The article says Delridge is Debian based but appears to be using RPMs? Never seen that. I would have thought the primary advantage of being Debian based is the large repository of packages?

it says delridge (old) was debian based. Mariner (new) is rpm based (but not a rhel derivative)

This comment made me LOL. Thank you, that's pretty funny.

I was curious if this was a saying I'd never heard of or if you just came up with it. Seems you just came up with this?

What's amazing is that Google already has this HN post indexed and you're already the first hit for the phrase. And even weirder, Google says that they (currently) indexed it 56 minutes ago, when HN reports you posted it 23 minutes ago. Google is now apparently predicting the future 33 minutes in advance.

Wouldn't that just be because OP's comment appeared on the article, which was posted ~1h ago, and the Google result link is to the article, not the comment directly, hence has the earlier timestamp?

Ah yes, OK. My bad. That definitely sets the world back to normal then.

One interpretation is that Google is lying about the indexing time.

But it seems more likely in this case that they're reporting the indexing time of the page they link to ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33458756 ), rather than the indexing time of the comment you're responding to ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33459157 , which can only have been indexed half an hour ago).

In other words, they updated their cache of the page content without refreshing the indexing timestamp.

It's still a bit off; Google's index clearly contains content that wasn't present on the page at the "time of indexing".

Whatever content appeared on the page after Google indexed it is something Google shouldn't know about.
