It's not that my random taps aren't doing anything, it's that I have no idea what I'm doing.

Seems like a great way to create a puzzle or clue in a website with a secret QR code. Also pretty.

Our @astro.build production builds just went from 1m 26s to 46s with the migration to Astro v7 and Sätteri. More importantly, local builds on my laptop <10s and the dev server feels so much less laggy. Congrats on the release and big gains.

I still think back to that time when I was included in a mass email and NOBODY replied all. Another reason the folks who speak at @cascadiajs.com are great.

Sometimes you get to walk away from the keyboard and fix windows. New flashing, new casing. Hopefully less drafty and more water proof (luckily haven't had issues).
Window with no casing trim. Fully flashed. Same window as other but full casing trim installed

I had an idea for a little recipe app. Thought of a clever name even. Turns out it was such a good idea someone had already built the app and they even used my name! 😂 www.justtherecipe.com

A free tool to get just the ingredients and instructions for any recipe page. No life story, popups, or other clutter.

Interestingly, this seems to be a quirk of "User Role Editor". "Members" Enabled this just fine. That's a shame, cause I prefer the former.

@tna.sh Re: I like your idea of allowing an editor account to "Switch To" admin. I'm solo on my blog. However, simply giving "edit_user" doesn't work cause editors can't list admin users even with "list_users" permissions. What am I missing?

@tna.sh Heads up, Welcome and MFA lessons don't have video controls. And the link to "Temporary Users" 404s, and I had to go to /lessons to find the correct link.

@tna.sh In your session management video, you mention "Tame Login Sessions" a lot and seem to imply we could use it...But there's no link in resources, and I can't find it anywhere via Google. Is that available somewhere?

Alex Moon @moonmeister.net · 07/08/2025
@tna.sh Working through the security course. You mentioned length over complexity for passwords and that users might repeat characters. Despite my searching, I couldn't find a WP password complexity plugin that had a rule for "no repeated characters more than X times". Do you know of any?

It is. I was having an issue with NPM not respecting package manager fields and fell down the GH issues rabbit hole. Found an npm maintainer ranting against how corepack was terrible and npm wouldn't have to support it. He couldn't give a single non hand wave reason. This doesn't surprise me.
