can you tell us all the plugins / ad blockers you use

on desktop, uBlock Origin (NOT Adblock Plus! they sold out years ago! they literally take money from advertisers to make sure their ads get through their filters!) and SponsorBlock for Firefox. if you still see ads on youtube specifically check out this page. if it's green, then the problem is with your specific installation and you should check out this reddit megathread. if it's red, then tough luck, wait a few hours for uBlock's crack team of hackers to catch back up in their constant arms race with Youtube.

for Android, get ReVanced Manager from here and use that + an .apk download of the latest Youtube release (just google "youtube apk") to patch yourself together a version of the Youtube app that acts like you paid for Advanced even though you didn't, which means no ads. also, side tangent, that's where the name comes from: originally it was just "Youtube Vanced" because it was "Advanced" without the "ad"s. then the Vanced team got slapped with a C&D for being dumbasses and minting NFTs of the Vanced logo, which was literally just the Youtube logo, so ReVanced rose from the ashes to continue its legacy. oh also there are a shitload of boxes you can check off during the patching process and one of them just integrates Sponsorblock for you, so that's nice.

i should also mention here, for no reason in particular, that the Vanced Manager app lets you patch a number of other apps in the same way, removing ads and adding "premium" features without you having to pay. one of these apps may or may not be Tumblr itself.

as long as you're fucking with your Android, download xManager and use it to get ad-free Spotify without paying for it. iirc the app auto-downloads the apk for you but it's been months since i last fucked with it so i might be misremembering.

honorary mention goes to NewPipe for being a way easier to install alternative to all of the above if you don't care about logging in. it's an alternate frontend for youtube that lets you watch it ad-free right out of the box. the main drawbacks are that the UI is a little ugly (especially compared to the official/ReVanced version), you can't use Sponsorblock, and it doesn't sync with your Google account (this could be a plus for you if you're big into privacy but personally i like having my likes and watch history synced across desktop and mobile). although now that i just did some research to make sure i wasn't talking out my ass, it looks like the original dev is working on a forked version of the app named Tubular that does have Sponsorblock and is apparently trying to get google account stuff working, so that's cool. oh and it can also browse/play Soundcloud ad-free, if you still use Soundcloud in 2024

Hypothetical Decentralised Social Media Protocol Stack

if we were to dream up the Next Social Media from first principles we face three problems. one is scaling hosting, the second is discovery/aggregation, the third is moderation.

hosting

hosting for millions of users is very very expensive. you have to have a network of datacentres around the world and mechanisms to sync the data between them. you probably use something like AWS, and they will charge you an eye-watering amount of money for it. since it's so expensive, there's no way to break even except by either charging users to access your service (which people generally hate to do) or selling ads, the ability to intrude on their attention to the highest bidder (which people also hate, and go out of their way to filter out). unless you have a lot of money to burn, this is a major barrier.

the traditional internet hosts everything on different servers, and you use addresses that point you to that server. the problem with this is that it responds poorly to sudden spikes in attention. if you self-host your blog, you can get DDOSed entirely by accident. you can use a service like cloudflare to protect you but that's $$$. you can host a blog on a service like wordpress, or a static site on a service like Github Pages or Neocities, often for free, but that broadly limits interaction to people leaving comments on your blog and doesn't have the off-the-cuff passing-thought sort of interaction that social media does.

the middle ground is forums, which used to be the primary form of social interaction before social media eclipsed them, typically running on one or a few servers with a database + frontend. these are viable enough, often they can be run with fairly minimal ads or by user subscriptions (the SomethingAwful model), but they can't scale indefinitely, and each one is a separate bubble. mastodon is a semi-return to this model, with the addition of a means to use your account on one bubble to interact with another ('federation').

the issue with everything so far is that it's an all-eggs-in-one-basket approach. you depend on the forum, instance, or service paying its bills to stay up. if it goes down, it's just gone. and database-backend models often interact poorly with the internet archive's scraping, so huge chunks won't be preserved.

scaling hosting could theoretically be solved by a model like torrents or IPFS, in which every user becomes a 'server' for all the posts they download, and you look up files using hashes of the content. if a post gets popular, it also gets better seeded! an issue with that design is archival: there is no guarantee that stuff will stay on the network, so if nobody is downloading a post, it is likely to get flushed out by newer stuff. it's like link rot, but it happens automatically.

