Supply chain attacks getting wild these days.

Man, sorry for overquoting, but speaking of something we can't access :)

Not only have comedies disappeared from the screen because God forbid anyone gets offended, but now we gotta tiptoe around the Tin Man's feelings too. And who do I complain to if it calls me a meatbag? :)

It's good at free whisper model for free voice input :) It is already. Is it not?

Free and paid VPNs are another major source. Barely anyone reads their terms, but they should :) Users often unknowingly consent to having their network connection used as an exit_node/proxy.

Well, it depends. A close friend of mine has been making money trading on the NYSE for 15 years(intraday). Not a single red month (I've seen it myself). Maybe it’s luck. But I know he’s not the only one in his prop firm. And they don't keep losers.

When you build a SaaS, are you trying to come up with something completely new? How do you choose what to build?

If you're living in a first- or even second-world country, just forget about it. You'll end up in prison.

Don't overlook network-level fingerprints. If your User-Agent claims Windows/Chrome, but your TCP/IP packet profile reveals a Linux kernel, the mismatch is obvious. DNS leaks must also be prevented, ensuring no direct requests expose your actual location. Furthermore, if the proxy IP is...

You basically answered your own question there. But in general, profiling is what will help you out. You should look into profiling both PHP itself(using Xdebug), mysql and the system (DTrace, etc.).

I stick to DO (DigitalOcean) for staging/testing and use Hostinger for my permanent, production sites. One quick tip for Hostinger: they are good, but keep an eye on the final price. The VAT has a habit of sneaking up on you out of nowhere :)

Did you expect people to hand you their money-making methods on a silver platter? Everyone wants a secret trick to just click a button and get paid. But the reality is just a simple process: 1. Figure out your "unknown unknowns" in a niche. 2. Learn about them. 3. Test a bit of everything. 4...

Yeah. Actually, I might be facing this for the second time soon. It’s just part of the game when you don't work a 9-5. But I'd still rather make a volatile 60k-200k a year than a safe $50k. Age is a huge factor in these situations, though. When you're 25, you can grind 100 hours a week and be...
