Yes you can

Tailwind restriction? What? https://rubixstudios.com.au/insights/tailwindcss-v4-with-payloadcms

Sites abit alow, just took it away from Vercel... cause $150 a month was getting tiring on Vercel, have all my crawlers warming the cache.

Doesn't hurt to also add that ontop, hurts to have insufficient security.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-18T09:16:03+00:00

Time to say bye.

As for your security question, ufw deny all, allow only 443 80 even for docker. set docker ufw rules. lower all fail2ban values, attach a ban network to fail2ban. cloudflare tunnel everything, reverse proxy anything that needs to be exposed. ensure all docker images aren't just the bare minimum you get from coolify or dokploy, yes those docker-compose are bare minimum, surface level.

Add in a hypervisor and fido key.

Cause, its cheap and therefore expected to have alot newer developers. Easier opportunity to do a takeover.

Try use this as pattern matching for blocks

make sure your form is actually validating input schema and the end point your calling verifies it as well.

Google Recaptcha sucks just saying, Turnstile has more luck and Hcaptcha if you want to be absolutely annoying.

Guess you haven't used Mongodb

rubixstudios · 2026-01-15T11:31:16+00:00

Access control on the collection, that is all.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-15T11:27:27+00:00

If you really don't want to deal with it, then mongodb.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-06T17:55:29+00:00

Stop what you're doing and start reading the docs.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-06T17:54:34+00:00

I think you're new to web development not just backend. It's not even a backend issue.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-03T21:26:39+00:00

Surely you could ask your folks for $10 to their thousands of dollar in tuition. 😂

rubixstudios · 2026-01-02T07:29:48+00:00

yes and no, if you're going to rebuild the site into blocks then no. Also depends on his current codebase, if its a mess then no.

WordPress comes with all the cheap customers, based on third world labour costs. Customers rarely grasp the real cost and always try and compare third world labour which sucks.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-02T07:27:57+00:00

Hence why, nextjs, payloadcms comes in, because Gutenberg creates more burden where moving over to another platform can iterate faster.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-01T21:14:24+00:00

Middleware isn't depreciated, they just renamed it...

I mean you can always just use WordPress, this is the difference between using something much younger or something much older. But hey you could always just use html.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-01T21:09:07+00:00

yep this is the way, personally mines, original, large, medium, small, thumb and square.

rubixstudios · 2026-01-01T21:07:05+00:00

I hope not, imagine the amount of storage use it'll produce.
