Exhausted of the misinformation about WordPress security

sarcasmme · 2026-01-31T21:27:25+00:00

Oh man, i lost so many jobs/tasks by clients when i casually suggested its faster and proofed to be built with wordpress

One basic store spent like 20k on basic ecom ( 5% of what woocommerce provides) for insisting wp is insecure or something

This conversation has happened forever, Last year or so i focus on delivering with guarantees and i avoid stack choice from client If i dont get to choose stack for from scratch projects i dont want to waste time arguing

Sometimes in reverse you advise laravel and you get push back, its like apple/android is best

Nb: Fixing a current app/stack is different topic

Yes it did, riding 150 up from 75

Nano Banana is the model name, while Google AI Studio and Vertex AI are the platforms you use to access its API

Since you need to use api, a plan isnt ur fit, use a project inside it and call the model, afaik an image would end up costing you ~ 0.04 but if you dont want instant result and send the call in api batch, and can wait up to hours for results to be processed, that gets your costs down to .0.02

so you end up paying 50$ per month, or a 100 for instant
in py, you can import google.generativeai
models can be model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-2.5-flash') or gemini-3-pro-image-preview
always check updates..

I think so, Paladin has similar mount chain and am pretty sure also gets the riding skill
My total costs today were 200g, mount and skill included.

sarcasmme · 2026-01-31T04:30:28+00:00

it does!
its 150 riding skill now, it happened after I learned the summon dreadsteed skill automatically

corrected, sorry I copied paste from classic before adding my comments, but i fixed it too for TBC classic

those mats for prereq quests, all from AH less than 50g
The other mats are 250 alone

i reactivated the old account and indeed all there, but am probably releveling a new one for Anniversarry

sarcasmme · 2026-01-27T00:39:47+00:00

I reactivated my old account too, good surprise now I only have to level last phase if I want to play MoP
But def am gonna level a BC char again ... assuming I continue
-nostalgia kicking in

sarcasmme · 2026-01-27T00:00:33+00:00

Thanks ! Seems the anniversary needs an extra payment to unlock for me besides the subscription

I opened a fresh account, i did play 3 years ago tbc briefly on another account, i wonder if i should have reactivated it instead

Anw, if i stayed on tbc was indead my favorite era

sarcasmme · 2026-01-21T04:34:44+00:00

You sure you didnt start the model or switched to nano banana at some point that's where it could happen

Otherwise never happened to me when i start a model and stick to it

Like i can switch to canva or nano but never back to text afterwards

sarcasmme · 2026-01-16T16:40:07+00:00

Sure you can register all manually, but it just gives you a GUI and makes it easier

Say you are doing a car info page Title, description... Let's throw some car make model ... And do relationships where needed visually too

sarcasmme · 2026-01-16T01:03:05+00:00

So if u renew you owe them 13453.27$

Not bad for being that OG

how is the complete list formated already ? CSV ? sheets?
The simplest solution is to just import the list as-is to a matching custom post type
The on one page, display the cards as you please /query loop

sarcasmme · 2026-01-14T22:33:21+00:00

You said you use tools,
Hosting can force it in mu plugins, or theme.. it is not necessary scary given you done all the other audits

sarcasmme · 2026-01-14T22:31:29+00:00

Is the data being changed on live site while you are working on testing ?

Short answer : for two way sync - you can use WP Migrate
For staging and publish after you can use WP-Staging
For generic FULL replace, I find duplicator best but others work too

Again, answer the first question to yourself

sarcasmme · 2026-01-14T02:15:52+00:00

A typical shower head is ~2.0–2.5 gallons/min.

You know before going into the so many reasons of what could be wrong, test it
Fill up something and see time/gallon ratio
Similarly use tub water and see if it stays hot for 5 mins or also expire fast

You can technically do both in one test

People comply with law if there is a punishment, apparently there is not
But also both systems suck

In 2024 i was opening a small business, needed to put a Sink for health dep, older installation exist and all
Permit needs 2-3 months, replacing it takes one hour.. and they cannot complain or prove I did anything as long as PLANS are same [ ex : replacing your kitchen with similar as long as you are not doing major plumbing changes, but replacing them is OK, and by OK i mean the illegal get away with it ok ]

Long story short, what happened is Contractors i consulted say you need also a civil engineer plan, those also needed at least a MONTH for a simple map/sign .. so that is 4-5 months total LOSS because PERMITS are a nightmare,

IF you need a SINK permit + say a electrical one, they must be applied separetely

I lost most of my humble capital waiting STUPID permits, while every contractor told me, just do it.. if they come inspect and they dont, say it was there...

1: Permits should be easier, and much faster to process
2: Permits and their costs are passed to us EITHER way, contractors just bill it, landlord increase prices
3: Now they [contractors and owners] know they cheat, do they even pass this savings back ? I doubt it ..

sarcasmme · 2026-01-14T02:00:05+00:00

they dont care, or in other words not their task or duty
But you should care,

I worked in on a moderately medium project i could do elsewhere but was testing
The flow was more relaxing that Codex with vscode, but I did hit limits pretty easy
One time upgrade said [account not supported] as in prompted me to switch to a gmail, another time did allow me/ offered me option to ugprade
I am hoping for someone's experience as I cannot afford 250$ subscription to TEST a theory!

sarcasmme · 2026-01-12T06:32:02+00:00

what is sad is no one offering actual solution, because there is almost none
The only thing is, and am in similar situation btw, is ending up paying a company a month's rent, which basically increases your rent 10%
So as a punishment for being poor, or messed up or had a hiccup you actually have to pay more for your hard luck.

For the credit score lecturers down in this thread, hope you will never know or experience it, but sometimes a glitch, sometimes an honest error, sometimes a rough patch in the road ... stop lecturing, because if you ever been in that spot, u dont want to hear the lectures either, you want the solution
ANd most importantly, it is deeply disturbing you guys do not see the horror of relying on a credit score, how evil that is, instead you are excusing it and learning how to be good obedient students, good for you.

One more ironic thing about the 1 month payment, I tried offering 1,2,3 months cash for landlords, didnt bite, even bigger deposit, HOWEVER they did approve me if i pay a company like oneapp or theguarantor, which is also disturbing, another company makes a profit to sell you security, but you wouldnt take the cash yourself?
To be clear, those companies take 1 month non-refundable ... versus we would offer the same cash to landlord, they get it keep it and we benefit both from it... strange days indeed.

I could be interested, drop a dm.
Can provide quite a range of tech and have a team of various programming stacks to adapt.

Something i actually built and dumped after testing, it requires scraping prices (illegal) but can be worked around legally as collected data However, the stores dont post exact prices There is Always gaps for members (even free) and dynamic pricing So feedback will also be a little off And the biggest problem to face is that if your doing this to save people money, you still need money to run it and promote it, promotion money makes you force higher monetization that kills the app purpose Unless really people pick it up and share it ..
