TIL there is an unofficial HTTP status code 420, "Enhance your calm"... lol

Introduced by twitter IIRC. When used it generally means you've hit some sort of rate limit. 429 "Too Many Requests" is usually more appropriate.

The code had a previous (now deprecated and possibly no more official when it was in use) hence the gap in the list of official codes.

Cute mapaches. I’ll have to keep this handy for International Raccoon Day on April 12.

416 is my favorite so far.

The domain .cat is designed specifically for the promotion of Catalan language and culture at a global level.

It's a shame that they are allowed to monopolize a domain extension like this. A more sensible approach would have been to have this requirement for .catalan instead of the generic .cat .

The rules are quite loose: as long as you make your content available in catalan, they'll be happy to have your site hosted in the TLD

This is super cute, but unfortunately it's currently both misconfigured and broken. Very easy fixes though.

Firstly, it's eyebrow-raisingly slow. A quick network check shows everything is capped at 100kbps download. For PNG images that translates to a hitch-y 2-3 second pause.

Secondly, the slowness is amplified to the point of "this needs fixing" by the total lack of caching. Everything pauses every time the image loads.

Thirdly,

It's changing the mimetype but serving the same image!

Critically, besides these issues, this is perfect and fit for purpose :)

The wepb images are smaller and load pretty fast.

Hey, creator here! Thanks for the feedback. For the first point, I can't reproduce this slowness. On the third point, and I'm mostly asking for thoughts here: I'm thinking of removing the "false" formats, but I wonder if they come with any upsides?

Very weird that it's using paths instead of the Accept header to change the content type, but otherwise pretty cool

The implementations are pretty neat. Especially this one.
