@CK0d3r If you dont want to use analytics on your website, consider using Webmentions :) It will alert you when someone else mentions your website. Start here: https://webmention.io (twitter.com/_/status/1415194943103115264)

@schestowitz "I think something resembling the Web's Webmentions would be a good start. With Webmentions, you write a comment on Webpage A on your own website, Webpage B that has a backlink to Webpage A." https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/006905.html (twitter.com/_/status/1415231823043567619)

petermolnar [schmarty]: "http 418 I'm a teapot" states one is a teapot, and teapots are not known for being http servers, so to say 'I am not a http server' I'd say it's sufficient to state they are a teapot.

rockorager TIL https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/418
#
[schmarty] now i'm tipping towards an existential quandary. i hope it doesn't spill over into a crisis.
#
[schmarty] hahaha good find rockorager i particularly vibe with this part:
#
[schmarty] > Some websites use this response for requests they do not wish to handle
#
Loqi [schmarty]: lol
#
rockorager I like this part from the spec:
#
rockorager > Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error
#
rockorager code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and
#
rockorager stout.

#
[fluffy] Publ has specific support for HTTP 418 responses, incidentally 😉
#
[fluffy] You can declare an entry to have a publish-status of ‘teapot’
#
[fluffy] (also ‘dmca’ which returns an HTTP 451)
#
[fluffy] http://beesbuzz.biz/error/418 is how it renders on my site, because I haven’t bothered to make a teapot-specific error page.

[snarfed] ah HTTP 451. I should switch https://github.com/snarfed/huffduff-video/commit/9be004c558fec2b9dece58afa5b77db927ba26d5 to return it, first time I’ve had a legitimate reason
