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).

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.

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 …

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?

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.

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 …

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

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. …

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 …

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?
