                (Quote) The tech. support is still claiming it's just a temporary glitch. The most recent "jewel" was a suggestion to "try without a VPN if you are using one" - as if my Net connection has anything to do with hosted WordPress up…

                (Quote) I've been using it for years. I did save all the info, including the original download link (which used to work). Now it no longer works. (Image)

                Seems like they've decided to not honour the lifetime. Tech. support says it's all good - but I still get those errors and can't update. Frustrating. Google says I'm far from the only one. (Image) It is also worth noting that newer versions won…

                (Quote) Should I send Rocky and Knuckles over?

                (Quote) IMO it would make more sense to move it to a normal theme under the WordPress section - and act differently if we do run into any problems.

                (Quote) Yup. bikegremlin.com was first registered with 1-and-1 for $1 for the first year (then I read the terms, saw the renewal price, and moved it in time to Namecheap, and a few years after that to Porkbun). Hosting was first with a suspiciously…

                (Quote) Sums it up well - though my eye starts twitching when I hear "Bluehost" - LOL :)

                For some things I'm 10 years ahead of my time, for others just a month or so LOL :) https://blog.cloudflare.com/from-googlebot-to-gptbot-whos-crawling-your-site-in-2025/

                (Quote) Yup - if you aren't selling anything, people have zero reasons to open any of your pages - Google gives the regurgitated (copy/pasted) text from your site. "The Great Decoupling": (Image) * Top (purple) line is the number of tim…

                (Quote) A rare photo of the headquarters of the company that pays for such traffic (and fails to filter it or punish any such deliberate abuse): (Image) :)

                (Quote) Worst example is a friend's forum (his problem urged me to edit my original article and start this thread). 800 different IP addresses in a 5-minute time frame, bots/crawlers, browsing pages. Putting a huge load on the VPS' CPU - to the poin…

                (Quote) Yup - caching does make a huge difference (sometimes I miss the good old static HTML stuff :) ).

                (Quote) Cloudflare Turnstile works a lot better than captchas for the registration fields and similar (unless you are refering to that when mentioning Cloudflare captchas). Caching pages for non-logged in users can make a huge difference (without t…

                That word: "research" - it used to mean something.

                (Quote) Never - that is the interesting part.

                (Quote) Sigh. We are too poor... or the tech. is too young still - whichever way of putting it makes you feel better. :) On a 4-core VPS, especially the real VPS (not the "semi-dedicated" VPS), you will get crappy performance, even with …

                (Quote) I fear the Emperor forbids such malpractice... beside the fact that Silica Animus itself is an abomination! Jokes aside: LLMs can work on CPU alone, but you should use a "lighter" model - and performance will still be pretty bad. …

                (Quote) Not my problem - but anyone trying to find info in the future might get stuck. (Quote) First comes to mind - the tools at hand (when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail LOL): AnythingLLM: Workspace settings -> Agent c…

                (Quote) Hmm. I don't use that a lot, and my PC is quite energy-efficient for its power (that was how I picked components). Will see when the time comes, but I don't expect huge electricity bills (my UPS keeps a track of my PC's power usage).
