holger, to wordpress German

A #wordpress related question:

I just noticed that stuff on my blog (which was hosted on URLold and now is hosted on URLnew) still points to URLold.

A quick inspection has shown that this is not a cache issue. When I look into the database, I can see that Wordpress introduced hard links for images like URLold/path/to/whatever/foto.jpg and similar stuff for other content.

The probably dumbest solution would be to replace all appearances of URLold with URLnew using sed or just an editor but ... there must be a better way? They cannot make their users edit the data base when the site migrates from URLold to URLnew. Right?

RIGHT?

@holger A search and replace is in fact the solution. But you need to beware of URLs stored in serialized PHP arrays. Doing a simple search and replace will break them.

I would use WP-CLI’s search-replace command to do this safely.

To those concerned about now using your chats, including trade secrets, NDA stuff, etc., to train their : did you expect using a third party with full content access to discuss those things? That they'd be gentlemen and not read your mail? That they somehow wouldn't try to find a way to monetize that juicy data? I am flabbergasted that people working for corporations just as immoral could have been that naive...

@lpwaterhouse many startups use discord for the same reason as corporates use slack
tencent has a share in discord inc. and thus an access to all the data
everybody running a startup knows that
nobody cares
idk, maybe that's applicable for startups only

@bpavuk Judging by my timeline a lot of people seem to care now; I am confused as to how they either a) didn't see it coming at all (read: naive in face of overwhelming prior examples) or b) managed to actively "not care" until it was "too late" (Hint: It was "too late" the second you put data in, not when you learned that they are using it). "a)" I can imagine, like a character in a bad novel, though it's a tall order; "b)" on the other hand... My brain does not work like that. At all. Of course there is always c) The people now clamoring are not ones that did, in fact, choose (they might have still been forced to) to use slack in the first place, but are merely expressing their indignation by stylistically putting themselves in that position to increase emotional involvement. Those are... vacuous...

Real talk w/ Billy Strings on Marc Maron's WTF pod. They covered a lot of ground including tearjerkers from Billy's childhood, his musical journey from bluegrass to metal to open improv, why he stopped drinking (was anyone at that RJ Rockers gig?), and the new record "Highway Prayers". He brought his guitar too.

Second Boeing whistleblower dead: Joshua Dean, 45, of Wichita, Kansas, died Tuesday after he received multiple diagnoses that included the flu, pneumonia and MRSA, prompting his family to seek an autopsy, attorney Robert Turkewitz said. "He was a healthy individual who ate well and exercised," Turkewitz told NBC News.

I just tried to help a friend and found this - wait what, Save As a PDF in MS Office on your local computer, it ... funnels your local document through their cloud service? 🤯

Sure, no data leak at all.
