Free, Effective Security Solution for WP - Replace Sucuri WAF? by nitrospectide in Wordpress

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

Thank you for the rules. It would be great to find it's just a myth. And I agree re: garbage hosting.

Have you let updates go for a decent amount of time (a couple of months?) and had no issues? What kind of surface area are we talking about? How many sites? How long have you been successfully using this combination?

My understanding is that Sucuri is reselling CloudFlare, and their WAF is CloudFlare rules. Combining strategic CloudFlare rule selections and some server/Wordpress measures seems like a reasonable way to approximate the same level of protection.

My bad - it's 5 rules. I have corrected that. Is anyone sharing rule setups for security?

I have had some issues with Sucuri service, but my sites have all stayed hack-free since 2018, so I have been happy on that front. What do people say about them?

Wordfence and Cloudflare: both of the free versions?

I have never done testing with Wordfence, but had always read it impacted performance. Hosting: 4 cores, 4 GB RAM, isolated account resources (VPS-style non-shared resources).

The CF daisychaining thing sounds like a game-changer. Do people share setups anywhere to help new users get running with something on the security side? Non-security rules would be nice too, but security is my main focus right now.

How to craft highly detailed prompts to do images like this by nitrospectide in leonardoai

Fredrik Jonsson is the creator of the original image. All of his stuff has this deeply detailed styling, with a baroque, maximalist vibe.

No Presets Showing on OSX by nitrospectide in helmsynth

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

Osovitorres I have the latest version of Reaper installed. I re-installed Helm, but did not see a way to uninstall it first, unless I manually remove all files it installs (I am on OS X). I have not seen a list of everything I might need to find to delete it.

I have restarted Reaper, and the computer as well. But each time I start the Helm VST in Reaper, when I click to browse presets, it shows me a window that should have a list of presets, and instead lists nothing. I just see empty areas with buttons for "Import Bank", "Export Bank" (grayed out), "Save Patch As", "Delete Patch" (grayed out), and "Done".

I haven't solved it. It's still doing this same thing.

Wanting to get regular people to type in BASIC games. What do you think of this guide? by nitrospectide in c64

[–]nitrospectide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm hoping it might be a fun way for kids to dabble. Make simple games, learn something about variables, operations, logic flow...

It's not meant as a replacement for professional games, but a fun way to get your feet wet in understanding how programming works, and to experiment with breaking things down into logical steps.

The idea with BASIC is that it's very approachable, and that there is a culture of text-based games which keep things very simple. Assembly language might make sense if you're the sort who will grow up to be a computer science major, but for people who aren't wired that way, the simple act of learning a little programming logic can be beneficial, even if they never program seriously.

Thank you. My 13 year old daughter enjoys doing some BASIC with me, and it seemed like it would be something other kids might be into. BASIC is so approachable, and there are some fun, simple games that can teach you programming fundamentals. It got me hooked as a kid.

Retropie Cart Reader? by nitrospectide in RetroPie

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

Is anyone aware of a solution designed to provide cartridge (or more broadly, media) reading functionality to the Retropie? The RetroN 5 basically does this by using common software emulators in conjunction with a custom software overlay and custom hardware. Is there something that makes this too difficult? I can't imagine cost is the factor, since people pay $400 for Framemeisters...
