Possible API Abuse
by orchids in technical feedback on jun 12, 2024
yeah it's a fair point and email verification has slowly been growing to be more and more of a priority as time has went on.
it's looking like that's gonna be the next thing I work on. We already have mechanisms for sending out emails and performing some ...

<quoting=Khastle postID=2594 threadID=303> I'd highly advise an approval queue if you can implement one for new users, my site uses Xenforo which makes it easy so I can understand if that would be harder to put in but I highly respect you are doing all ...
Possible API Abuse

ok man i hear you but consider this: i am one person working a full time job and this is a hobby project

Possible API Abuse
by orchids in technical feedback on jun 12, 2024
i just deployed a new change requiring a user to have a least 1 post before creating a thread.
we've had some issues with bots in the past few months, so hopefully that change should mitigate some of that, but I'll keep this in mind and look for other ...

welcome to the forum @KSymph!!
I haven't yet gotten into modding, but I just dipped my toes into the hobby by buying a Analogue Pocket, which turned out to be not such a great purchase. I almost feel like the money would have been better spent on a modded ...

running list of "small web" services
by orchids in general on jun 8, 2024
I feel like the past couple years, I've been finding way too many new services gaining popularity because people are getting tired of mainstream social media. So much in fact, that it's almost getting overwhelming and hard to keep track.
So this thread ...

car shopping. leasing vs buying used?
by orchids in general on jun 8, 2024
turns out covid inflated the prices of buying a used car so much that I can buy my lease and then sell it back for a profit, which is frankly insane.
So i'm buying my car and just gonna get the roof replaced, since that seems to be the most cost-effective ...

<quoting=starbreaker postID=2458 threadID=147> Just wanted to mention that while Windows has a command prompt, it doesn't come with SSH. For that you'd want to either set up WSL, or install an app like PuTTY.
Also, why does certbot have a dependency on ...
