Can any of my fedifellowshippers offer help on setting up a (SIMPLE) 'subscribe to this blog' thing on my self hosted Wordpress instance?

All the plugins looked at so far have been massive overkill from my perspective.

Offering blog subscription is all I want to do.

Never going to be running newsletters or (barf) marketing campaigns. Just my silly ol' blog.

(infoblox.com) Morphing Meerkat: Advanced Phishing-as-a-Service Platform Using DNS MX Records for Tailored Attacks blogs.infoblox.com/threat-inte

This report details the discovery of a sophisticated Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform called 'Morphing Meerkat' that has been operating for at least five years. The platform leverages DNS mail exchange (MX) records to dynamically serve fake login pages tailored to victims' email providers, spoofing over 100 brands. The threat actor behind this operation sends thousands of spam emails, primarily through specific ISPs, exploits open redirects on adtech infrastructure, compromises WordPress sites, and uses multiple credential exfiltration methods including Telegram. The phishing kit includes advanced evasion techniques such as code obfuscation, anti-analysis measures, and dynamic translation capabilities supporting over a dozen languages to target users globally.

Maybe it is because my self-hosted #Mastodon server went down 14-hours yesterday due to a Debian package update that screwed up NGINX and server admin is heavily on my mind, but I woke up in a panic, even screaming "Oh F*ck" ready to take action, because I was in a realistic dream that I had a WordPress blog that received thousands of spam replies with links and when I went to delete all those out of quarantine, I actually approved them and fed the ActvitiyPub firehose tens of thousands of spam.

It left me with wondering if replies originating on a #ActivityPub enabled #WordPress blog federates or not. Time to do some reading.

Good to hear about your book!

I am working on an initiative named "Building bridges, from #museums to the Fediverse", and I feel that somehow we are in sync.

We are trying to imagine how digital repositories (museum collections on the web) could establish a mediated dialogue with decentralized social networks, by stitching with #wordpressplugins.

While reading the social web documentation of @index, I discovered that Tumblr is on their way to integrate with the social web after migrating their backend to WordPress.

Does anyone know of any good quality blogs from Tumblr? Just wondering if it will be a win for the Fediverse, or if the vast majority of those millions of blogs are just low to average content.

I'm trying to create a Table of Content for for some of my WordPress blog posts.

But if I write a plugin to change [toc] to an HTML list, I get caught in an infinite loop.
The plugin is part of the content and so gets called recursively.

This seems like a knotty problem, so I'm using you all as a rubber-duck.

(No, I don't want to use someone else's plugin.)

🙄 Mullenweg Considers Delaying WordPress Releases Through 2027

「 A WordPress Slack chat shows that Matt Mullenweg is considering limiting future WordPress releases to just one per year from now through 2027 and insists that the only way to get Automattic to contribute more is to pressure WP Engine to drop their lawsuit. One WordPress developer who read that message characterized it as blackmail 」

Are there any personal/small group scale open source digital archiving tools I can look into?

Some family members are looking into scanning and sharing old paper documents and photos from many decades ago. The likely number of people interested in accessing the information would likely be dozens to (at most) hundreds, and the amount of data is probably in the "several gigabytes" range instead of terabytes, so scaling up isn't likely to be a concern.

After a short amount of research (mostly wikipedia), the things I am finding are geared toward institutional archiving with substantial configuration requirements (#dSpace is the one I looked at, among others).

Ideally what they are asking to be able to do is perform OCR + full text searches on scanned PDF documents. For PDFs and image files (also scanned), they want to add metadata (e.g. date, location, people), and have a basic web frontend to be able to search and share access to it.

I talked with them about #Wordpress and #Nextcloud as examples, both of which could handle the file storage and web frontend, but I am not sure how they would do for the archival features they were asking about. Are there add-on tools that would make one of these usable for long term archiving and sharing?

I think that it would be optimal to be able to run on a commodity VM or bare metal hardware running *BSD/Linux so they can move where it is hosted as needed over the years.
