Have some stuff on a VPS, some stuff hosted as static pages at Cloudflare, some stuff hosted at home too.
Depends on if 100% uptime is required, if they’re just serving static content, or if they’re in some way related to another service I’m running (I have a couple of BBSes, and the web pages that host the clients and VMs that host the clients run locally).
Though, at this point, anything I’m NOT hosting at home is kinda a “legacy” deployment, and probably will be brought in-house at some point in the future or converted to static-only and put on Cloudflare if there’s some reason I can’t/don’t want to host it at home.

But again, most people aren’t running Linux
Exactly. This is bad, for the 0.3% of the computing population that use Linux AND have CUPS installed AND actually print things.
Not exactly a prime target, compared to literally almost anything else. If I were going all-in on something after having gained access to someone’s local network, I’m 100% in on any exploit that lets me use an infostealer trojan to steal your session cookies, not fiddling around and hoping you print something.
(Patch your shit anyways, but there’s no need to freak out.)
normalized microtransactions
I’d say it’s maybe a little more honest to say they normalized the gambling exploitation in gaming with the TF2 lootboxes.
You didn’t buy cosmetics, you bought a key to open a box that might get you the cosmetic you wanted.

It’s that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns is only alive because all the things that would kill him are cancelling each other out, but in PHP form.
I tend to use Squarespace because uh, they have a marketing budget and everyone tends to already know (or at least one of the people in the meeting anyways) who they are, which makes things an easier sell.
I don’t particularly think they’re the best or whatever, but they at least do what they say at a price that’s reasonable enough and I’ve yet to be burned by suggesting them, sooooo…
Not quite: it’ll drop a v2 captcha for you to solve when a v3 one can’t clearly classify you one way or another.
So if v3 isn’t entirely sure you’re human, it’ll make you do a v2.
It’s still mindboggling that Kia sells any cars without immobilizers.
I get they’re cheap cars and the way they’re cheap is to skimp on everything but uh, maybe that’s not the right place to skimp?
He announced on GitHub somewhere that he’s wanting to push out the next major version of UptimeKuma first, then come back and work on dockge.
So it’s not abandoned, but it’s just a second priority.
I’ve been pushing Squarespace for most people who come to me asking about setting up a small store or just simple business website.
Yeah, it’s closed source and blah blah blah, but the end of the day, it’s not about my opinions on software, it’s about the most cost-effective, simple, usable option for the client who is asking me for my expertise, which is almost always not something they’re going to have to keep paying me to maintain.
Like if you really really want Wordpress, I’ll get you set up, and then quote you a couple thousand a year for maintenance.
Unshockprisingly, very few people think that’s the right choice once they see what the keep-it-from-being-exploited cost is.
(And for anyone who thinks that’s an unreasonable amount, okay cool. But maintaining a staging environment and testing updates and then pushing everything into production assuming there’s no regressions you have to address takes a lot of time.)
Depends on if you need a CMS, or if you can use a static site generator.
For a CMS, I’m still a fan of Ghost and it has (mostly) not enshittified to the point it’s unpleasant to use.
If you don’t need the whole CMS thing, there’s an awful lot of options. (And hosting them is super simplified since you can just stuff the output into a S3 bucket/Cloudflare Pages/Github Pages/a dozen other providers for basically free.)
Well, given how torrents work, yes, because you have to.
When you’re downloading, you know the IP of everyone you’re downloading from, and they know yours because that’s how the internet works.
If an anti-piracy corpo hops on the swarm, they’ll be able to see the IPs from all the peers as well.
So, TLDR: yeah, public anything is stupid when simply knowing the swarm exists and being able to connect to it is sufficient to provide enough documentation for everyone involved to get screwed.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t you also end up exposing the IP of every peer on that torrent to anyone who joins the swarm, even if you masked the tracker and stats or whatever?
Like, IIRC that’s kind a requirement for how torrents work in general, and so this idea would be making all activity on private trackers public, and I’d have to say that seems like a really, really stupid thing to want to do given the current situation where corpos are going after infringers again.
Wordpress is not a good fit for their complex web application
Seriously. People want to shove everything into Wordpress then get cranky when you can’t make Wordpress into a ecommerce store, marketing platform, personal blog, file sharing service, and NFT marketplace.
And then it gets hacked because they needed 14 SEO plugins, 2 different form plugins, and were not going to pay for managed updates because that’s easy they can do it themselves.
Would it be wrong to hope they manage to commit some gross act of mutual destruction, and that the outcome would be that I never have to deal with Wordpress ever again?
Yeah I was more referring to huge outliers, like the 4? 6? Tb seagates they had a few years ago that were like 25% Afr.
So that apk strikes me as probably malware, and who the hell would trust some spamming jackass with their personal data even if it isn’t?
They did, and it was. Coined the term ‘glassholes’
And Snapchat tried it with their uh, whatever the hell they called it and pretty much ended the same way.
Basically, it’s an easy way to put ‘giant dipshit’ on your forehead and make people avoid you.
Been wanting to play with a meshtastic radio and the TC2-BBS stuff, but the official site was uh, not the most clear as to what the hell I actually wanted/needed.
This certainly clarifies that, at least, so thanks!