IPFS solves this by 'pinning': you order an IPFS node (e.g. your server) not to flush a certain file so it will always be available from at least one source. they've sadly mixed this up in cryptocurrency, with 'pinning services' which will take payment in crypto to pin your data. my distaste for a technology designed around red queen races aside, I don't know how pinning costs compare to regular hosting costs.

theoretically you could build a social network on a backbone of content-based addressing. it would come with some drawbacks (posts would be immutable, unless you use some indirection to a traditional address-based hosting) but i think you could make it work (a mix of location-based addressing for low-bandwidth stuff like text, and content-based addressing for inline media). in fact, IPFS has the ability to mix in a bit of address-based lookup into its content-based approach, used for hosting blogs and the like.

as for videos - well, BitTorrent is great for distributing video files. though I don't know how well that scales to something like Youtube. you'd need a lot of hard drive space to handle the amount of Youtube that people typically watch and continue seeding it.

aggregation/discovery

the next problem is aggregation/discovery. social media sites approach this problem in various ways. early social media sites like LiveJournal had a somewhat newsgroup-like approach, you'd join a 'community' and people would post stuff to that community. this got replaced by the subscription model of sites like Twitter and Tumblr, where every user is simultaneously an author and a curator, and you subscribe to someone to see what posts they want to share.

this in turn got replaced by neural network-driven algorithms which attempt to guess what you'll want to see and show you stuff that's popular with whatever it thinks your demographic is. that's gotta go, or at least not be an intrinsic part of the social network anymore.

it would be easy enough to replicate the 'subscribe to see someone's recommended stuff' model, you just need a protocol for pointing people at stuff. (getting analytics such as like/reblog counts would be more difficult!) it would probably look similar to RSS feeds: you upload a list of suitably formatted data, and programs which speak that protocol can download it.

the problem of discovery - ways to find strangers who are interested in the same stuff you are - is more tricky. if we're trying to design this as a fully decentralised, censorship-resistant network, we face the spam problem. any means you use to broadcast 'hi, i exist and i like to talk about this thing, come interact with me' can be subverted by spammers. either you restrict yourself entirely to spreading across a network of curated recommendations, or you have to have moderation.

moderation

moderation is one of the hardest problems of social networks as they currently exist. it's both a problem of spam (the posts that users want to see getting swamped by porn bots or whatever) and legality (they're obliged to remove child porn, beheading videos and the like). the usual solution is a combination of AI shit - does the robot think this looks like a naked person - and outsourcing it to poorly paid workers in (typically) African countries, whose job is to look at reports of the most traumatic shit humans can come up with all day and confirm whether it's bad or not.

for our purposes, the hypothetical decentralised network is a protocol to help computers find stuff, not a platform. we can't control how people use it, and if we're not hosting any of the bad shit, it's not on us. but spam moderation is a problem any time that people can insert content you did not request into your feed.

possibly this is where you could have something like Mastodon instances, with their own moderation rules, but crucially, which don't host the content they aggregate. so instead of having 'an account on an instance', you have a stable address on the network, and you submit it to various directories so people can find you. by keeping each one limited in scale, it makes moderation more feasible. this is basically Reddit's model: you have topic-based hubs which people can subscribe to, and submit stuff to.

the other moderation issue is that there is no mechanism in this design to protect from mass harassment. if someone put you on the K*w*f*rms List of Degenerate Trannies To Suicidebait, there'd be fuck all you can do except refuse to receive contact from strangers. though... that's kind of already true of the internet as it stands. nobody has solved this problem.

to sum up

primarily static sites 'hosted' partly or fully on IPFS and BitTorrent

a protocol for sharing content you want to promote, similar to RSS, that you can aggregate into a 'feed'

directories you can submit posts to which handle their own moderation

no ads, nobody makes money off this

honestly, the biggest problem with all this is mostly just... getting it going in the first place. because let's be real, who but tech nerds is going to use a system that requires you to understand fuckin IPFS? until it's already up and running, this idea's got about as much hope as getting people to sign each others' GPG keys. it would have to have the sharp edges sanded down, so it's as easy to get on the Hypothetical Decentralised Social Network Protocol Stack as it is to register an account on tumblr.

but running over it like this... I don't think it's actually impossible in principle. a lot of the technical hurdles have already been solved. and that's what I want the Next Place to look like.

