Serves me right for not testing the API in the terminal first..

Transitioning the web to default to https instead of http is one of the biggest scams big media has pulled on us. That and shitty "security" apps that insist that sites using dyndns are insecure and criminal in intent. This is a major factor in the corporatization of the web.

I remember when people who ran web sites would ask me "How can I keep people on my site?" and I'd say "You can't. The very nature of the web is an ever expanding universe meant to be explored. People *will leave* your site, but if you want them to return you need to provide reasons for them to return, not just try to lock them in."

If they prioritize logging in, they’re focused on customers.

This also informs who won the internal arguments: people who care about users or people who care about sales.

LLMs in Web-Development: Evaluating LLM-Generated PHP code unveiling vulnerabilities and limitations
This research carries out a comprehensive examination of web application code security, when generated by Large Language Models through analyzing a dataset comprising 2,500 small dynamic PHP websites. These AI-generated sites are scanned for security vulnerabilities after being deployed as standalone websites in Docker containers. The evaluation of the websites was conducted using a hybrid methodology, incorporating the Burp Suite active scanner, static analysis, and manual checks. Our investig…

I've big sympathies with the core message of this article. Maybe because I'm also using a IMHO quite potent, but old OnePlus 3T and observed that a significant part of boring plain web stuff has become a PITA to use on the go.
The importance of bloated web sites gets much, much bigger if you look at it with a global PoV taking the inequalities into account.

I remember seeing a video about some software that you could install on a server that was sort of like Softaculous or other programs that web hosting sites let you use to install applications like Wordpress or Drupal with one click. But this was one you could install even on a raspberry pi. Anyone know what I'm thinking of?

Was a little shocked that IIS didn't have a mime type mapping for WEBP and also that, unlike when I was using IIS a lot 10 years ago, it's hard to find documentation to configure IIS with the UI now and instead it looks like the Apache docs telling you to edit some file...
I guess that's progress because back in my Apache days I had mad scripts to create and configure new web sites.

Reason I use blockers as sites like this want to pull every bit of data from me. Want to show an ad, not a problem, just don't use those invasive scripts. I don't have to read the article, but you need the money, so respect my choices on what ads I don't want.

Detecting Phishing Sites Using ChatGPT
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs), including ChatGPT, is having a significant impact on a wide range of fields. While LLMs have been extensively researched for tasks such as code generation and text synthesis, their application in detecting malicious web content, particularly phishing sites, has been largely unexplored. To combat the rising tide of cyber attacks due to the misuse of LLMs, it is important to automate detection by leveraging the advanced capabilities of LLMs. In thi…

A large contingent of webdevs seem to think that fast means “best-case fast.”
“Our web sites are fast on expensive hardware and from reliable fiber networks.”
Worst-case fast is a much more meaningful, impressive, and inclusive claim to make! Fast on low-end hardware. Fast on slow networks.
Fast on the World Wide Web—not just from a WeWork in Silicon Valley.
