Is there a "D weekly news" I could do an email subscription to?

There's http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.html which is unofficial but interesting and weekly. AFAIK there's no newsletter but it provides a RSS feed. Otherwise I think the easiest is to use the fact that this forum isn't a forum but a newsgroup (hence available by mail) to subscribe to Announce. Blog entries in particular are announced there.

Several pages on the official blog give code 404 even though they work. Your RSS reader probably just isn't checking the code, but the browser is. These should all be fixed on the server... could be hurting seo too.

Got any examples? No one has reported this to me before and I haven’t encountered a 404 in a while.

Almost all of them! Hit F12 to open browser tools and notice the network tab: https://dlang.org/blog/2020/01/08/recent-d-compiler-releases/ https://dlang.org/blog/2020/01/04/dconf-2020-double-decker-edition/ and more. The HTML is displayed, but it has the 404 code so according to the http spec you are actually displaying it all as error pages!

I'm not getting any 404s in the network tab in Chrome's dev tools. Even on a reload. Most everything is 200, with a handful of 204s. A couple are 302 or 304, and there's one 101. Am I missing something?

Apparently so. Firefox shows me a 404 for the URL with the parameter ?relatedposts=1. Must be something in the Wordpress settings triggering the fetch. Maybe with Jetpack. I wonder why Chrome doesn't show it. I'll look into it.

So it's not happening with every post. And now I've seen that when it does happen, it also returns 404 for the URL with no parameters. I'm also seeing it in Chrome now. The option to show related posts in Jetpack is turned off. So I have no clue why that keeps showing up for some posts and not others.

I see it on all browsers, chrome, firefox, even curl -v. Don't know why... I'd suggest making sure the index.php file looks normal (I've seen wordpress malware do lots of weird things before with UA sniffing to stealth googlebomb), check the .htaccess if you are on apache, maybe just a wrong setting on the rewrite rule, and otherwise maybe audit the plugins. Or delete all that wordpress junk and make something in D :P

Mike, I know we're not a golang shop, but I highly recommend switching to HUGO for the blog.

HOLY NEGATIVE SEO BATMAN curl -v shows that it is returning 404 indeed.
