 | I don't. All of the content on DaniWeb is user-generated, so I have very little control over the words that appear on each page. Years and years and years ago, back when backlinks weren't banned by Google, I used to be a little intentional when it came to keywords in …  |
 | What are some best practices for optimizing memory management when working with large datasets? I am tagging this topic both with php (because that is my language of choice, and the one I work with big data with) as well as c++ (because I know DaniWeb has a large low …  |
| | My experience is that AT&T fiber for residential use does allow servers and does not block ports. I used to have Verizon FiOS which, also, did not block ports, but that was a business account and so under different rules. Spectrum and Optimum Online business accounts also didn’t block, but … |
 | Don't forget that if you are not going with an out-of-the-box solution, such as Mailchimp, Sendgrid, etc., that you will need to clean the list on your own! That means purging bounced addresses, purging addresses that don't interact with your emails, etc. |
| | > Presumably bumping every "coinflip" post to spam their URL Nothing wrong with that!! I'll take a trillion helpful posts if all someone wants in exchange is a free signature link back to their website (that only shows up for logged in members, so no SEO incentive).  |
| | > Which digital marketing tactics gave you the most ROI early on? Purchasing backlinks, by far. But it was 2003 and Google didn't have a policy against doing it at the time. We live in a completely different world today. I wouldn't recommend it. > Are there any tools or … |
| | You shouldn't really need anything more than a Quickbooks account. |
| | I use Github for DaniWeb's code base. I was just wondering though. How secure is it? Would you ever store passwords or other sensitive information in Github (Don't worry. We use .gitignore.)? What about code that could be considered a trade secret, or that type of thing? |
 | Because Google doesn’t think your website has enough to offer, has a strong enough brand name, is not spammy, etc. Create high quality, non-AI generated content, and build backlinks pointing to your site. Also, if you have not already done so, create a Google Search Console account. |
| | This is something that I've really struggled with ever since DaniWeb stopped being able to afford Google Ads. Social media tends to not work as well for us because most of the questions people ask on here are so niche that they really are only relevant when people do a … |
| | While that's all true, I can't help but wonder if this is AI-generated content? Whether or not it is, you pretty much nailed it, so I'm not quite sure if you have a question or not that you're asking, or just trying to get a discussion started. |
 | I tried the paid version of Ahrefs for a time, and, at least for my use case, it wasn't worth the money and I downgraded back to the free version. I've never used Semrush. |
| | Sorry to hear. Has Microsoft since released a patch to whatever update was causing the BSOD? |
 | I am confused when you say the HTML time picker input box can be set to 20:00 for time in and 5:00 for time out, because `<input type="time" ...>` only allows the end-user to specify a time, not a time and date combination. Should it always be assumed that if … |
 | > Giving you some reputation so you won’t get flagged by the spam bot anymore Oops! I tried, but I’m in bed feeling unwell today (one of my bad days, I’m afraid) and didn’t realize this was posted in the off-topic lounge, which doesn’t award reputation. |
| | A friend in the SEO industry (Jim Boykin) used to have a Delorean he bought off of EBay with the license plate TIMECAR. He’s since sold it, unfortunately. |
| | Not too long ago, I ditched a suuuuuper expensive ~10 year old Dell Precision workstation with like 64 cores or something crazy, multiple video cards, dedicated RAID controller, etc. for a much less expensive M1 Max Macbook Pro. The macbook outperformed the Dell for everything I did by far. |
| | Linux has come a long way, but it's still primarily a server OS, correct? How many of you linux fanboys and girls use it as your primary operating system for daily tasks? How does it compare to Windows or macOS in terms of productivity and overall user experience? |

| | If that’s your thing, there’s nothing illegal or wrong with porn. Lots of people watch it, right? A porn website is definitely on the seedier side of the web, but there’s a lot of money in it and it’s completely legal income. I know a handful of different people, some … |
 | You might want to check out Upwork or Toptal to get freelance development work. May I ask what the code you provided here does? It seems to just be a constructor function with some getters and setters, but is missing the rest of it. Was it written by ChatGPT? |
| | Congrats on the latest release of your software. May I ask what inspired the decision to host the project on Sourceforge instead of GitHub? I rarely see well-maintained projects on sourceforge these days, sadly. |
| | Hello there and welcome to DaniWeb! Thank you so much for taking the time to join here. |
