Trying to make the Mediawiki SMTP settings work by sending password reset emails to myself... and after 30+ minutes of brute forcing the settings, I notice: »Only one password reset email will be sent per valid account every hour« ⚰️

Comment vérifier si ton prestataire WordPress est un clown ? 🤡 #S01E05

Faire du WordPress en clic-clic peut convenir pour certains sites, mais ça a ses limites… Se dispenser de développeurs pour son site internet, c’est clairement n’avoir aucune conscience de toutes les facettes d’un projet web.

Les WP lents ou hackés sont typiques de personne ne maîtrisant pas complètement le CMS… #PEBCAK

Gérer la web performance et la sécurité fait pourtant parti du job.

Que tu choisisses WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, Symfony, Ruby on Rails, Webflow, Wix, etc… assure-toi juste que tout le monde connaît son sujet et les enjeux communs (notamment budgétaires), et un·e bon·e chef·fe de projet DIGITAL est justement là pour ça ! 😉

Investir dans la gestion de projet, c’est s’éviter des coûts de non-qualité.

All of those problems I thought I was having with this website glitching out. Yeah... I found the problem. It was some browser extension I had enabled. Silly me. 🤭 At least I know that the extension works as explicitly stated. I have since rectified the problem. Now things work as intended. It just took seeing the same thing happen on a different site before I put 2 & 2 together. Lesson learned. It's always user error.   #PEBCAK #ID10T

Hi @doctormo

I am trying to load ICC profile into #Inkscape on #FreeBSD but those aren't loaded/discovered...

I do believe that is a #Pebcak but I couldn't spot this out...

Any hints? ​

More details here:

Thanks... ​

Can't connect ICC profiles to Inkscape

Hi guys, Installed the ICC profiles but I can't let Inkscape seeing them. Concerning that it could be another linuxism I create a symbolic link from /usr/local/share/color however these ICC profiles aren't loaded... tree ~/.color/icc/ /home/freezr/.color/icc/ ├── OpenICC │ ├──...

No wonder I've been having issues with my computer for the past few days;

Somehow, I managed to tell #Boinc to use all 16 cores of the CPU. That was never going to work well. Multiple reboots due to graphics corruption was one of the symptoms. Generally sluggish was another.

Obviously #PEBCAK, but I have now knowledge of when, how, or what on earth I was thinking!!!
