‘member? I got an old WordPress blog still

I recently discovered that I still got access to a web hosting account and the wordpress installation on it from my apprenticeship. And, glorious like wordpress is, the blog automatically updated and is running the latest version. I really don’t get how people get their wordpress installations infected. Like, okay, maybe if you use a plugin that doesn’t get updated very often, and so auto-update would break shit, but the solution there is not to not-update, but not to use shitty plugins which aren’t updated regulary. That’s like internet 101.

The url to this mysterious blog is http://netsh108027.web14.net-server.de/, and I can’t get an ssl certificate for it because that would mean buying one because my previous employer refuses to use let’s encrypt. They also still use their own administration interface, which is still a pain to use, but luckily you don’t have to if all you want is posting stupid shit on wordpress.

I also won’t get a real domain because that would mean fucking around in the aforementioned admin interface and adding a domain to it, and maybe my ex-boss would notice I still have this account and close it then.

Or maybe not. It’s not like it costs him big money or like the blog gets views, it doesn’t. It’s a shitty little wordpress blog like this one.

Pro-tip: If you ever want to google for web hosting sites with said company, just do a “site:web(11-15).net-server.de” and enjoy. Web11 is apparently used by some Japanese folk.

5/10, 4chan is best viewed mobile and HTML can suck my ****

I have suffered greatly but I have made it. The first week of the new internship is over. And today nobody told me that the company closes at 4pm instead of 4:30pm. So this little idiot wasted nearly half an hour in the office when he could have been on the road already.

Dumbasses.

In other news, I stuck to my schedule and went to the gym again today. And I took the Xiaomi with me, and then I installed Clover, the 4chan browsing app. This was a big improvement to gym life. I’m obviously talking about high-standing boards like /sci/ or innocent sounding ones like /mlp/. I definitely didn’t browse /b/ “pics you shouldn’t share” threads. Not me. I would never do such a thing in public! What would the world think of me? They would go home and tell their partners, children, neighbours, whatever about the weird long-haired bearded young man who watched porn on the treadmill.

And that is why browsing /b/ in public is better than browsing it at home.

I also tried myself at HTML again and wrote a couple of files to port this blog over to HTML-only. WordPress is just too damn convenient for me. If I have to edit the files with vim on the server maybe I’ll put more effort into it. We’ll see. It’s not done by a longshot, and people complain to me when I miss a day so I’ll stick to WP for now.
