I haven't thought this through, but why shouldn't I just block all of the major datacenter providers IP ranges from accessing my personal websites?

Well, that was not too difficult. Very neat step by step process.

To all the other "computer people" going to see family during the holidays:

When they complain about their iPhone being messed up, the option you're looking for this year is "reduce transparency" under accessibility settings.

You're welcome in advance.

In May, I'll be giving what will probably be the first ever PHP 8.6 talk: Piping Hot PHP.

8.5 isn't even cool yet, but 8.6 already has some hot new features. Combining 8.5's pipe operator with the new partial function application capabilities in 8.6 should give us a whole new way to think about structuring code!

What's with all the unsubscribe links recently not pre-filling addresses?

It makes unsubscribing alias email addresses frustrating.

Maybe prefilling the email led to unintended disclosure? I would think the tracking ID on the unsubscribe URL should still function for it's purpose though.

My Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about:
1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead
2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns
3. How OSS can actually innovate in #ux

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.
