  • It’s not just Lemmy, it’s all of the communities and people that he constantly trolls and shits on. The only people he hasn’t tried to piss off are neo-fascists and Russians. If someone doesn’t see that, they must not be paying attention. Which, well… that’s not a bad idea, to be honest.

    Regardless, it’s nice that everyone is finally waking up to the fact that he’s just a grifter who likes to call non-grifters pedos.

    Also, I caught the comment you made next to this one; what client are you using that shows downvotes? If they’re actually downvoted (shows +1 to me), it’s likely because the sentence, right after the one they quoted, answered their question. So, the comment as-is didn’t really add anything to the conversation.

    My answer is probably boring, but it works, and I had fun with my own. Just set up Wordpress. At this point, you can find templates for any site design imaginable, and there are a million plugins for it. It’s an all-around solid platform, that has mountains of documentation. Wordpress was made for blogging, can’t go wrong there, but I’ve used it for all kinds of stuff, including ecommerce. It’s simple and effective enough that I have a hard time going any other direction.

    I used to host Wordpress sites on a home LAMP server; it was a fun project that didn’t cause a bunch of headaches, mainly because of the amount of available documentation. Search “wordpress self-host” and you’ll find a whole lot of information.

    Good luck with whatever you decide on!


  • Just a heads-up, your comment is posted twice.

    Not sure if there are any browser dev tools that do what you’re specifically asking. It’s more that you need to know what to look for in the source code, and the tools just aid in finding/editing/testing things. Even if you learn a dozen coding languages, and know what to look for, they may be sending the password as plain text and then doing the dirty work server-side. Maybe they send a single-use key to your browser, hash and send the password with that, then re-hash it on the server, with a private key. There are numerous ways to accomplish the task, and I’m glad I didn’t start any arguments with my simplistic “this is it” statement.

    All of that said, I’ve been out of practice for quite a while, and I was never a wizard anyhow. So, maybe someone else can offer a catch-all solution, but I really doubt it. Regardless, being aware and vigilant puts you way ahead of the pack, so nice work there.
