Chronic, passive suicidal ideation is like living in the ocean. Let’s start talking about how to tread water.

Let's get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we.
Almost ten years ago now, I wrote RFC 7168, "Hypertext Coffeepot Control Protocol for Tea Efflux Appliances" which extends HTCPCP to handle tea brewing. Both Coffeepot Control Protocol and the tea-brewing extension are joke Internet Standards, and were released on Apr 1st (1998 and 2014). You may be familiar with HTTP error 418, "I'm a teapot"; this comes from the 1998 standard.
I'm giving a talk on the history of HTTP and HTCPCP at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin later this month, and I need an FAQ section; AMA about the Internet and HTTP. Let's try this out!
Hi, I'm the maintainer of Decronym. You may have come across Decronym on the aliensite, especially in the spaceflight communities; it picks up on comments that contain acronyms (that are in its database), and drops a helpful top-level comment on the thread that it keeps up to date as more acronyms get used.
Decronym's now running on Lemmy, here's a comment it left in /c/spacex a few days ago. There are a few acronyms and other bits of jargon that get thrown around in the selfhosted space: VPS, Plex, Debian and such like... so I wondered if y'all would welcome Decronym making comments in threads here?
If that sounds like a good idea, drop a comment with some acronyms and definitions you'd like Decronym to keep in its database, and I can look into getting it set up. Thanks!
[Lifted from the Other Place, where I made this post last year in preparation for driving the route...]
Various bypasses n' such mean its path has changed over time: SABRE have the "original" route as of 1923 but no directional navigation.
I had some time this weekend, so I've done the legwork, as far as it's possible to match the original route thanks to pedestrianised zones and one-ways. In three parts:
Manchester to Loughborough (Google doesn't want to route you down the A5004 to Buxton, so turn right instead of left at Whaley Bridge)
Bedford to the end of the A6, Chipping Barnet
I'd say "enjoy", but it's like a 7-hour drive apparently. I'll find out just how long it takes next week.
I did end up driving this whole route, stopping for lunch in Leicester and supping at the KFC in South Mimms. Got lost trying to find a way down the A5004, not realising it had been washed away, and had to backtrack onto the current route of the A6.
Most boring section? Bedford to Luton, of course. More or less a straight line with no distinguishing features.
If any of you feel like trying it, budget for 9 hours. It was fun, but it was much quicker coming back up the motorways.
