There was a large cryptomining script attack on government websites this weekend. Unsigned JS files from a single service was responsible.

@Nixfreak @tinker yeah, I'm a little behind on more perfect, but it's also great.

@tinker if you like science and in depth reporting, Radiolab is fantastic. I don't do many audiobooks myself, so I'm enjoying going through this thread 😃

I'm sitting up, at 3:45 with a restless baby and the fact that the president cares more about alliterative insults on Twitter more than making sure work gets done has me just https://fosstodon.org/media/eH461V3Ht8lFDUBANXI

Today, I got a rudimentary version of an updated PD registration website successfully logging a user in via Google, and saving, updating, and displaying registrations instantly without page reloads.

Next steps are to pull in workshop data from an existing Google sheet, to encrypt user IDs and clean up the object models so they're not so clunky.

It was a good day.

I think I learned more today about webdev, data structures, and API calls than I ever have before. All because I'm the only one from my team in the office today.

@ajroach42 It isn't. You have to use a Liquid query to find posts with the tags. Doable, but not super fun.

@Andy_P 😓

@welshgeekboy Yeah, I've definitely been shamed a couple of times, so before I ask, I make sure I try _everything_ I can think of to debug. I also start a question, leave, and then come back and finish before posting to avoid dumb mistakes 🙄

The anxiety, especially for a semi-competent amateur web programmer is real. Most of this stuff is on my own, with no formal training. Because I'm piecemealing, I _know_ I'm missing fundamentals, but asking about them on the forum causes stress.

Yeah, so, this didn't work.

I always feel nervous posting to StackOverflow because I'm worried that it's something _really_ stupid that I've missed.

Fresh morning, been up since before 5 with a fussy baby. Luckily, a lot of meetings got cancelled, so I can sit at my computer and work on this website refactor. With enough coffee, anything can get started.

@ajroach42 you can add tags and categories to help, but yeah, displaying them in a meaningful (clickable to something useful) way can be tricky.

So, I think I know what I was doing wrong with my firebase app this afternoon. It came to me during dinner. Now, to make it to 8PM without forgetting so I can try it after the kids are in bed and before I collapse from exhaustion.

The worst thing ever is when you try to implement something that worked in the tutorial you just finished.

Why. WHY. https://fosstodon.org/media/FG-j4cZQ8toO_dD1qmY
