I'm going mad. Is there a simple solution to creating a small e-commerce website? With you're paying for multiple premium plugins and it's just bonkers. It's like being caught in a web.

Haven't looked at or really. Ideas?

Edit: it's the multilingual stuff that is making it a headache.

davep,

@Extelec WooCommerce needs other stuff too https://woo.com/posts/building-a-multilingual-online-store-the-right-way/

davep,

@aloppnow
It's not cheap at $36/month for the basic option either (which I think is the first tier to allow multiple languages). But it looks better integrated for stocks than the WordPress WooCommerce additional plugins.

davep,

@Extelec WooCommerce needs another plugin, for example...

It's not very joined up for a small e-commerce website.

davep,

@Extelec oops, thanks. Updated.

It's the biggest pain. I've got WordPress, Elementor and Woo installed on a Raspberry Pi but it's going to get messy with the multilingual stuff.

davep,

@aloppnow Thanks. I think the basic multilingual stuff is included (3 languages?) at that tier, which would cover most of the market. And it's integrated, unlike the WordPress mess.

davep,

@Extelec It's just the way they implement multilingual stores. Yuck.

davep,

@aloppnow

Dayumn, you need the $299/month plan to sell abroad (or outside the EU, which specifically means England in our case)...

davep,

@Extelec with WooCommerce? ๐Ÿ‘€

davep,

@cyberia @Extelec
I saw there were stock sync issues with the likes of WPML etc across different languages. I'm not sure it'll be a huge problem as we won't be selling hundreds per day (and if we do, we could afford something more bespoke!).

Just updated every patch cable on the network to Cat 8. That's not a big deal since I'm not running labs anymore, but I realized I had a bewildering mix of 5e and 6, with one 7 and one, egad, old 5- so ripped and replaced all with 8.

davep,

@jack_daniel
Blimey. What is Cat 8 all about?

I'm feeling old.

Given Okta's recent troubles with keeping their network secure, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this blog post.

Still, a company that supposedly markets and sells security services, you would think they would have a better handle on something as rudimentary as password hashing.

TL;DR- Use SHA-2 or SHA-3 to hash passwords.

what's the most fucked up mishearing of lyrics that you've had that you only found out were wrong wayyyyy later?

for me, in "Dirty Deeds" by AC/DC I thought they were saying "Dirty deeds, ๐˜ฟ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™™๐™š๐™ง๐™˜๐™๐™ž๐™š๐™›" and I just assumed "Dunderchief" was some Australian 70's slang I didn't know

it was when I sang along to it in the car with Mrs. Smiths that I not only learned it was actually "๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ", but also that Mrs Smiths could somehow laugh hysterically and show total disappointment simultaneously

davep,

@quasirealsmiths
Dunderchief is my new go-to insult.

Finally got the two Sunny Islands on the wall (130lb each) with the help of a neighbour ๐Ÿ˜ต

Edit: they're 63kg, which is probably about 137lb in old money. Re-edit: nope, 139. Anyway, bloody heavy to lift above shoulder height.

davep,

@chrisgerhard Oops, I miscalculated. They're actually 63kg each.

davep,

@chrisgerhard Gah! 139 pounds.

davep,

@chrisgerhard It's a fair cop, guv'nor!

davep,

Me, a large chap, for scale.

You guys I just had a virtual appointment with a potential new psychiatrist and when she started to misdiagnose me and suggest stupid shit based on less than a half-hour session, I just stopped listening, told her off in arcane academese, and closed my laptop...

...That felt so fucking good... I'm walking on air... I think I've found the cure to all mental illnesses...

davep,

@RedtheBean Indeed. Slowly finding the keys to unpick the padlocks in my brain.