| | It has to do with the type of website that is trying to gain traffic. However, for the most part, content sites are pretty frustrated that AI bots are scraping all of their content and then using it to directly answer a searcher's question, without the searcher ever having to … |
| | Why don’t you tell us since you’re a Sharepoint compliance manager according to your profile? |
 | What management API? |
| | Probably this is me just venting more than anything, but has anyone had success in getting in touch with someone from Cloudflare billing? Cloudflare recently charged us a boatload of money for Argo accelerated traffic that was the result of a DDoS attack. Cloudflare was able to detect on their … |
 | Hello! Sorry I’m late to welcoming you. :) What have been your impressions of DaniWeb so far? |
| | You could ask [this guy](https://www.daniweb.com/profiles/1010298/bjarne-stroustrup-31) ;) [Here's the full interview](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/interviews/313564/interview-with-bjarne-stroustrup-creator-of-c) |
| | As [you can see here](https://www.daniweb.com/stats/members?country=&filter=&sort=timestamp), we get lots of new members signing up every day, but nearly no one posts. This has been true for decades and decades now. Anyone care to hypothesize why all these people sign up if not to contribute? #Lurker |
| | Locking this topic because it's turned into a bit of a spam fest. Lots of deleted posts that didn't meet our quality guidelines. |
 | Good question. We have multiple web servers that are load balanced, and only 2 database servers in a master/slave setup. I know there are ways to shard the database so you could essentially put different records of a table on different servers, but I personally have no experience with that. … |
| | Hi Tim! Welcome to DaniWeb. Thank you so much for taking the time to join us over here. |
| | How can I identify and delete unused MySQL indexes? I have a large table that has somehow accumulated way too many indexes over the years, and I'd now like to identify and delete indexes that are no longer used by the application. |
| | We used to use Sharepoint way back in the day when DaniWeb had one of those Microsoft subscriptions that gave you access to all license keys. I forget what it used to be called but they don't have it anymore and haven't for many years, as far as I know. … |
 | > checking if MBAMService.exe is abnormal in Task Manager What does that mean?? Abnormal in what way? |
| | Hi Ron and welcome to DaniWeb! Thanks for taking the time to sign up and join us in our little corner of the web. Something tells me that @Reverend Jim and @rproffitt will be along any moment to greet you as well ... ;) |
| | I know that this is probably a hopeless question, but are there any automated scripts that would *reliably* and *automagically* convert my thousands upon thousands of lines of jQuery code into native Javascript? |
| | Thanks for the heads up! I’m able to reproduce it and I’ll look into it shortly. I’m currently still in bed. |
| | Better caching strategies? I don't have any experience with app development, but for web development, I use Redis for these kinds of things. |
 | CDNs such as Cloudflare offer hotlink protection via a toggle switch you could enable. But, yeah, the primary benefit of hotlink protection is that a website doesn't upload images to *your* site, and then include them in their own site without having to pay for the bandwidth of hosting the … |
| | Marking this question as solved. Thanks all! |
| | * Microsoft Office (for macOS) And then to manage DaniWeb: * PhpStorm * Remote Desktop Manager * Viscosity * Screaming Frog SEO Spider |
| | > So you're telling me Sam Web Studio fails at this? I just came across this now (yes, I admit 5 years too late), but yeah, every SEO worth anything is constantly in search of better tools to track the latest algorithm updates. And this is still true 5 years … |
 | > Been coming on daniweb for 20 years, was always such a great place for help and advice. Last time I visited was 4-5 years ago and I noticed then it was getting quieter. Somewhat sorry to see the state of things now, these "most recent" threads are all so … |
 | Salem linked to it (thank you!), but it seems succinct enough that I'm going to include it here in case the link were to disappear in the future. # qemu-img snapshot [ -l | -a snapshot | -c snapshot | -d snapshot ] filename -l: lists all snapshots -a: reverts … |
| | I don't understand your question. What is a project center? Something like Slack or Github that can be used to help manage a team working on a software project? Probably the wrong question for me since I'm a one-woman team. Is this a homework question? I'm so confused why you're … |
 | Hi Steve. Welcome to DaniWeb. What brings you here? |
| | Probably a silly question, but is Argo Smart Routing (the usage-based product) only applicable to content served at the origin? Otherwise, does it makes sense to be spending money to find a more efficient path between the end-user and the edge? Isn't the edge already pretty darn close? |
| | Is the Apple Vision Pro worth it if I already have an Oculus Quest? I'm not a big gamer, but I have my entire wedding recorded in VR, and I love watching mini-movies and shows in 3D VR. My husband is into things like Red Matter. I honestly don't remember … |
The End.
