@Ahmedmaq00 @LowLevelTweets I got tired of 404 spam, probing for weaknesses in plugins or scripts I didn't have. I wanted to block them at Cloudflare, so I built CF 404 Defender (not a product, just a tool I use), that monitors for 404's then triggers a WAF rule to block that IP: https://t.co/meViRENwvE

@DanDartsDawson @shafts180 It was odd, it showed up on my feed for some reason but then I spotted it was actually a really old mention. Hope you are doing well! One of these days I’ll come for a visit haha!

@MenAreNuts @evernote I would definitely recommend using a password management app (1Password, LastPass, NordPass, etc.) instead of Evernote, for so many reasons. But alas, to your point, I too can not log in to @evernote due to their updates today.

@cowinthevatican @ryanweather Matt, this chart is temperature anomaly, as in, difference from standard temperature, not a chart showing forecast temperatures. Basically it is showing that much of the country will be far colder than average.

There is an interesting story to tell about land conservation, forestry, global carbon markets, and lands threatened by tonight's growth on the #ShellyFire, (captured by @ALERTCalifornia . 23:00 - 7/6/24) 1/x

@elonmuskADO Yes

If you have @DisneyPlus or @Hulu with ads and have a TV-14 profile restriction, just be aware that they will be shown ads for alcohol.

@WillRBishop What a bummer, but when I saw the errors in the app... I assumed it was an API change. Sorry to hear it, you really did have a great app there.

[Dan Dawson @DanDawson]

@CentralORFire Looking good from Luna Butte!

@rpilocator I use Slack a lot with other clients/groups, so I'd prefer Slack, and they are pretty easy to build connections with.

@basecamp Can you add one more vote to the feature request allowing us to disable Pings from a project?

[Dan Dawson @DanDawson]

@RichardColosi @krampert @Seesaw Absolutely, 2FA or similar authentication method would have prevented something like this, assuming the attack was performed by using compromised passwords from other sites.

[Dan Dawson @DanDawson]

General tip you should already know: Never re-use a password on multiple websites. One website gets hacked, they now have access to all other sites where you used the same password. As evidenced by the @Seesaw "hack" today. 1) Get a good password manager 2) Learn about security

[Dan Dawson @DanDawson]

@rrnstrd @Seesaw It appears the weakness was in the user's passwords, not in anything on Seesaw's side of things. The password you used for Seesaw: had you ever used it on any other website ever? If yes... that was likely the problem.

@elementor support just advised me that I should run my client sites under PHP 7.4 to get rid of errors in their latest 3.7.2 version. Really?! PHP 7.4 was released in November 2019. Wow. #php #elementor #ancienthistory

@1Password @RPfl_ I too was shocked to see the Apple Watch integration vanish, and I see several discussions around the web complaining about this being removed from 8 without an announcement or warning. Trying to get used to 8 for now… some nice benefits and some steps backward at the same time.

@busymac Thanks, will do!
