From shel at principledprofit.com Sat Jan 2 19:24:10 2021 From: shel at principledprofit.com (Shel Horowitz) Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2021 14:24:10 -0500 Subject: [Hidden-tech] SCAM ALERT Message-ID: My PC restarted this morning and greeted me with a screen to buy MS Office 360 Family Plan for half-off the first year. It passed my informal test for red flags--and was actually something I had planned to buy. I put in my cc info and got a confirmation screen that said I should go ahead and start using the product. It never asked me any questions about who the other users would be or gave me any link to access, and it did not provide a confirmation by email. That's when I got suspicious. I called the cc company within 15 minutes and luckily they had no transactions from today. At that point I froze the card.

You can add yourself to their waiting list here: https://www.starlink.com/ Access will eventually be worldwide (as in, take it with you and plug it in wherever there's power). Price right now is $499 for the antenna and $99/month. They are planning on 1 megabits/second, right now with fewer satellites they're hitting around 150-200mbps. Latency is about the same or less than cable because the satellites are in very low orbit. Setup is extremely simple, point it toward the south (you'll need an unobstructed view of the southern sky) and plug it in, the motorized antenna finds the satellites as they pass over.

You set it up on the TV, and your phone, and whenever you watch something in YouTube or through the Chrome browser on your phone, you can "throw" it to the Chromecast device, essentially telling the device to stream the video using the URL you threw it. It takes over the streaming. Works best if you also have the Chromecast device plugged in via hardwire, so as to not soak your wifi bandwidth. I don't think Bluetooth has the bandwidth to stream video, though i could be wrong.

Technically, contacts are not a part Gmail; they are stored by the Android system itself, and other apps can access them (if you grant them permission). The Gmail app gets your contacts from the Android system and sync them to your Google/Gmail account (and vice versa), but it's not the only app that can do this. For example, I use the [Dav5x app] to back up / synchronize my contacts to a [Nextcloud] server that I run. [Dav5x app]: https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/ [Nextcloud]: https://nextcloud.com/ -- To respect your time, I try to write short, functional emails.

Web hosting is wrongly perceived as a commodity, so web hosts compete rabidly on price, eventually requiring either cutting quality to remain solvent, or selling out to a company that thinks they can ring profit from the bought host. In my 25 years, damage to the web hosts' clients always resulted from the cruel economies of web hosting. In my experience, the host with by far the longest stretch being good was FutureHosting.com (FH), about ~10 years. A few months ago they suddenly forced all clients to migrate to Nexcess.net, claiming quality improvement, but it was a sell-out with costly consequences for all its clients. With almost no warning, we had to spend time and client budget to ensure that all kinds of functionality worked, and run the standard SEO tests to be sure that all SEO value and performance was migrated. The latter work is a crucial part of migrating to a new web host; a substantial percent of the work by search marketing firms like mine is ensuring that such migrations cause no losses. A couple of the clients' websites got hacked separately from the huge September web-wide hack that afflicted hundreds of thousands of WordPress sites. Then, a couple of weeks ago, we learned that the entire Nexcess web host got hacked, which we discovered when sleuthing down-time for some of our clients. I asked a great lawyer I've long known about legal action, and he felt that the provable financial losses and the complexity of proof made legal action unlikely to succeed. However, I've often wondered how class action suits proceed. If hundreds or thousands of websites are impacted, the accumulated losses may be worth the effort by a great class action law firm. Once my firm (DISC) completes migrating our own website from Nexcess (last in line), I plan to at least post negative reviews in a few top sites. I just feel that such feedback is a civic obligation, even though I don't have time for it now. Likewise, I feel a civic obligation to leave good reviews, as when the local AAA did a great job of redressing a big mistake in a towing delay. DISC has long worked with a small local tech group with great chops (Computer Science degrees, experience), and they have put together web hosting packages to which my firm is moving our clients. This Nubbernaut Studios is currently upgrading their website, but meanwhile their brief overview may interest some here: https://nubbernaut.com/website-services. While I can?t guarantee their performance, NU is the best option DISC has found. (Though DISC offers finder?s fees, we never accept them or any kickbacks from people or firms we recommend, as that would impugn our objectivity--we just want our clients to prosper and benefit from the search marketing work we do.) Below is a copy of a relevant part of an email I sent to this list on 12/21: Below is my original advisory from ~3 years ago, followed by an excellent, recent 7-minute video by my firm's CEO Jack Fox and Nubbernaut Studios, explaining the "7 layers" problem and solutions to one of our clients: The 7 Layers of a Website To understand why dedicated monthly website-tech management is vital, it helps to glimpse the connected layers beneath content managers? typical interactions with a website. I?ll use WordPress (WP) as an example, but this synopsis applies variously to all website platforms. 1. The top layer is where you add content. 2. Beneath that is a layer of plugins or other third-party apps and connections. This and the above layer often break when crucial WP upgrades are rolled out a few times per year. 3. Lower still is the database holding not only visible content in pages and posts, but also user profiles and passwords, client or customer logins, and variously secure connections to layers above and below. 4. Supporting the above layers and connecting to the server foundation is a tech management layer often called cPanel. It is open source and often upgraded automatically, and such upgrades can damage other layers and break automatic back-up systems. This layer often has entrances left over from past webmasters? work, via the likes of FTP. It also offers admin panels for most aspects of email management, domain name associations, and other vital functions of your website. 5. Some web hosts offer access to yet a deeper layer, often called WHM (Web Host Management). My recent spelunking there shows a byzantine array of settings often pre-set and sometimes changed willy-nilly by cheap hosting plans at the likes of GoDaddy. Options in this setup, like caching and CDN services, can have major impact on security, SEO, site speed, and other functions. 6. Finally, there?s the server itself, which is set-up by web hosts (or clients? in-house IT people). I?ve never been inside there, and just peering over the misty edge into that abyss is terrifying. 7. Another layer that wraps around all of the above is the human layer. People working in and on the site often unwittingly do damage, and, given the compounding complexity of websites, even excellent tech pros can make mistakes that impair function and SEO performance. Those layers change over time, and sometimes, like tectonic plates, they can rupture, causing lots of screaming and running for help. One among many consequences is declining site speed, and Google is constantly making speed more of a ranking factor, never mind the vital role of speed in conversion rate optimization (CRO).

