Just realized after I changed the directory name of my website I haven’t updated the path in the cron job as well, meaning that it just didn’t run in the last months…
I always wondered why WordPress is complaining more about cron issues recently and I feel stupid right now

Many people are coming back, welcome back to you all!
And here I am, camping for a whole weekend, disconnecting from tech and living the dream! (If only it didn’t rain for 6 hours and flood our campsite )

Welcome back!
I’m good, hbu?
Welcome back!
Oh dear, be safe!
Alright, what i want to say is.. *bursting my laugher 
For funsies, i signed up for preorder of trump mobile thing, and i found few anomalies
One, why they send emails from EC2 instance? Bruh, there’s tons of transactional email providers, even amazon have their own, SES, but they use ec2. Which i don’t think it works, because amazon blocked outbound port 587 & 25 from get go!
Two, they don’t have DKIM signature. Three, not matching mail hostname and PTR record.
Yup, i don’t think gmail, outlook, and other mail providers will accept their emails. Maybe some go to spam, but i think mail providers will reject these emails anyway 
This is what the email look like. Sup!

I think Amazon allows you to send email from EC2 instances. It’s blocked by default and you need to request it to be enabled, but you can do it. And there are perfectly fine reasons to not use an email provider and manage it yourself (flexibility is the main one I think). I even know one transactional email provider that actually hosts their platform on EC2, but they also brought their own IP addresses to send the email from.
That said, I would only do this if you have a need for it, you know what you’re doing, or you just don’t care about whether your emails reach their destination. From the looks of it, I would say that this mail falls in that last category.

Iran is supplying Russia with a vast amount of drones that are being used to kill Ukrainians. Regime change in Iran could put an end to that, so it could be a good thing if this does lead to a bigger conflict leading to that outcome, and the Iranian people want to be liberated too. Their terrorist government had and still has every intention of building nuclear weapons and wiping out Israel with them in the belief that God will step in and save them from being wiped out in return. There is only one fix for that, and they will need to be struck again and again in the future to prevent them from carrying out their plan. You only need to build a nuclear facility under a mountain to try to protect it against bombs, and you only need to do that if you’re using it to make something you shouldn’t. Obama’s deal merely put a short delay on Iran’s path to having nuclear weapons and would have guaranteed that they end up with them. It’s sad that it took a mad bastard to have the balls to do the right thing. He gets almost everything wrong, but on this issue it’s the Democrats who are mad.

I’m glad, like you, primarily because, as you said, they help russia.
Iran can also buy a nuclear bomb, i.e. there are plenty of countries that are willing to give them. So I doubt that these few thrown bombs will solve anything, in addition, that enriched material, which needs to be 90% to be usable for a nuclear bomb, fits in a tank the size of a scuba tank, and it is easily hidden and difficult to track.

There’s always an issue annoying me with my laptop recently that is when I close the lid there’s a chance that when I open it back up, the screen doesn’t light up. Windows is clearly still running because sometime I can even hear sounds from it, and I can literarily type the reboot command blindly and it reboots… Device manager always reports that the GPUs are turned off after the reboot, while this should be the culprit I just cannot figure out how to solve it

That is strange. Does it have a magnet sensor for the lid closing?
I had an old laptop with 2, one for the light and one for everything else. and the “everything else” one stuck, meaning i could open my laptop and the screen would light up for 2 seconds and then nothing… maybe you’re experiencing the reverse?

That’s another irony: not only might Trump now be helping Ukraine by damaging Iran’s ability to supply drones to Russia, but he might also be helping drive action on climate change by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.

I have returned from camping. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I really wanted to. 
I guess the good part is I put many miles on my scooter, which I used to go to different areas of the campsite.
I didn’t capture many pictures, but here is what I have:
This is a sink in one of the shower houses. Hot is one tap, cold is the other. You have to hold the tap open in order to actually use it. I had nothing on me to hold the tap open. Fun . Oh, it is also complete with dead hand dryers.
One of the meals made during the stay was raviolis in mozzarella sauce. It was amazing.
My dog, Max, sitting in a chair. He loves sitting in that chair
I was trying to figure out why the small Laundromat was getting very hot when the dryer was running. Turns out, the dryer on the right (which is the one in the back in this image) had it’s vent kicked off.
I tried to reconnect the tubing, but there wasn’t enough space to work in, and the dryers are floor-mounted.
I contacted the Camp Office about this, and 20 minutes later they placed an Out of Order sign on the dryer and disconnected it.
Dryers are propane-powered, with electric start, made in 1994 (both of them), and somehow they managed to keep them going. I wish I had a dryer like that. Washers are similar, but no gas, and the oldest was made in 1969. 
I guess the good thing is that the washers are 2 quarters, and dryers are 1 quarter. Annoying thing is that the washers are done in 20 minutes, and dryers are done in 1 hour.
Most of the pictures I have contain faces, so I am not going to send them.
The camping area I was at flooded. It never dried up, even with the extreme heat.
In the end, a sub-par camping experience.

Yes, I made a few more changes to how authentication works.
Login with GitHub is a very clear addition indeed.
But you can now also link multiple authentication providers with your account! You can combine logging in with a password, Google and GitHub on a single profile. So you can still disable password authentication if you login with Google, but you don’t have to. You can use any combination of authentication methods, as long as at least one is enabled at all times.
Note that 2FA only applies to when using password authentication, not social logins.

I don’t think so, more like some driver issues…
Windows 10 LTSC 2021 doesn’t have this sh*t, so I might just upgrade to that version.

Well if that is the case it would be easier to fix.
Fingers crossed you get it working

Sorry, can’t heart for a bit.
.
I’m just wondering, why is there a daily heart limit? 
It honestly feels very unnecessary to carry such a limit.

In my mind, there are two main reasons for this limit (and this is entirely my point of view):
First, it’s to prevent notification spam and abuse. If someone decided to like every single post made by an active user, that person would get hundreds or even thousands of notifications (unless they’ve turned notifications off, which some users, like me, probably haven’t). Plus, malicious users could slow down the forum by liking everything in the forum at once with multiple accounts.
Second, it stops people from creating alt accounts to like all the posts made by their main account. This would be done just to inflate stats and to gain those shiny badges and numbers on their profile.
