Do you use Threads? You can find me there too at @wpelevator@threads.net.

I use Buffer to schedule and cross-post all my content for easy access on whichever platform you prefer.

"Don't roll your own crypto" they say. I've decided to roll my own online course platform with WordPress because all existing plugins and tools do too much for what is really needed. I've really enjoyed the custom platforms that wesbos.com and ian.is have built.

For a weekend project I built a 12V UPS that can power 35W for around 2h. There is a boost converter in line that brings it up to 48V for PoE cameras and other devices while the NVR and the mini PC sip 12V directly.

How do you keep track of links across the site to ensure they're up to date? On relatively new sites I often find myself updating page and post slugs which then requires replacing all references.

Safari bookmarks bar on macOS now supports favicons and empty titles so I can finally switch from Chrome to Safari on Desktop. It was the only thing keeping me using Chrome.

How are you navigating to frequently visited sites?

WordPress themes used to embrace Microformats which helped search engines extract semantic content without needing a plugin that prints JSON-LD schema.

How do we solve this with blocks when different content elements can be anywhere? Is it time to have basic JSON-LD implementation in core?

Many WordPress projects skip on unit tests because of how complicated the setup seems. I'm working on a course that will let you start writing your first PHPUnit test in minutes! Subscribe on wpelevator.com to get notified when it launches!

Responded to @kasparsd:

This is the relevant part of the WP block that makes the display decision. Somehow the page had its modified date stuck before the publish date…

Something is not working with the "last modified" block in WordPress – it isn't showing up for posts that have definitely been modified. Anyone experienced this before?

Restic is wonderful for Docker volume backups. Used it to recover an older sqlite database for Nginx Proxy Manager a few days ago.

What is your preference for key expiry period? Do you renew it annually or keep at long TTL? What is the best practice?

Responded to @fabionatali:

@fabionatali Understood! My usacase was to save on space and to reduce the power consumption (with one power supply and UPS) by having everything on a single device that I control. That SFP ONT stick has its own Linux so it is still a separate device.

Plugging your router in the bridged port of the provider’s ONT would be equally performant.
