What’s Past is No Blog
I decided to move all of my old LiveJournal archive category (452 posts!) to Private. These date from 2003 to 2008, before I moved to this self-hosted WordPress setup. I made most of them when I was still in college and connected to the SWIL current student and alumni community that used LJ heavily.
With the advent of generative AI for search, I’ve been seeing a significant uptick of traffic to these ancient posts, and when I’ve glanced at some of these, more than a few of them are extremely cringe. Nothing objectionable that I saw but I was just rude in how I expressed my opinions as an immature 21 year old. They’re a little bit embarrassing now, don’t all need to be public, and definitely don’t need to be harvested into some huge model somewhere. (Although that has assuredly already happened a bunch.)
Bulk Operation
There was probably a more automated one-shot query for marking all these posts as private, but I figured the safest was to paginate in the admin dashboard by category and move to private 20 posts at a time. 23 pages times 6 clicks took 10 minutes or so.
- Move to next page in Category filter
- Select all checkbox
- Select Edit bulk action
- Apply
- Select “Private” in Status dropdown
- Update
What’s Next?
I know a lot of people choose to set up autodeletion for posts, especially for microblogging, but in general I still want to keep my history up in the internet space I own. The hiding I’m doing today is primarily about scrubbing for my worst nerd-assertive posting, which I hope I grew out of a long time ago… but as an Elder Millennial, not long enough ago that it wasn’t frozen in amber on the public internet.
At some point I’d like to go through and republicize a bunch of these that are more along the themes of how I’ve been writing in recent years: pictures, recipes, tech topics, and so on. As long as my voice is nicer. 😂 I think there are some interesting topics from my first few years as a single dude in Boston for sure, including when I was a Big Brother. Restoring some posts, however, is a project for another day.
One silly sad thing about this post is that before I made it I happened to have exactly 1337 posts on the blog across all categories. I should have t3h c3lebr4ted. (Oops, there’s that immaturity again.)

A big shout out to @mpe for being the mastermind behind Knowledge Commons' new look and feel. I will be updating our VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) in the next few weeks, but many of the items still on it from last year have now been remediated. Huzzah!
Even better? It's responsive and looks great on mobile devices! What a way to start the new year.

Critical Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Modular DS plugin affecting 40k+ Sites exploited in the wild
A critical unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability has been discovered in the Modular DS WordPress plugin, affecting over 40,000 sites. The flaw allows attackers to bypass authentication and gain admin access. Exploitation attempts have been observed in the wild, with attackers creating unauthorized admin accounts. The vulnerability stems from flawed route handling and authentication mechanisms. Patchstack has issued mitigation rules and assigned CVE-2026-23550. The plugin developer has released version 2.6.0 to address the issue. Users are urged to update immediately. Additional exploit paths were later discovered, leading to the assignment of CVE-2026-23800. The vulnerability highlights the dangers of implicit trust in internal request paths when exposed to the public internet.