[magnuspirate]

I started a new job. While I was originally looking for Frontend roles, I ended up working as a Full-Stack developer — and I’m really struggling with the Backend part.

I feel slow when I code, and it’s so hard. It’s frustrating. I’m tired and stressed out. I don’t know how to filter all the information I get..my brain is like a sieve.

Still, I want to prove to myself — and to everyone else — that I can code.

Maybe I will make it, because I’m still here, still coding, still trying.

I just have to keep going. And stop being so damn mean to myself.

[mahrico]

Meet me. ;)

Okay, I guess I have to join the crowd and drop a little “About Me” here too. I’ll try to keep it short.

The quick version:

I’ve been coding for ages with (very) long breaks in between. I really got back into it when WoO.de launched, and ever since then I’ve been writing again. Heads up: sometimes I upload older code I don’t even like anymore. It’s outdated and far from my current style but it’s part of the journey, so I still want to share it. Also, don’t be surprised if there’s radio silence for months… and then suddenly I drop five codes in a day because the random energy hit like a truck.

Stuff worth knowing about my code:

I’m a future software developer, planning to specialize in frontend — because why not turn your hobby into a job, right?

Since there are still people out there who feel the need to steal snippets (and not just a little)… without giving credit: shame on you. I will find you. 😉 So please ... leave the credits intact. My code = my promotion. Of course, you can’t always prevent theft, but I do sneak in things I’ll definitely notice.

Commissions?

Yes, absolutely open to it! That said, I don’t really have a “name” yet and have mostly lurked in the coding community… so no requests have landed in my inbox so far. But I’m all about high quality and clean usability. I want my code to work with you not make you rage-quit while trying to plug in your own content.

hit me up on ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mahrico

P.S.: I can do anything.

Yeah, sounds cocky, but it is what it is. If HTML/CSS can do it, we’re doing it. JavaScript? That’s trickier. WoX tends to filter it out randomly, so you never really know what’s gonna survive. Classic.

Requests?

Sure, hit me up! No promises on actually building it but sometimes I’m short on inspiration, and I’d love to hear your ideas ;D

Advice for making stuff work well in Debian?

Hmm, most of the troubleshooting I do is weird architecture issues that won't impact anyone running Debian for x64 but off the top of my head

If you know exactly what package you want, command line package manager use is just fine, but GUI frontends are pretty nice for searching through things if you want to actually read some details on what you're installing. Yeah you can just use debian's web-based apt stuff but it's not convenient to do that. Using a frontend is convenient.

This is non-debian-specific advice but most of the time if I need to do something more complex than like, crop an image or maybe put a color filter on it, I just use photopea because it being online means it works on just about anything. It's not quite as advanced as Photoshop but most of the capabilities it lacks are rather small and niche, as opposed to like "You can't do outlined text" (thanks GIMP) (Also you can run whatever image editor in wine if you want and if you have a better computer than I currently do (rip to my good one) it's worth giving a go. Sometimes you need to do some config but lovely linux users on the internet will often give you the exact settings you need to get the program working :))

MComix is a good CBZ viewer

If you install imagemagick, it may change or mess up your settings for default image viewer. imagemagick is a divine and beautiful program but its image viewer totally sucks so change it back if it does this.

This is mostly fairly specific huh.... Most of the time my computer Just Works for me. I can do troubleshooting for a great many issues but generalized advice is a little harder X'D

Let's talk about filtering and mapping! 🤓

I'm working on the menu page for a restaurant, and as someone with very little frontend experience I wasn't sure how to go about parsing through a JSON file to return certain objects.

After some searching, procrastinating, going through this course, and then more searching - I finally came across the documentation I needed here!

So what is filtering and mapping? .filter() and .map() are JavaScript methods.

filter allows you to filter through an array of objects given some logic (want to find all the items with an id greater than 7? filter. Want to find all the items where the name is equal to "burger" that works too, want to add multiple conditions to find all the items with and id greater than 7 AND the name is "burger" well filter has got your back).

map is used to iterate through an array and call a function on every element in it. I used it to map each item to a list.

