I don't think Wordpress and VIP belong in the same sentence. There are vastly superior PHP CMS's such as Grav or OctoberCMS that don't make PHP look like a garbage language.

I think you have to trust your security software, and if it's not open source, you can't trust it.

I tried installing this on two different Ubuntu machines using their Ubuntu repo and it did not work. Worked fine on both Android and Ios. This is about what I expect from a java application - the java ecosystem is co convoluted and fragile that the only real options are Android, Ios, and Docker. I wish someone would write something like this in Go or Rust.

OpenSCAD is much better for me than F-360, but then again I'm a coder.

You're right, the quality of Gimp is nowhere near Photoshop. Photoshop has tons of rounding errors and the results never look as good as Gimp.

Yes, ZFS snapshots only contain data that changed. ZFS is very efficient, elegant, and reliable.

I don't understand why this project is accepted into GNU. They can cite their $10K fee in their forced EULA where the sun does not shine.

I laugh at anyone using Microsoft software or products.

This is just a fork of Typhoon. Is anything even different?

I find the UX on a Mac to be vastly inferior to Mate or Cinnamon on Linux. The first thing I do when an employer gives me a Macbook is to install Linux on it so I have an usable UI.

Yaml is beautiful and easy, this looks like a nightmare.

corwin7 | 7 years ago | on: Stripe open-sources Skycfg, a configuration builder for Kubernetes

If you can't edit a yaml (or HCL) file, you shouldn't be using Kubernetes / Terraform. All these "you too can be an artist, just draw inside the lines of this coloring book" configuration systems (ie helm) are just distracting people from doing things the right way.

Grav is in use on many production sites and their support is amazing. When I run into an issue they resolve it like I'm on a paid contract. I have a shared environment with one grav install and a dozen sites which is not a normal install. Here's a really simple blog: https://www.sendthemtomir.com/

corwin7 | 7 years ago | on: I kill every VPS I touch

I tried ordering the SSDNodes 24GB $10 month server to replace my 2GB Linode server. Appears to be a scam as they immediately canceled the order after I put in my credit card. I'll probably have another $6,000 Rite Aid purchase on my card next month....

Thanks for working on fixing it!

Great, when you register you get an email with a link to register again.

How do you install openntpd at all? It's not in pkg or ports:

╰─ pkg install openntpd Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date. pkg: No packages available to install matching 'openntpd' have been found in the repositories

╰─ cd /usr/ports/sysutils/openntpd cd: no such file or directory: /usr/ports/sysutils/openntpd
