  • Backdoor slipped into multiple WordPress plugins in ongoing supply-chain attack

    Jump

  • It’s the only CMS that runs on a classic AMP stack which is still the standard with cheap web hosters. And since everyone and their dog is using it, you can easily find support and ready-to-use plugins for almost anything.

    In the car world, WordPress is your plain old petrol car that just runs, can easily be refuelled and you can get anything repaired at every other street corner. That’s why it is still so widespread.

  • Ghost runs on NodeJS which isn’t available at most cheap webhosters. Also it doesn’t do traditional blog things like pingbacks, trackbacks or webmentions.

    BearBlog can’t be self-hosted at all - it says so right on their GitHub’s README.

    WriteFreely is a Go binary that - again - isn’t supported on most cheap hosters. Also I can’t seem to find anything about it supporting pingbacks, trackbacks or webmentions. It seems to be more like a one-user Mastodon instance.

  • It pops up on BundleHunt every once in a while.

  • MountainDuck supports this. They call it “cache on demand”. So you could setup an SFTP connection and use it via that. The next version of MountainDuck - v5 - should even support SMB.

  • Self-hosted alternative to synology drive?

    Jump

  • On this Reddit thread they suggested SeaFile as their client explicitly supports selective sync. And also MountainDuck which can work with various protocols.

    EDIT: Mountain Duck 5 even adds SMB support.

  • Which link/bookmark manger do you prefer, and why?

    Jump

  • Similar here. As I don’t need multi-user support, I don’t bother with self-hosting some tool.

    Bookmarks go to Safari where they’re synced between all my Apple devices and pop up automatically in the address bar.

    And long-term bookmarks (news articles, references, etc.) go into Anybox which keeps an offline copy of the website so I can still read it in 10-20 years.

  • Content Warnings Do Not Reduce Distress, Study Shows

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, but if somebody decides to browse their pr0n and scat alts while they're at work and/or eating... that's on them.

    Your rhetoric reeks of alt-right, I guess you’re “inconvenienced” by reserved parking spots, and for inclusive language, and want to “get rid of them” too?

    And this is how you demonstrate that you're not interested in continuing this discussion. Thanks for the entertainment, though. :)

  • So, you're saying these traumatised people need to find ways to manage public TV and newspapers, but on Mastodon everybody else is supposed to accommodate for them and add CWs?

    Again, the people that might(!) profit from the CWs are a minuscule amount compared to the people inconvenienced by them. And, as the linked study explains, they even seem to make things worse. So my point is: Just get rid of them. According to that study, that might even be beneficial to these traumatised people.

  • Content Warnings Do Not Reduce Distress, Study Shows

    Jump

  • Then how did these traumatised people ever watch the news on TV or read a newspaper where there are no CWs? How did they take part in discussions on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc.? And how are they supposed to work through their trauma when they never get confronted with it?

    If they are okay with "some things", they'd have to open each article behind a very generic CW-description anyways. What's the purpose of the CW then?

  • Why do these snowflakes just not filter the content like normal people? Most apps support this. Why does everybody else have to click away the CW just because a minuscule fraction of people might get irritated?

  • That’s stupid. Those pixels on a screen can’t hurt anyone. And if you think otherwise, you should seek professional help instead of expecting from everyone else to adjust to your mental issues.

  • What’s next? A “CW: Dog” so snowflakes that like cats don’t feel offended?

  • Yeah, I get pretty stressed out when people put CWs on stupid things like "CW: Food".

  • Monitoring software for a wide array of hw and sw

    Jump

  • You know you can basically implement Healthchecks.io completely in Zabbix using zabbix-sender or any compatible implementation of it? (Or find a better way, e.g. querying the timestamp of a logfile or even check the logfile for "OK" or "ERROR" lines... lots of ways possible.)

  • Monitoring software for a wide array of hw and sw

    Jump

  • For me it’s the other way around. In Check_MK I was constantly writing new custom checks and it was all manual code and overall felt like Nagios on steroids (what it was back then) - just not in a good way.

    In Zabbix you can do everything in the UI without messing around in the file system. And things like translating SNMP results to readable text works throughout the system without having to include a Python file and then call it from within your various other checks. All the alerting logic can be clicked together and easily amended in the UI. It’s so much more comfortable once you’ve figured it out.

  • But these 3 are all about metrics, right? While they’re great to monitor and analyse numbers (ping times, disk space, memory, etc.), they aren’t that great with e.g. plaintext error messages in log files. That’s how I remember it from a few years ago, at least.

    iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers'

  • No, that’s stupid. They don’t get anything from keeping that from you. And the main source of frustration comes from luggage handlers that are usually employed by the airports and not the airlines.

    When they don’t give a damn, you won’t get your luggage. Like in this video where they insisted the luggage is still at a different airport. Because that’s what the computer said. And nobody looked for themselves which would’ve easily shown that somebody clearly forgot to do the arrival scan.

  • It clearly says:

    These limits allow for nearly all types of lithium batteries used by the average person in their electronic devices.

    This is in general for carry-on and checked luggage. And then there’s the other paragraph about Lithium Ion batteries needing to go into the carry-on.
