#13A lot of our internal FarmLogs health check endpoints return the tractor emoji when things are kosher.
That is really cute! Do you have anything for when things are not so kosher? Perhaps a pile of poo or a flame.

#14April Fool's?
A real announcement (unicode support) in an April Fool's package (doing the announcement only mentioning emoji).
LukeShu nailed it with their reply. :)

#18Is this an April Fools thing or not? I legitimately can't tell and it's making me hate this day even more.
Sort of. The announcement is obviously silly, and April-Fools-y, but the changes in nginx aren't--what it's really about is Unicode in general, not emojis specifically.
Yes but...can I use emojis exactly like in the config? I want to drive my sysadmin crazy :)

Are there any changes? ;)
There are no changes. We've always had unicode support. We had some fun and created several silly configs :)

#20The emoji craze has had the nice side-effect of forcing a lot of projects to make sure their stuff supports Unicode properly, because now it's something that even English-speaking software users can appreciate. It's a good thing.
I never thought about it that way. You are right indeed.
