Now Iโ€™m tempted to finally replace that default page with this one ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] Toribor@corndog.social 1 points 2 hours ago

This one is at least as informative as the default. Sometimes I'll be troubleshooting an application where the developers got a little too creative with error messages and I'll get an "Error: Oopsie woopsie you broke the website!" And I'm like JUST GIVE ME AN ERROR CODE I'M THE ADMINISTRATOR AND I NEED TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS!

This tab made me think my instance was down again.

That's actually a very bad gateway if it's still running an nginx from 2010.

More like bad proxy/load balancer, imo, but sure.

Mine gave 418 so I shoved a teabag in and poured water on it

It still doesn't work

[โ€“] de_lancre@lemmy.world 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Well, of course it won't work as a router โ€” it's a teapot.

[โ€“] vrek@programming.dev 7 points 7 hours ago

Yeah fine but it's a bad teapot too... The tea was way too weak and barely warm nevermind hot

[โ€“] slazer2au@lemmy.world 29 points 15 hours ago

Of cause it's a bad gateway, look at it. Doesn't even look like a real Cisco router.

[โ€“] RustyNova@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago

I need to change my default bad gateway html to this at one point.

Idk if it's possible using NPM

[โ€“] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Should have used a Gateway computer from like 2003.

[โ€“] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

would have been more accurate. I don't know many devs that could tell the difference between an actual network gateway and a desktop computer.
