Nice write up!

I would also add that OP should spell out the text from the circuit board in their blog post, so that people who pick one apart and Google the text can also find this blog post.

And even the date stamp

and also the part that says

That's smart bro, thanks for the suggestion. I'm sure OP will appreciate it. Will those sort of simple changes even be able to make much of a difference compared to those heavily SEO optimised blogspam sites though?

Surprisingly, yes. SEO blogspam rarely optimizes for details this specific, unless it's mainstream technology (like, idk. version numbers on Windows or iPhones).

Provided we still have search engines that can search for literal text a few years from now, I think it should work.

Three cheers for the date format.

What’s so special about February 20, 2030 (6:29am)?

Putting the year first makes it unambiguous. Some places do month-day-year, and other places do day-month-year, so any date up to the 12th of the month can be confused. But if the year comes first then it's always year-month-day.

Also, a 4-digit year is important here.

Give that comment another read ;)

Touché. I suppose the separators are important also.

...How are you parsing the timestamp? I can't get it to match.

20230629:

  20 - day of month

   2 - month (w/o leading zero)

  30 - year

   6 - hour (w/o leading zero)

  29 - minute
Nightmare fuel. :-)

And very close to something I’ve seen in a large Austrian company.
