Any idiot can make a site secure by serving up static content and web forms, but managing that content can be a big job. Making changes across a large site is a big job.
I guess we have different versions of "big job." Install WordPress internally. Let the internal devops idiots go wild. Run a script nightly that generates static content, pushes it in to a repository (like svn) for history, and then pushes it live. They break something and run a script to roll back SVN in push the last version live again while they fix it. Rocket science...
(Oh shut up about git being better. No need for anyone to fork it... It is a backup!)
I jest went through "Smallwall" and "pfSense" training...
Now where did you find SmallWall training? Because they do not have any. Not by them anyway. You may have taken some MOCC somewhere, but SmallWall didn't do it. So I am going to have to call bullshit, Mr. AC.
Yeah, Chris is talented as hell. (And actually a super nice guy.) But that is not a small amount of work. Also, there is a slight difference in that pfSense by default does not actually have a shell. That makes it a bit easier since you do not have the typical method of launching commands. (You can, but it is non-trivial)
Why? Seriously, why does the site need to be dynamic? Could you do what you need with a static site with a few dynamic pages? Thinking this way is how security works. Just going with some package downloaded off the Internet is how major compromises work.
Does not have to be. Several very secure and respected firewalls (m0n0wall, SmallWall, t1n1wall, pfSense, OPNsense) use PHP and do not have these problems. Of course, programming securely is hard...
Offline. There is no way to secure WordPress for any length of time, so use it as a static site generator and post that. (Or Drupal, or anything else) More security and less resources needed.
Density is now up to and surpassing "spinning rust" and durability is arguably as good or better. But price per gig is not quite there yet. However, I suspect it is coming!
If it bothers you, an inexpensive software package can fix it in your home. However, having to fix websites all over the world because you do not want to pay for netnanny is idiotic.
Show me some websites making money from selling pollution... Show me some people actively looking to consume new pollution. I think you have confused a product with waste. Admittedly, in porn that can be easy. (Scat)
And frankly, anyone who'd argue that "Watch your own damn kids" is the right answer neither has kids...
You think that perhaps that might be the reason they do not want to raise your damn kids?
But actually, since I am the OP, I should be more clear. I am totally OK with raising my kids, but I do not want to raise yours. And frankly, based on our differences of opinion, you really do not want me to raise your kids either.
Then, at the end of all this effort for dubious reward... what about the porn sites hosted outside of the UK? That's only most of them that won't have to comply with any of these laws.
You haven't been watching how things work now have you? The US is doing everything they can to stop Slysoft from selling AnyDVD in Antigua where it is not only legal, but where Antigua has the legal right to disregard US copyright granted them by the WTO. Yes, the UK will go after US porn sites.
Meanwhile you torrent your porn anyway so your objection is "on principle" rather than being a practical issue for you anyway.
Actually, I am an IT professional who will have to deal with this stupid law in the US all so some idiot in the UK can feel that they have "dome something" to "protect the children."
This is not even approved yet. It is just a broad application to patent the computer.:) When the rest of the world is going towards compute sticks and NUCs.
My buzzspeak is a little rusty, but this sounds suspiciously like "Beat monkeys to code faster, send code out the door without testing, and just let the users figure it out". Did something get lost in translation?
From the bugs in groups, and the vast drop in traffic to the same, I think you hit the nail on the head! They hit the nail with their head...

Or, let Darwin free!
I need to set up a dynamic site...

No, WordPress is still insecure as shit on FreeBSD.
The problem with idiot proofing things is that they keep coming out with better idiots.
Name a better CMS.

No need. We will always need more space. If only for the constant Windows updates...

God, I would LOVE to see their lobbyists!

Um... Which town?
My experience is that those who are interested in looking at porn are old enough to look at it.
These days, they seem to be old enough to make it too, so I doubt they can cut off the source...
Hey Wipsplash,
Can we finally do away with these stupid British stories that Timothy posts every single night?
Thanks, AC.
You don't think they will try to force American Porn sites to comply? You really believe they will ignore PornHub?
How about this... Watch your own damn kids and quit trying to child proof my world.
Snowcrash fan?

Turning off Windows Update is a terrible practice
True, but lately, so is leaving it on...
