• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handyman is asking $500 to sand and fill the rot with putty, caulk and paint the door. Is that a fair ask? (NC) (album with multiple photos)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get a new door and frame installed for about the same cost. Once rot sets in, it has to be cut out completely which then further compromises the frame. Putty, caulk, and paint will just slow down the inevitable.

  If you want it done right I’d go ahead and find another handyman who can hang a new door. It’s not a terribly difficult job but steps have to be taken to keep water from ruining the new door frame, it needs to be leveled, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: When you want to learn the facts on a controversial topic, check Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue I’ve come across is vindictive or mean editors who ‘own’ pages and refuse to allow changes to ‘their’ article.

  Case in point, when a rather well-known bishop was convicted of child molestation I edited his article to add that information.

  Boom, reverted, no reasons given.

  Anytime I added the block of information back to the article he or she reverted the changes. Wikipedia was no help, so now I refuse to edit Wikipedia articles or even treat them as factual - too many editors have their own agendas.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Nero has more details on the Alfa Nero.

  And Mariner sauce for dipping.

  I’m in and happy to mod. I’m on a self-hosted instance if that matters any.

  A simple toast message after an applicant signs up, but before the admins approve the application. Currently the applicant is offered no feedback while in this no-person’s land between applying and being approved.

  This is very obvious on the confirm email link. Once you log in, the username and password will disappear, but no feedback is sent to the applicant.

  I would fix it myself but I don’t know rust or inferno.

  TIL, thanks. I wonder why they chose to do it this way.

  In my experience it’s always a tokenized link, no clear text required.

  I’m delighted you get the reference!

  Just wow, yeah. Nothing should ever send you a password in cleartext - once that’s been done, a MITM attack’s success rate just went to 100%.

  It’s painless to use password resets if the person forgot the password. Never, ever should a password be in cleartext.