Within a few years I switched to another company that sold VMs, where you essentially get an empty machine, Windows or Linux, and you build out what you need. Haven't turned back since. I first used Viux.com, then EnterHost.com, and have since switched to CloudMailStore.com in Michigan. I lease a massive Host Machine (192GB RAM, 1600GB HD in a RAID, 12 quad-core CPUs -- it's a sick machine) into which I created five Virtual Machines (VMs) to hold my various web projects, one of which hosts 350 websites, and another hosts my databases. If you can handle setting up a server to do what you need, it's a far better situation since you get charged only for the box, and not the number of sites held within. If you ever need to move to a new host, simply shut the VM down and copy the file to another Host and spin it up there. The beauty of this is the only thing that would change is your IP number. A programmer I do a lot of work with uses https://www.colocrossing.com/ and their prices are pretty good, starting at $80/mo. Download and install cPanel yourself and you're off to the races.

Actually 2 types: visible simple forward to new domain, and framed forward where original domain appears as the current domain. Depending on how many domains in question, you might just setup a reseller account - their prices are pretty decent for wholesale and don't require high volumes - of course if you have high volumes you get better prices.

I would stick with the same registrar as the original domain to keep things in one place, assuming they aren't already overcharging. If they don't have a simple interface for this, you can use another registrar, as others have suggested, or point the domains to the same server as the primary domain and set them up to redirect using the hosting control panel (like cPanel) or manually in the .htaccess file. If this is for Northampton Open Media, I'd be happy to help with this free of charge.

You had mentioned using AWS which hopefully means that you are comfortable at the command-line. DH offers shell access and gives you control of which domain runs under which user. The caveat here is that they have some resource usage throttling that is measured by user. Depending on the traffic your sites get, you might be better off under one of their VPS offerings. Their VPS product mimics the shared hosting as far as administration so migrating from one to the other is fairly seamless. The only shortfall there compared to other VPS hosting is lack of root access. If you're really comfortable managing a server, DigitalOcean offers VPS with root - AWS lite of sorts. Their smallest VPS is only $5/mo. I run 2 PBXs and a dev server on 3 separate instances with no problems. Finally, if you're looking for tried-and-true shared hosting, I recommend a cPanel host. As long as its not too locked down, you'll be able to run all of the domains under a single account and share code from a central location. I work with a cPanel-based host, bSquare Web (https://bsquareweb.com/) as a part time sysadmin and web developer. It's a small operation but they own physical machines colocated at a local (to them) data center and run hundreds of client sites. Can you provide more details about the shared logic that you're talking about? I might be able to give some advice on that as well.

Their explanation of its benefits accords with what Jeff said. It seems the best model for hosting is to pay a pro or firm expert in web host server config, maintenance and proactive security. This is the model clearly propounded by Jeff, NU and Mik of Montague WebWorks. I often use the analogy that in web tech and web marketing, predicting the path is like using a map to chart non-interstate ways to get from NY to Miami--many turns to be factored in real-world time/cost. But when you actually take the trip, it's like walking barefoot along the coast the whole way. Professional web host management get you back on the map.

Recommending generally available themes/plugins (not including the cost of those) ??? ??? Reasonable response time, not rushed while not more that 2-3 months either. I am looking for comments are to what an effort like this would cost, these is not relatively small budget, rather small projects. Hourly rates by themselves not helpful - total cost is question, although component breakout would be useful This is not a request for a quote, although it is an opportunity to get on my list of to get details from for specific projects. Note: this would also give me a chance to update the Hidden-tech directory as to graphic developers. And please do no respond with anything visual although URLs are welcome. For current timing, sooner would be better - at least one of these is part of a grant proposal that needs to be included by Feb 5th (coming Fri) Stay well all - Rich -- Rich Roth CEO TnR Global Bio and personal blog: http://rizbang.com Building the really big sites: http://www.tnrglobal.com Small/Soho business in the PV: http://www.hidden-tech.net Places to meet for business: http://www.meetmewhere.com And for Arts and relaxation: http://TarotMuertos.com - Artistic Tarot Deck http://www.welovemuseums.com http://www.artonmytv.com/ Helping move the world: http://www.earththrives.com From tech at montaguewebworks.com Sat Jan 30 18:54:46 2021 From: tech at montaguewebworks.com (Michael Muller) Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2021 13:54:46 -0500 Subject: [Hidden-tech] Fwd: Fwd: Seeking Salesforce developer In-Reply-To: <9F5159A8-AB87-44DC-B633-5A8E8C217A85@gmail.com> References: <9F5159A8-AB87-44DC-B633-5A8E8C217A85@gmail.com> Message-ID: Posting for Just Roots.

If you're tired of your digs or want a real office away from your home office for solo work or cozy meetings, try this: - No long-term lease. Beautifully furnished space for sublet 1-3 days a week. - Private bathroom, private entry and exit, private waiting room. Strong Wi-Fi. - The historic building in downtown Northampton at 43 Center Street has invested in a covid inspector. The system for air quality is safe with each office having its own airflow and the public spaces having a CDC-approved filter that is changed every month. - The building also has its own security system. - Monthly rent is sliding scale negotiable from $150-350 depending on how many days you want it.
