 2003 and the social dynamics stay real. Once you read it, you’ll see them everywhere.”

I responded to [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com on Twitter: “@0xD4ni @Twitter What is the regexp for an emoticon ?” with [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@jilles_com @0xD4ni @Twitter \p{So}+ See …”.
I got the answer from [Wayback/Archive] java – What is the regex to extract all the emojis from a string? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] vishalaksh, and [Wayback/Archive] Desgard_Duan) which refers to the quoted section below.
Note that correctly matching highly depends on the versions of the libraries you use: there have been lots of releases of Unicode versions over the last years (since 2014 roughly every 12 months) each usually adding more Emoji.
In addition, many Emoji are not single Unicode codepoints: often they are code points (with or without any of the variation selectors) stacked on top of each other with zero-width joiners like I described in Kris on Twitter: “Company chat: »Right, we need more languages with Emoji as variable type indicators and pointer symbols.«….
I tried fiddling on [Wayback/Archive] regex101: build, test, and debug regex and could not always getting it to work as I hoped for, but also could not figure out how recent their libraries are.

Want: [WayBack] Typografische Strafzettel – Nerdcore
Hoefler&Co verkauft Typografische Strafzettel für Schlechtsetzer und Buchstabenkombinationsnullen. Die Schriftverbrechen gliedern sich auf dem Strafzettel in Vergehen der Auswahl (wie der unironische Einsatz „amüsanter“ Schriften oder die amateurishe Anwendung von Schriftauszeichnung ), der Komposition (zuviele Schriftgrößen, schlechtes Kerning), der Zeichensetzung (Ligaturen, korrekte Anführungen) und in Schwere Ästhetikverletzungen (elektronische Schrägschrift, Verzerrung). Großartige Idee, und sie haben nichtmal ComicSans mit Namen erwähnt. Toll! (via Jason Kottke, Bild des ganzen Strafzettels unten via /u/hova414) By special issue from the 100% totally real Typographic Violations Division, the Uniform Ticket Book is standard equipment for the modern design enforcer. Lists thirty-two common design infractions, each
I wish they were available outside in Europe, as it looks like it is is USA only with large foreign shipping costs at [WayBack] The Typographic Ticket Book – Hoefler&Co:

A long time ago, I named a tool Cerberus after the mythical multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld, as it was to inspect client systems configurations to prevent they would enter a bad state.
Since I need a multi-headed tool later on, below are some links on multi-headed (Polycephaly – Wikipedia) creatures to give me inspiration.
Some of them are centered around war, others around hell, are dragons or monsters, and a few are guardians. Later I will try to put a classification in a table or so.
The idea is to replace my current Apache TLS offloading (that uses letsencrypt/certbot for the certificates) with something else like an nginx one, and maybe even make the internal part TLS too (so it becomes TLS upstreaming) so these will come in useful too:
Instead of nginx, HAproxy might be a an option too, especially as it understands TCP traffic other than http much better than nginx:
This means I should first look into nginx vs haproxy – Google Search, for instance these posts:

From the geek fun department: [WayBack] IP over Avian Carriers – Wikipedia.
I learned through this slightly after the fight to keep HTTP status code 418 (I’m a teapot) which is part of RFC2324 released on April 1st, 1998.
The IP over Avian Carriers is part of three RFCs, all released on April 1st in various years:

Even for Geeks like me, this is a great on-line tool for converting media files: [WayBack/Archive] Zamzar – video converter, audio converter, image converter, eBook converter
Thanks Matijn for pointing me to this.
And for nerds there is ffmpeg:
for name in *.ogg; do ffmpeg -i "$name" -ab 128k -map_meta_data 0:0,s0 "${name/.ogg/.mp3}"; done;

The Compact Cassette has been on a comeback path for a few years now and around this time of the year, I expect the [WayBack] Cassette Store Day to happen (check out https://www.facebook.com/CassetteStoreDay/ for the exact date).
So it’s time to re-share the The Daily Drawing by Lorie Ransom on the right.
