    Ich hatte mal ein paar Monate, wo ich echt wenig geputzt habe, bis dann eben irgendwie 'nen Tag vor dem Zahnarzt-Termin.

    Zahnarzt war so begeistert von meinen Zähnen, dass er dann tatsächlich gesagt hat “Was auch immer sie tun, um ihre Zähne zu putzen, machen Sie das weiter.”.

    Äh… 😅



  • Yeah, I’m just saying that the benefit of using such a regex isn’t massive (unless you’re building a service which can’t send a mail).

    a@b is a syntactically correct e-mail address. Most combinations of letters, an @-symbol and more letters will be syntactically correct, which is what most typos will look like. The regex will only catch fringe cases, such as a user accidentally hitting the spacebar.

    And then, personally, I don’t feel like it’s worth pulling in one of those massive regexes (+ possibly a regex library) for most use-cases.



  • Well, and remember: If in doubt, send them an e-mail. You probably want to do that anyways to ensure they have access to that mailbox.

    You can try to use a regex as a basic sanity check, so they’ve not accidentally typed a completely different info into there, but the e-mail standard allows so many wild mail addresses, that your basic sanity check might as well be whether they’ve typed an @ into there.










  • Hmm, I don’t know anything about Whoogle, but from other privacy-conscious search engines, I would expect it to work when you use that URL in your bookmark.

    Three things I can imagine:

    • Something in your hosting stack strips the URL parameters, like maybe your reverse proxy, if you use one. You might be able to see in the Whoogle or web server logs, which URLs actually reach it. Might need to set it to debug/trace logging.
    • Maybe there’s a flag in the Whoogle configuration you need to enable to accept these preference URLs.
    • It’s a bug in that Whoogle version.
