(Quote) I thought it was more of a neutral post - sharing the news. This is a big move. Out-of-the-box solutions are beating WordPress, and these big players are trying hard to stay in the game. But I had forgotten to add my standard Marx-told-you-…

(Quote) It's free proper beta testing now. Don't see why they would ditch that.
-
(Quote) English isn't my native. "Not reversible" is what I mean - if that's the right way to put it. My long-winded drivel on the hash function. :)
-
(Quote) Not necesserily, as far as I know. Hash is a one-way process (asymmetric). You shouldn't be able to determine the password from the given hash. You needn't decrypt them on the server, there's nothing to decrypt. During log-in, the entered …
-
(Quote) We're talking about Google authenticator and/or Authy and the likes (so not SMS or email)? Regarding the passwords, if implemented properly, they too work using asymmetric encryption - only (salted) password hash should be stored. (Quote) …
-
(Quote) How does this differ from (properly implemented) passwords? Sure - there's only a 30 to 60-second window for decrypting the WebAuth code, but that's a 4 to 8 digit code, compared to a password that can (and should?) be 30+ characters long. …
-
My workaround for the device lost/damaged/stolen is using Authy. WebAuth used as an additional security layer along with a strong password is safer than only using a strong password. But I doubt that WebAuth by itself is much more secure than just …
-
I use Softaculous when possible (the link's to my how-to on that). When not, I use All-in-One WP Migration (again, my tutorial). If all else fails - I do it "manually."
-
(Quote) They seem to think blocking VPN IPs is a good idea. It makes sense for purchases, but for the KB - I don't see why.
-
What @MikeA said. Shared hosting saves you time/hassle - you just put what you want on it and it runs. Along with all the bells and whistles, whether you need them or not (CloudLinux, LiteSpeed and the likes). I also suppose that shared hosting ac…

In the meantime, small website owners technically have to pay for GDPR lawyers and implement GDPR cookie consent, contact persons etc. Allegedly, to protect the privacy of people who carry microfone+camera surveillance devices with them all day lon…

(Quote) Today, I'd say that Squarespace beats it for websites, while Shopify beats it for webshops, at least when it comes to non-tech people. Not a bad article on this topic: WordPress’ market share is shrinking
-
(Quote) Thanks for the feedback. I've been off cPanel completely for a few months now (went full retard DirectAdmin :) ). About the website comment problem (and the article update) - shoot me a PM (or make an off-topic section thread, to not bot…
-
(Quote) True - every year I look back on myself and realise how stupid I was. :) (Image) Regarding my expertise - it's realistic to say I'm an experienced user, but not a (real) developer. I aim to keep it that way. :)
-
(Quote) No rush. As far as I figure, you are not likely to benefit from reading it. The only potential benefit could come for any novice readers (including myself :) ) if you provide some additions or corrections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v…
-
(Quote) Thanks. :) I've added a note about backups and image optimization. WordPress 6.0 is still in beta (to be released at the end of this month)?
-
(Quote) Every solution has its pros and cons. Correct me if I'm wrong: WP2static with Cloudflare workers is a bit of a steeper learning curve for beginners, especially if they wish to have website comments, or run a WooCommerce webshop. The articl…
-
(Quote) All very good points. Thank you. :) With that in mind: 1) I've edited the article by adding a more "explicit" link to my article explaining what a vCPU is. The article was already linked to from a table, but that's more easily m…
-
Prices go up, currencies go down, pays remain more-less the same. The way things are going, I'm happy as long as Serbia doesn't win the next Eurovision. :)
-
Here's a list of my videos, sorted by topics (most are bicycle-related, but there are some computer-related). Here are the latest (and greatest) videos. :) If that English is good enough for you, read on. :) Potential problems I've got practical…
-
(Quote) Correct me if I'm wrong, but HostBill system requirements look rather standard, i.e. should work on a basic shared/reseller hosting stack. VPS makes sense if you need some "exotic" system setup. In terms of power, I don't think VP…
-
(Quote) I agree. It's just worth noting: Check your hardware resource needs. Some reseller hosting providers allow you to tune those (Brixly, HostMantis, KnownHost and MDDHosting as of recently - to note a few). Others have set limits per a created…
-
(Quote) Good points. Still, I don't like being "that guy" if you understand what I mean (I don't mean, nor imply the OP).
-
(Quote) I think that's good. It can be argued that this allows for better resource usage - closer to optimal. For example: I can create accounts on my reseller hosting, providing say 5 GB of storage for each (overselling practically). That provides…
-
(Quote) Twitter is censored, that's a fact. That's a dangerous thing to do with what is in practice and in fact a public service (privately owned, but public nonetheless). For example, I think abortion should be legal, while 16-spoked bike wheels s…
-
(Quote) Yup. :( It makes perfect sense in capitalism to force us to get new PSUs (and computer cases for that matter, though for now that part is still not inevitable, ATX 3.0 should fit the existing housings). I expect the new standard to not re…
-
(Quote) More power - sure, I guess. But the way it seems to be implemented - doesn't sound promising, as in "not problem-prone." If the article is correct.
-
Still suspended (LOL): https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump Nothing to see, carry on... :)
-
(Quote) I thought they be payin' you!? They ought to! :)
-
(Quote) I've tried a few other options, and in terms of uptime no one was better (so far), while regarding performance, Brixly was just a tad better (but had some other hiccups so it's not a good match for me). Tried even some more expensive option…
-
(Quote) I'm interested in finding a good alternative. DirectAdmin reseller hosting, preferably UK, or US-East coast location.

If it's of any help, this is my advertising and guest-posting policy: https://bike.bikegremlin.com/links-to-your-website-and-advertising/ It's allowed me to remain as independent and as objective as possible, without preventing me from accepting an…

Our local cycling forum has a "points" system (pluses, like likes). A vast majority of people with a lot of points are long-time members, knowledgeable and experienced. For new members, I suppose it gives some idea when asking for help o…
