And the new, soon to be "obligatory" (the "Paper lantern" is being deprecated), "Ur-anus..." erm, I mean "Jupiter" theme for the cPanel! (Image)

(Quote) For private YouTube videos, you have to manually add emails for every person authorized to view them. For unlisted YouTube videos, anyone can share a link and see them, even though the videos aren't listed (aren't visible) on the channel. I…

(Quote) Odysee (my channel) Allegedly free, open-source, censorship-free yada-yada-yada. My guess is: if it ever gains popularity, things will change drastically, very rapidly.

(Quote) Many people today think their filming wonders must be shown in 4K resolution. No reasonable explanation I can think of, but there you have it.

How can one not simply adore capitalism? :)

(Quote) I don't like ads bothering me at any time. On my website(s), I place ads manually, in areas around the content (sideline, bottom, top - before the articles). And, since I often use those sites as a reference, I make a point of using them wi…

As a creator of (highly questionable quality) YouTube content, I prefer getting some income from the ads or premium accounts. As a viewer, I prefer watching for free without any ads. Contradictions. :)

Hydro destroys eco-systems (rising the level of underground waters, and altering river eco-systems). Solar requires huge areas covered in those plates, along with a ton of batteries to store it during the night. Wind also requires huge areas covered…

That works as intended. Out of shear sportsmanship, to not put the high-end providers completely out of business, the low-end providers stage regular downtimes, late support ticket replies and once a month they get completely wasted while sorting t…

(Quote) Not 100% sure what you mean. "Plugged" as in "censored?" They listed some popular plugins that have problems. They noted the problems are fixed with patches (so no false alarms for the users who have updated, that's fair…

On the bright side, from what I could tell, the problems were fixed with updates. :)

(Quote) (Image) Sorry, couldn't resist. :) On a more serious note - it is an industry trend worth noting. Here's another example - Ocean WP + Cloudways: https://oceanwp.org/blog/partnering-with-cloudways/ Also, in terms of time ~ money, as @Mi…

Yes, as @Ympker and @willie have noted above, it's about making money, of course, with questionable benefits for an average LES member. Of course, being WordPress-related, it's good that @vyas shared the info here. This looks like an industry-wide…

(Quote) I asked on a WP for Business FB group about this. The consensus seems to be that they've done similar things before, "with good reasons," and that it's perfectly fine. Full support. I certainly had no idea until now that they (can…
-
(Quote) Exactly.
-
Does this mean WP can also do other changes - like removing articles, and/or bringing the whole sites down if they decide it's the right thing to do? Not asking whether "they'd (never, sure) do that," but whether they can, whether they're…
-
That's not good. Is there a way of preventing WordPress from doing stuff without approval?
-
If the provider allows it, I prefer configuring backups independently from WordPress. That is, not having WordPress (try to) back itself up using yet another not really necessary plugin. Having said that, on several occasions I have used the All-in…
-
(Quote) Not sure about the legal stuff. But there are other ways to market a product (word of mouth, website articles etc.). An idea: Not sure how complicated it is to make the plugin "expandable" - to include fonts as required. Or to hav…
-
Ympker - thank you for putting in the effort and sharing. Now, for the bad and ugly - with the intent to help the improvement, not to put you down: Read about the WordPress plugin guidelines. Try to do it by the book and have the plugin in the Wo…

(Quote) Works. Cool. :) Choosing an existing box from the robot console, and clicking on "Change storage box" gets the "upgrade" done in a second after you've picked the option you want. :)
-
(Quote) A refreshing change in the light of all the prices going drastically up over the past few years (industry-wide). :) Existing storage boxes are remaining the same, or should I just give it some time? (have a 500 MB box and it still says 500…

(Quote) Yup - that app looks like it.

There used to be a Windows "app" that synced Gdrive to a local directory. I used to use it. It used to work. Haven't tried for years, so can't confirm. Not sure if it's still available.

(Quote) Had to spoil it, didn't you? :)

CDN should use the closest available server, right? So, visitors from the EU would get the content served from an EU location anyway, no? :)
-
(Quote) JetBackup doesn't seem to play very well with DirectAdmin (couldn't get it to work for off-site storage with a reseller hosting account). So I use (S)FTP, and find it to be quite convenient (prefer it to any web-browser interface). Feedbac…

As expected... German Court Rules Websites Embedding Google Fonts Violates GDPR (thehackernews .com link)

(Quote) Colour me stupid/conservative (and correct me if I'm wrong), but I prefer having someone more competent taking care of the security and similar, while I can just use the storage. Unmanaged VPS or a dedi can be cheaper in terms of money, but…
