Great day at WordCamp!
WordPress@wordpress.org · 4w agoAs Showcase Day comes to a close at WordCamp US, we’re grateful for everything shared, from ideas presented on stage to conversations in the hallways. Whether you spent the day learning, connecting, or a little of both, we hope you enjoyed it. 💙 #WCUS
It was so much fun speaking at CascadiaJS and now you can learn all about HTP/3 and how it's changing the conversation.
CascadiaJS@cascadiajs.com · 2mo ago📦 What if bundling isn't the performance optimization it used to be? @moonmeister.net makes the case that HTTP/3 has changed the rules, and it's time to rethink decades of web performance advice around bundling, caching, and network requests. youtu.be/F7J-yaGQqJI

Our @astro.build production builds just went from 1m 26s to 46s with the migration to Astro v7 and Sätteri. More importantly, local builds on my laptop <10s and the dev server feels so much less laggy. Congrats on the release and big gains.

I still think back to that time when I was included in a mass email and NOBODY replied all. Another reason the folks who speak at @cascadiajs.com are great.

So... @techconnectify.bsky.social any chance you are planning an expose on the VPNs and how they're all scammy trash? Also, I hope you have a good lawyer in case Big VPN comes for you. 🤣😅
Sometimes you get to walk away from the keyboard and fix windows. New flashing, new casing. Hopefully less drafty and more water proof (luckily haven't had issues).
The green room is where the real party is at CascadiaJS @robbiethewagner.dev @nerdy.dev @focusotter.bsky.social @moonmeister.net @thenyahmacklin.bsky.social
Such a great time! If you're near Seattle and don't attend Cascadia you really should try to fix that next year!

The hallway track at #CascadiaJS is legendary. I've met lots of great folks, including fellow WordPress friends like Jason!
I had an idea for a little recipe app. Thought of a clever name even. Turns out it was such a good idea someone had already built the app and they even used my name! 😂 www.justtherecipe.com

@tna.sh Re: I like your idea of allowing an editor account to "Switch To" admin. I'm solo on my blog. However, simply giving "edit_user" doesn't work cause editors can't list admin users even with "list_users" permissions. What am I missing?
@tna.sh Heads up, Welcome and MFA lessons don't have video controls. And the link to "Temporary Users" 404s, and I had to go to /lessons to find the correct link.

@tna.sh In your session management video, you mention "Tame Login Sessions" a lot and seem to imply we could use it...But there's no link in resources, and I can't find it anywhere via Google. Is that available somewhere?
@tna.sh Working through the security course. You mentioned length over complexity for passwords and that users might repeat characters. Despite my searching, I couldn't find a WP password complexity plugin that had a rule for "no repeated characters more than X times". Do you know of any?
