Loqi [preview] [DeWitt Clinton] Interesting. @techmeme.com is linking to Bluesky posts now, but has to link to the skeeet.xyz scraper because closed beta. Makes you think, if it's within ToS for skeeet.xyz to re-publish the content (is it?), why shouldn't Bluesky start serving a p...

c​apjamesg Tech meme went for another solution.
#
[KevinMarks] well, we were too flaky

#
[KevinMarks] yeah, do you want to carry a pager?
#
aaronpk rewrite it in PHP so a single exception doesn't take down the whole site 🙈
#
c​apjamesg [KevinMarks] pagers still work?
#
[KevinMarks] that, or catch the exceptions
#
[KevinMarks] ```process.on('uncaughtException', async (err) => {
#
[KevinMarks] console.log(err);
#
[KevinMarks] });```
#
[KevinMarks] there; have a PR
#
vladimyr Um, regarding node and exceptions. Yes, single uncaught exception on the main thread will bring it down and as of lately the same will happen with uncaught async thrown exceptions
#
vladimyr But the reason it constantly happens with bsky.link is beacuse express does NOT support async express handlers natievly
#
vladimyr You need to be either very careful to wrap all your request handlers, catch errors and send them back to express /engine/ via next(err) callback
#
vladimyr Or you simply setup add 1 LOC! that sets up ghub.io/express-async-errors and pretend like someone fast forwarded express to v6 that actually does support async request handlers
#
vladimyr How I know it? I helped to build the damn thing and it directly influenced supposedly upcoming Express v6
#
[KevinMarks] that does sound handy
