Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Kbin.
After X attempts to log in, it bans the IP address.
It will scan your wordpress files and alert you if any of them have changed in suspicious ways (hacked).
It can disable the xml-rpc endpoint which is rarely used and is a big vector for hacking.
… and a lot more but those are the main ones for me.
The WordFence plugin is a must-have for security.
If you use Caddy instead of Apache then you get SSL automatically. You’ll need php-fpm as well, tho.
Parallel federation sending is a big deal because it’ll mean servers can be physically located further away from lemmy.world (once lemmy.world upgrades, which could be a while).
I’ve had a Tidal subscription for about a year. It’s recommendation algo is way way better than Spotify and there are none of those spammy 1 minute tracks that Spotify has because ‘artists’ have gamed the system.
They don’t have a Linux app but the PWA works fine. Minimize the window to reduce CPU usage (I know that sounds crazy but it actually works).
ok so the monkeys need to type faster
I’ve been learning docker over the last few weeks and it’s been very helpful for writing and debugging docker-compose configs. My server how has 9 different services running on it.
I use it for python development sometimes, maybe once per day. I’ll paste in a chunk of code and describe how I want it altered or fixed and that usually goes pretty well. Or if I need a generic function that I know will have been coded a million times before I’ll just ask ChatGPT for it.
It’s far from “useless” and has made me somewhat more productive. I can’t see it replacing anyone’s job though, more of a supplemental tool that increases output.
Sorry! I’ve updated my links now.
I tried it myself (changing the name and changing the values) but lost interest after 3 attempts and always getting the right answer:

Wake me up when they implement FEP 1b12.
Really great tool, thanks! A few questions…
In the commands, will {instance} always be rss.ponder.cat?
Is the full process:
Or do you make the communities and then we add feeds to them?
Does each message need to have only one command?
We’re working on it :)
Half of them use their real name. Also a lot of them are sharing links to content they’ve posted using their personal FB account or whatever. They don’t even try to have any opsec because they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong.
All this talk of encryption and sopenas is mostly pointless - all the police need to do is join any of the Telegram channels and see the evidence for themselves, like in this case - https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350438242/man-who-wanted-build-gallows-hear-jacinda-arderns-neck-snap-guilty-threats-kill
No doubt there are private channels but there’s absolutely no shortage of criminal stuff happening out in the open.
You could try to find an open source project to contribute to? That’ll get give you a nice big codebase to grapple with.
Middle Eastern money
Something tells me the Saudis don’t want AI for the betterment of all humanity.
Could be the human rights abuses, dunno.
I appreciate the author taking a swing at this topic. She suggests these values:
fostering genuine connection
protecting privacy and enforcing consent
championing accessibility
I think she’s obviously right about the first value but the others are less clear. There’s certainly groups on Mastodon who are keen on privacy, consent and accessibility but if you look at the features of the apps and how they’re constructed I don’t feel like those are really core values. ActivityPub is a privacy nightmare and most apps have between ghastly to ok accessibility.
It’s hard to pick out values that we all share because of the inherently chaotic nature of it. Perhaps that’s a value tho - diversity.
There’s a pretty strong anti-capitalist theme that comes up a lot. At it’s best, this is a “people before economy” value, a pro-democracy, a pro-life (in the literal sense), pro-freedom value. No billionaire can buy the fediverse and shape it in their singular vision.
The federated nature of things means people can find their own instance to call home, one that suits them and their kin without losing access to all the goodies of the wider network. Is this a value? What is the word for it? Self-actualization?
Ehh, it’s ok in the case of JetBrains - if your subscription lapses your license converts to a ‘perpetual fallback license’ so can just continue using the version you installed when the subscription was originally purchased.
I’m using a 4 year old version of PhpStorm with no issues and no subscription. My PyCharm sub ended 6 months ago and I’m staying on the 2023 version of PyCharm because the latest version comes with lots of AI which makes my CPU fans scream continuously.
