i switched my bookmarks site from espial (unmaintained project) to linkding, and while i’ll miss espial’s simplicity, i do appreciate linkding’s power and the provided API.

at first i got auth working with my SSO (authelia) and was happy, but i want my public bookmarks available without login… and i couldn’t configure my proxy to make that work, because of issues with sub paths, which sucks. so i switched to linkding’s built-in auth. inconvenient, but worth it to share my bookmarks.

↳ In-reply-to » We had sun, clouds, wind, rain and a whole lot of fun on our trip to the Wasserberg. We've been out seven hours in total, not bad at all for all those kilometers. We added on some detours to check out a pond I've been introduced by a mate a few years back.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org sooo pretty! sucks about the dead end tho

↳ In-reply-to » i recorded and posted another vlog yesterday :] https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=UNwsVI9yp

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s alright haha! i don’t expect anyone to listen/watch in full or with full attention bc it’s so long lmao

the thing with PHP for me is that i… feel like it hits a kind of simplicity that i can understand? it’s so plain but can be very powerful. i quite like that. as much as i can learn something infinitely more powerful, PHP hits a comfortable thing where i can handle things like backend sqlite DBs AND how a page is rendered, without requiring a complex frontend with its own quirks (like ruby on rails, which as much as i know and love it, can be heavy).

but i totally get you! PHP security is very scary. i’m always worried that i’m messing something up. it’s why the PHP application i’m working on i have dockerized by default for a small but extra layer of protection

i’ll try to not get discouraged tysm for your advice

↳ In-reply-to » (#dwvxbsq) @kat I was about to say that you can always just buy one, but apparently that’s not so easy anymore?! What the heck happened? 🤨 There used to be several shops here in Germany that sold a variety of Tux plushies, but none of that exists anymore … 😳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org those tuxes are kinda cute but not what i’m looking for! i want a silly stupid looking tux the most lol

i got so emo about my site not being statically generated and instead hand coded but it’s like i don’t even know if i want that because i feel most SSGs are built for blogging and continuous posting and i don’t want that i just want to make my silly pages….

that being said, the one i’d use if i did switch to one would be astro and that one is so flexible i could really do anything with it including keeping my pages as is mostly without doing the blog stuff. idk! something to consider

↳ In-reply-to » Also spent the morning continuing to think about a new design for EdgeGuard's WAF. I'm basically going to build an entirely new pluggable WAF that will be designed to only consider Rate Limiting, IP/ASN-based filtering, JavaScript challenge handling, Basic behavioral analysis and Anomaly detection.

@prologic@twtxt.net anubis is THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

↳ In-reply-to » i started a little thing on my dreamwidth and called it a flash prompt box. basically it's a limited time thing where people can prompt me for stuff i'm offering, like short fanfiction, photoshop-edited user icons, music recs, and a bit more! i'm having sooo much fun with it so far it's been a blast just making stuff for friends :)

@prologic@twtxt.net ah that’s alright! the banner is just for fun :] it might be easier to skip to the comments with this link if you want (it’s in the site view mode rather than my page’s theme) https://luckyzukky.dreamwidth.org/98451.html?style=site#comments

@prologic@twtxt.net noted! that all sounds very scary to me but i should lock in for the best experience for my users! (the best experience for my users is my server not crashing most of the time though so i guess the next best experience LOL)

↳ In-reply-to » Nobody want to be a shitty programmer. The question is: Do you do anything not to not be one? Reading blogs or social media and watching YouTube videos is fun. After them, your code may be a little better, of course. But you need a lot. You need to study! Read good books and study the code of other programmers, for example. Maybe work with a new language, architectures and paradigms. You need break the routine.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev@andros@twtxt.andros.dev i know MVC but i don’t know model view view model what does this mean…. i am learning PHP (and a tiny bit of perl scripting) as a mainly ruby girl so mayhaps i am improving but my focus is SERVERS
