Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer 58 Minutes Ago by Ulfson > And where do you usually find your freelance projects? I just notice that I didn't answer that - I'm in the lucky position of never having had to go out to acquire new projects/clients. All clients approached me, or were introduced to me by others. Re: Fujitsu Windows Server 2019 Servers Rebooting at 11pm every day 4 Days Ago by Dani > I have seen too much code written by self-taught programmers who, through ignorance, eschewed good design. While that's very, very true, that's \[unfortunately] not typically what people come to DaniWeb asking for help with. Many people unfortunately don't care about doing things right, but just well enough to work.

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. Edit: ChatGPT reminded me that it was called a TechNet Subscription.

Re: Hi everyone, I'm Ron McLeod 2 Days Ago by Reverend Jim You betcha. Welcome to Daniweb. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer 2 Days Ago by trcooke Well hello there Ulf! It certainly has been a minute since we last spoke, in fact I just dug out the last email conversation that we had just over 10 years ago! Nice to be in touch again.

Create an account, put a link in the profile, but never post anything thus reducing the likelihood of triggering the spam alarms and getting deleted down by the site moderators. It's the back-link on a public facing web page that they want, and for that there's no difference between a forum post … Re: Lots of new members but no one posts 2 Days Ago by Dani > Why do spammers want to sign up? What do they gain from programming forums? A very common, and dare I say well-respected, SEO technique (that is actually vouched for by Google!) is to post in forums to earn backlinks back to your site. The legitimate way of doing it is to find forums and communities relevant to your site, and personally … Re: Lots of new members but no one posts 2 Days Ago by Dani > Profile spam for sweet sweet SEO internet points.

From an actual SEO perspective, there's a very strong difference between a forum post and a profile page (not all pages are created equal), but for the purposes of this discussion, I digress. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer 1 Day Ago by Ulfson > Welcome aboard! Do you build mobile apps with a cross‑platform framework or only stick to native Android/iOS? And where do you usually find your freelance projects? I stick to native Android.

I couldn't even tell you which servers I had accounts on. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer 1 Day Ago by Dani A blast from the past? Didn't Mastodon first gain popularity around 2020ish? When I think of a blast from the past, I think of AOL Instant Messenger and MySpace. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer 1 Day Ago by trcooke I never really connected with it so just feels like a long time ago. But I share you sentiments in general for things of the past, such as the 8086 processor and SCSI disks. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer 1 Day Ago by Ulfson Mastodon is pretty much the only social network I'm on these days (except for nebenan.de, which is similar to Nextdoor, but much more popular here in Germany). Simplifying my online presence, I deleted my Facebook and Nextdoor accounts this year. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer 1 Day Ago by trcooke I've pretty much excluded myself from all social media things because their primary reason for being is to push advertising and propaganda to you, and I don't like it.

Re: Fujitsu Windows Server 2019 Servers Rebooting at 11pm every day 1 Week Ago by NuGG Aha! I cracked it. My goodness this has been driving me mad for two weeks. Turns out previous owners had a power on schedule configured, and the management controller retained the old config even though I put a fresh OS on it. Doh! Live and learn.
