»The start date and end date should be in the format mm/dd/yyyy hh:ss Z«
Und tschüss. ISO 8601 oder gar nicht.
Ich suchte nach etwas, das mir aus einem CSV mit vielen Terminen ein ICS macht, das ich in eine Kalender-Software importieren kann. Und nein, ich brauche keine Hinweise mehr, ich wurde bereits ausführlich und hinreichend fündig. #iso8601

A new date format just landed.

Half a point for Linode: Gave a time in UTC, but still used god forsaken middle endian date format.
Below is the scheduled reboot timeline for your instance(s):
1. Linode Label: xxxxx Linode ID: xxxx Scheduled reboot: 09/03/2025 08:00 AM UTC

@… Temporal seems to use RFC 9557 which is a much stricter date format https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do

weee… I can finally stop serving WebP images! 🥳
Just in time when I have to start worrying about JPEG XL. 🤪

Drove through the Blackwall Tunnel to Greenwich and back to Islington yesterday.
South of the river it's all 30MPH speed limits and everything feels too fast and scary compared to the sedate and pedestrian-friendly 20MPH limits in the north.
Since I last went through it, it seems the Blackwall tunnel has added a toll.
The TFL website for setting up to pay the tolls is absolutely awful. Failed in Librewolf, Failed in Firefox. Failed because VPN. Took me four attempts in three different browsers to get it to take payment card details.
Demands *no* special characters in the password?!? And doesn't even tell you what the specific problem with the password is, just "doesn't meet the rules above"
Uses awful validation questions like "mothers maiden name". Bad enough practice to use them at all, but the "memorable date" question restricts to ddmmyy format so you can't even put in a date from outside this century.
For some reason asks for a PIN and and Password both!? Pointless. Then actually refuses the login form if you supply both!?

Setting up the auto-payment doesn't seem to have covered the charges added to the registration plate yesterday, so had to do the payment-details entering yet again to deal with yesterday's charges.
Email validation message contains the link only in the HTML of the email, not the text version, so viewed in Mutt it has no link.
And this all seems to be separate from the Dartford Crossing charge, which had a less crappy but still pretty crappy signup.
Good god council programmers suck at web-dev.
