After X attempts to log in, it bans the IP address.
It will scan your wordpress files and alert you if any of them have changed in suspicious ways (hacked).
It can disable the xml-rpc endpoint which is rarely used and is a big vector for hacking.
... and a lot more but those are the main ones for me.
The WordFence plugin is a must-have for security.
If you use Caddy instead of Apache then you get SSL automatically. You'll need php-fpm as well, tho.
Being registered "as a republican/democrat" is weird.
Electoral college is weird AF
One party trying to stop people voting is weird.
Queuing for hours to vote is weird.
Purging voter rolls is weird.
Rallies are weird.
Townhalls are weird.
Flags everywhere is weird.
The orange one is super weird.
I've had a Tidal subscription for about a year. It's recommendation algo is way way better than Spotify and there are none of those spammy 1 minute tracks that Spotify has because 'artists' have gamed the system.
They don't have a Linux app but the PWA works fine. Minimize the window to reduce CPU usage (I know that sounds crazy but it actually works).
ok so the monkeys need to type faster
Anytime someone says "it has to be that way because that's how federation works" they're wrong. It can be however we want it to be, it's just a choice.
Ahh yes, the walled garden trap.
I self-host a copy of FreshRSS which does most of those things. No Android app but the PWA works.
Whether you can read the full text in the app or not usually depends on whether the source provides a feed with the full text in it - changing your reader app won't make much difference.
I subscribe to ~100 feeds but I have no idea what you're into so dumping the list on you won't help.
Instead, check out these directories that list RSS feeds by topic:
TikTok quantified the precise amount of viewing it takes for someone to form a habit: 260 videos.
Kentucky authorities note that while it might seem a lot, TikTok videos can be just a few seconds long.
“Thus, in under 35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the platform,” the state investigators concluded.

Most women could not open their own bank accounts or have credit cards until the 1970's. That's just about within the lifetimes of nearly half the people here.
I've been learning docker over the last few weeks and it's been very helpful for writing and debugging docker-compose configs. My server how has 9 different services running on it.
I use it for python development sometimes, maybe once per day. I'll paste in a chunk of code and describe how I want it altered or fixed and that usually goes pretty well. Or if I need a generic function that I know will have been coded a million times before I'll just ask ChatGPT for it.
It's far from "useless" and has made me somewhat more productive. I can't see it replacing anyone's job though, more of a supplemental tool that increases output.

Tony Illes was working as an Uber Eats delivery person when an ordinance passed last year by the Seattle City Council came into effect in mid-January. The new rule required app companies to pay workers like Illes a minimum wage based on the miles they travel and the minutes they spend on the job. The apps say that this amounts to around $26 an hour, and both Uber Eats and DoorDash responded by adding $5 fees to every order (even when the customer is outside Seattle city limits) while calling for the law to be repealed. According to a recent DoorDash blog post, the ordinance has resulted in an “unprecedented drop in order volume,” a drop that Illes felt personally. He told Geekwire that “demand is dead” and told local TV station KIRO 7, “I didn’t get an order for like six hours and I was done.”
So Illes had an idea: Who needs these apps, anyway? He printed up signs with QR codes directing people to a bare-bones website with his phone number, promising that he would deliver food by bike in Uptown, South Lake Union, Belltown, and a chunk of the downtown core for $5 a pop from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily. All you had to do was order the food and send him the screenshot. He called himself “Tony Delivers.”
Ehh, it's ok in the case of JetBrains - if your subscription lapses your license converts to a 'perpetual fallback license' so can just continue using the version you installed when the subscription was originally purchased.
I'm using a 4 year old version of PhpStorm with no issues and no subscription. My PyCharm sub ended 6 months ago and I'm staying on the 2023 version of PyCharm because the latest version comes with lots of AI which makes my CPU fans scream continuously.
