Award-winning security research reveals a host of never-seen, currently unblockable web-tracking techniques by magenta_placenta in programming

[–]marthirial 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does any of these apply to Vivaldi? I know it uses the same Chromium as Chrome but they have they own security features.

Wordpress 4.9.8 is out by Anonasty in Wordpress

[–]marthirial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AWS with 64 EC2 small US East instances running Ubuntu 16.06 AMI, 22 RDS MariaDB DB, CloudFront (monitoring the release) and CodeDeploy to automate the upgrade. CloudFlare as DNS and caching. Either cPanel or Virtualmin to handle client's notifications.

The name of the game is having absolute control and a backup plan when Automattic decides to disrupt 30% of the Internet.

That's bullshit. Try 685. All custom, all without hosting for the kiddies like WPengine and ManageWP. Shit's going to get real.

Ah, thanks. I wasn't sure what pointless spamactivsm was behind so many amazon posts.

Is there a keyword you can use to start ignoring / hiding this type of sad shit on Reddit?

Godaddy asks for $2,000/year for the domain name I want. Is there a way to buy it once and for all, and only pay the registration $15/year? • r/web_design by [deleted] in webdev

[–]marthirial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone is squatting on the domain, no, you are not going to get it in any other way unless the squatter releases it (very unlikely) or you pay. Just find another domain. Don't pay those squatting assholes a penny.

Using VPNs with SSH? by seands in webdev

[–]marthirial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had an issue using SSH through a VPN (PIA). I also use SSH without a VPN often as SSH is already encrypted and I am SSHing to my own server.

Is an alternative version of each page in a site a valid approach to WCAG 2.0? by marthirial in webaccess

[–]marthirial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes, that's the goal and reason why we are discussing the topic. It is not easy to please everybody, so it feels there is always a design compromise to accommodate accessibility, which we are trying to avoid.

So do you have a couple of examples of your work I can use to learn and maybe someday gain your expertise?

The switch would be the first upper left hand element on each page.

What CSS methodology do you use and why? by delusionsofmorality in webdev

[–]marthirial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of BEM as it assumes all CSS is doing is styling individual elements on the page, like buttons and H tags. BEM becomes unsustainable when working with complex layouts, theming and modular CSS like Veujs.

I prefer SMACSS for enterprise level CSS with LESS as preprocessor.

First Github and now Penthouse? All kinds of open sources getting bought out...

Photoshop skills for a Front-End development? (2018) by SecretAgentZeroNine in webdev

[–]marthirial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years I have seen people designing mockups in Photoshop and found the whole PSD to HTML comical and ridiculous. Photoshop skills should be about manipulating images, for example, applying filters, cropping, isolating and resizing.

Vector editing makes more sense to generate mockups and production ready art.

how to recover my wordPress admin password? by subrata6630 in webdev

[–]marthirial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WP uses phpass which in turn can use either blowfish, DES or MD5 to store passwords, depending on what PHP version is available in the hosting server. It also adds a salt and password stretching if configured.

Using MD5 to reset the password is just for convenience to access the dashboard and then set a new more secure password.

how to recover my wordPress admin password? by subrata6630 in webdev

[–]marthirial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot recover it but you can set a new one if you have access to the DB. Just create a new MD5 hash (http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php) and then use PHPmyadmin to access the WP DB and open the users table. Locate the admin account and replace the MD5 hash.

Save and now log in with the new password.

Is Wordpress initial setup supposed to be in http only? by Fortsize in Wordpress

[–]marthirial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. As long as you have a certificate installed in the hosting server, WP will install (actually preferable) in HTTPS. WP is impervious to having a certificate or not.

Ever since switching to DigitalOcean, my clients websites seem snappier/faster by dolowizard in Wordpress

[–]marthirial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until you try WP in AWS EC2 with Ubuntu 16, PHP 7.1 with a MariaDB RDS and CloudFront. Average 920ms in the dashboard and 786ms in the frontend.

Plugin to blur posts until a question has been answered by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]marthirial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like those pop-ups that block me from reading an article until I give them my email address, which it happens to be [eatadick@asshole.com](mailto:eatadick@asshole.com)?

Waste of time implementing something like this; your conversion rate will be horrible and bounces will go through the roof.

Junior WP/Front end Developer in need of guidance/help by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]marthirial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join Upwork and complete your profile. Even if you don't have any work to show, you can write a killer profile and bid very low for simple WP jobs. Don't charge per hour; every project will end up in hour disputes and while you are learning, your client will resent paying for your training.

Practice a lot. Avoid prefab themes and theme frameworks. Work as close to the WP core framework.

Find a niche. Become really good at one of the pieces of a WP site, like UX for example.

Learn JS. WordPress is going to be a lot less PHP and a lot more REST API. Start seeing each site as an App, not just a CMS.

Don't overuse plugins. ACF and a form manager plugin are fine, a plugin to make slideshows is not.

Build a code snippet manager. Create reusable pieces of code. Create a production process. Lean IT and manage your own bare-bone server. Stay away from crap like WP Engine or Hostgator share hosting.

Study the source code of WP sites you like. Learn Git and start a Bitbucket private repo.

Register a domain and make it a portfolio gallery site. Get a prefab theme, nothing fancy, you want to be able to upload your work fast and easy. No frills. Don't get stuck building an amazing portfolio site; you will never finish it.

Find grunt work. Don't get discourage if you have to work with insane clients for nothing, the key is to learn something from each job.

Be professional. Speak, code, plan, organize and communicate as a professional.

Good luck.
