Did you know that cPanel has a back end user–space API? I’ve yet to see a web front end user dashboard that’s reliable and consistent.

I saw something peculiar the other day. Hallucination? The microsoft.com domain was serving up 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.1 as A records in a 7 address round robin.
That’s a spooky reminder to check your rebinding setup — that is, if you’re playing with fire ().
For example,
unbound
with private-address and private-domain. Then
test if DNS rebinding is possible.

Are the caches warmed up? vmtouch and fincore are two useful programs.

Many fortnights ago, I foolishly thought writing a theme from scratch would be easy. It was mostly unlike GTK2. About 40 minutes in came a horrifying realization: there’s fundamentally (and definitively) no way to write a consistent theme that works reliably with every application. The minor upside was a working (and somewhat accessible) wireframe theme and a basic understanding of debugging. The end.

Not everyone’s tech savvy. But… it’s interesting that deeper discussions around the objectionable nature of A/B testing are never had in these kind of journalistic articles.
Nothing beats plausibly deniable per device phenomena, dynamic article titles, and/or personalized content — the ole slow motion divide and conquer (they saw it, we didn’t).
That article caught my eye because my Internet speed is rotten enough that I’d have never known.
