Forked Norcross' Comment Blacklist Manager plugin into We Spam Econo and the performance gains are fucking bonkers.
WSE stores over 64k spam terms in a custom table (instead of an array in `wp_options`) and now it's 83x faster!
Takes about 1.3ms (on average) to check a comment in WSE versus 108ms using #WordPress core functionality.
Coming soon to a repo near you.
Presence
Wouldn’t it be nice…
To arrive with something
Made by hand
A page where colors once
Listened to your breath …
A small painting carrying a piece of your day
Not bought, but felt, and gently given …
Wouldn’t it be nice…
To gift a folded note, written slowly
With words that sat beside
Your heart for a while
Ink becoming warmth in
Someone else’s hands
A letter that lingers longer
Than any object …
Wouldn’t it be nice…
To bring a pressed flower
From a walk you loved
Held between pages like a
Secret of the earth
A moment of stillness
Wrapped in paper
A memory, passed from you to them …
Wouldn’t it be nice…
To offer a jar filled with tiny intentions
Little lines of hope, of courage, of light
So on heavy days, they can open one
And find you there, in a sentence …
Wouldn’t it be nice…
If our gifts carried pieces of our presence
Instead f things that fade
Without a story
A drawing, a word, a fragment of soul
Simple, and somehow, enough …

Is managed WordPress hosting worth it?
It depends on what your website needs.
For small or low-traffic sites, basic hosting is often enough.
But for business-critical websites, managed hosting can provide:
- Better performance
- Improved reliability
- Ongoing maintenance & support
We have outlined the trade-offs here: https://olvy.io/M8xSF

Today I learnt how to deactivate all AI features from Jetpack on Wordpress, so I've decided to share it in case someone's interested.
Simply add this line of code to the file functions.php of your site's theme or child theme:
add_filter( 'jetpack_ai_enabled', '__return_false' );
It works like a charm!

У меня какое-то дежавю с этой EmDash, когда все сравнивают её с WordPress. Почему, когда есть масса альтернатив, народ всё равно выбирает WP, даже зная насколько она уродлива? Полно хороших CMS, но народ их в упор не видит. https://maxsite.org/web/cms #cms #emdash #WordPress
