Home of the bin chicken. Visit our friends:
Had my first comprehensive eye test today. Only reason I went to get checked was cause I couldn't read something at a distance, but my younger brother said the same thing to him was clear as day.
Verdict is, I am near-sighted. That wasn't the shocking part though, the price for the glasses was the shocking part.
So apparently our trains only run half hourly even in peak hour? I've never been near a train station before but omg this is terrible frequency.
Got some notifications end of last week that our website was up and down like a yoyo. Checked on it a couple of times and it seemed fine, so assumed the hosting company or monitoring company were having communications issues temporarily.
Noticed yesterday that my Discord webhook for our VOIP phones wasn't working, so had a poke around and noticed our website was had 3000+ unique visitors over the past 12 hours. This is super unusual as our website is a glorified business card that hasn't been updated (content wise) in 5+ years and generally gets double digit visitors a day at best. We generate basically no business through it so it's never been a priority.
Jumped in to a shell and poked around and found some interesting looking PHP scripts, a sneaky redirect for our domain+particular parameter in the URL, and a woocommerce store installed on our hosting account selling dodgy iphones and nike sneakers.
I just nuked the whole thing and put a static index.html cause I cbf looking any further last night but still not sure why they bothered. The store itself was on our hosting, but it was redirecting sales to a Polish URL for completion. A hosting account is all of a few bucks, and all the actual illegal financial stuff was happening on another domain anyway so why bother?
I'm guessing to get around domain blocks on social media? So they can storefront from dozens of different domains but consolidated all the sales on their own service. Maybe.
Anyway the moral of my story is I'm just going to replace the website with static html. It doesn't need any dynamic content anyway. Whats the current year method of creating a 5'ish page website of static content? Back in the day you could bust out Frontpage and make something crappy that worked but I'd like to follow modern web standards. Things like Jeckyll and Hugo but unless I'm misundertanding things they do the actual webserver functionality too?
I understood completely bugger all of that.
Actually I may have answered my own question - Publii looks to do what I want.
I'll give it a whirl tonight.
Why am I not in bed?
Oh, interesting new subdomain. Is that a Friendica instance?
Monsters, clowns, amphetamines, TV, partying.
Do we get a prize for the correct answer ?
@DiaDeLosMuertos I mean, you didn't just pick one of the reasons, you got them all! You definitely deserve a prize!
You're not getting one, but you deserve one!
I won $12 again on Lotto. I'm killing this thing. What's it like to be poor, poor people ?
Damn my face is sore red and uncomfortable. I've posted a pic to show a little bit of it.
Anyway it's Friday woop woop. A whole two days away from the grind.
I've been house sitting for 15 weeks and it's time to move again. Bummer. My friends are back from their OS trip on Monday. Nice break. England, Scotland, unsure where else but I know they're going to Vegas on the way back. They're from England and Scotland.
I'm moving in with a friend. Didn't think I'd be bloody going back to sharing, but it's a solution and it will save me money.
He goes OS for a few weeks next month and one good thing is he has two Staffies that are super friendly so there's that.
Having said all that I've never actually been inside his house. Lol. He's a friend of a friend actually and I have only ever been in his yard. Oh well here's hoping it's decent. Only $150 per week. Gotta save the dollars.
So yeah moving tomorrow then cleaning the house on Sunday. Damn I prefer to rest at the weekends.
Ok, hope your day is wonderful and that the weekend brings joy to all.
