@smallwheels SVN is the way WP requires third-party plugin developers to push their code to the WordPress directory and installed sites for distribution, it’s not specific to this developer. The point is that anyone can buy up hundreds of plugins from developers on the cheap and push malware to...

https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/14/someone-planted-backdoors-in-dozens-of-wordpress-plugins-used-in-thousands-of-websites/ These high-profile supply chain attacks have been happening a lot recently.. XZ Utils through linux, axios through npm, and now the WordPress plugin directory. There's no...

Meta ads targeting university students in the right locale and demographic. Way less bot clicks, unserious people and spam compared to Reddit. The ad should go to the review page, but that page should have the review form above the fold which requires customization.

I have run highly-targeted ads with success but the landing page experience is just as important as the ad itself. What kind of items are you asking people to review?

In this add-on specifically, the upvote/downvote is powered by native reactions. Considering that some first posts don't have a lot of reactions, I added an aggregation setting to count all reactions toward the first post's reaction score for ranking purposes.

Yeah, and forums should have fully native apps as well. Forums have really fallen behind. Got started on a reddit-like feed add-on some time ago with support for forums, resources and XFMG (this isn't a mock-up) but since pre-sales are prohibited it's probably not going to see completion, as...

XF 2.4 is going to use TipTap so it would break again anyway.

Nope. Security folks are seeing a lot of new business recently. This kind of reminds me of the old vb days. People would outsource a plugin cheap, get hacked and then I'd be hired to audit and clean the forum.

What you’re looking for is a native app. That is where I implement things like this. On the web this is not feasible, particularly for complex sites like forums.

I received a DM while having the forum open on two different devices. I opened it on one device and left the other alone. When I opened the other device the next morning and expanded the DM menu, the timestamp was dated in the future, "Later today at 1:51PM". The other device never destroyed...

You cannot implement a timer without locking the submit button, otherwise a short reply could trigger a false positive, and without signing it the start time can be spoofed by the client. This is the minimum for a proper implementation, not a "narrow tool". It catches humans who prompt, copy...

Spam and AI-assisted posting are not mutually exclusive. The latter can produce confident-sounding, linguistically-coherent posts that mean nothing in reality. The quoted post is a prime example. To reply to a post, you have to 1. open the thread, 2. read the post, and then 3. write the...

A 5090 or 6000 requires a motherboard, RAM, disk, PSU, man hours for diagnostics, assembly/disassembly of the PC and exercising the warrant(ies?) if one or more parts fail (with associated downtime for each), and a higher electric bill sprinkled on top. The M3/5 Ultra is a complete unit. This...

@ES Dev Team GPT OSS 120b is a MoE model designed to use less compute and post-trained on MXFP4 to consume less RAM, and this comes at the cost of consistency and quality as it compounds errors. With 512GB and 80 GPU cores on the M3 Ultra (not Max with 40), you should be able to run 200B dense...

@ES Dev Team Neat setup. If power consumption and model size is a concern, you might want to consider selling it and switching to a sub-100W idle 256GB-RAM M3 Ultra, or wait for the even better state-of-the-art 512GB M5 Ultra which should be released this June.