Here's an example: We have a JSON file of some food items.

We want to grab all the desserts from our menu and display them on the desserts page of our website. It's time to filter!

Keep in mind that the filter method returns a new array with all the objects that we want. In this case when we filter we will get an array with all the desserts.

First we import our JSON file so we can access it.

Next, we create a constant called dessertFilter which will hold our filtered array. dessertFilter will hold all items that have the type equal to dessert. In our example it will hold the chocolate cake object.

Next, we map each item from the new array to a list. This is the list that we'll see displayed on the page. You can choose which properties you want to map. We only map the name, description and price since there's no need for the user to see the item type or id.

Lastly, our return statement contains everything we will see on the page. In our return we have a header and the list of items - we wrap our list, dessertItems in an unordered list since list items need to be wrapped in either an ordered or unordered list.

Here's our result! We can style this with css later.

Cool! so we filtered for dessert but what about our other menu items? Time to make a reusable component.

The code is almost the same, but to make this component reusable we create an interface. Interfaces define objects and specify their properties. We specify an object called filterSearch that will act as a placeholder - we set it as a string since the item "types" in our JSON file are strings. (I'm using typescript which accepts interfaces but i believe vanilla javascript does not).

Now lets see the component in action

Import the component so we can call it.

When we call FilterMenu we have to include filterSearch from our interface. The component needs to know what we're looking for. Here we can set it to any valid type like "dessert", "drink", or "appetizer" and it will display them.

Woo! now we're filtering and mapping with one line of code! and we can reuse it for our other pages too.

Last thing, these methods are chainable! you can connect them and have the same logic in one constant.

Before reading the documentation, I had seperate JSON files for each menu category and was reusing the same code to map each file on each individual menu page. It was a lot of duplicate code, not great. Now, I have a single JSON file and a reusable component. It's satisying how clean it is!

Learning on your own can be frustrating sometimes, it can be hard to search for solutions when you don't know where to begin. I had never heard of filtering or mapping before this. If you're ever stuck keep pushing! there's so many resources and communities out there.

p.s. I'm open to any suggestions!

[t-ierrahumeda]

I made a filter in react. I feel I accomplished my frontend duties for today (I know nothing of react)

[ryjelsum]

also i say 'nothing' there but as mentioned wafrn is pretty close to tumblr with its UI. its client seems to be home grown and not re-implementing the mastodon client api like a lot of other fedi software does so unfortunately i cannot use it for my purposes which would be 'hacking out the frontend and using gotosocial as the backend because gotosocial is the least stupid and most stable fedi software'. i have time to find stuff though, gotosocial is missing a lot of what i'd say are key features (which are partially implemented serverside on most fedi clients because mastodon is stupid and they decided to do that, i guess to keep filters synced) and i'd probably want to wait until it supports most post types as well as post filtering before i open up a public instance using it unless people are fine alpha testing that shit along with me

How Custom Alert Thresholds Improve Incident Response Times

In today’s always-on digital world, downtime and performance lags are more than just technical glitches—they’re business risks. Every second a website is down or a service is slow can lead to lost revenue, decreased user satisfaction, and a tarnished reputation. To mitigate these risks, proactive monitoring is essential. But not all monitoring is created equal.

One of the most powerful yet underused features in monitoring platforms is the custom alert threshold. This blog explores what custom thresholds are, why they matter, and how setting them correctly can dramatically improve incident response times.

1. What Are Custom Alert Thresholds?

Custom alert thresholds are personalized conditions you define in your monitoring system that determine when an alert should be triggered. Instead of using default settings (like “alert if downtime exceeds 1 minute”), you configure the system to watch for behaviors specific to your application, infrastructure, or business priorities.

Examples include:

Triggering an alert if server CPU usage exceeds 85% for more than 3 minutes

Alerting if page load time surpasses 2.5 seconds for users in Europe

Notifying if a specific API returns a 500 error more than twice in 60 seconds

These tailored rules ensure alerts are meaningful, timely, and relevant.

2. Why Default Alerts Often Fall Short

Most monitoring platforms come with default alerting rules. While these are a good start, they’re too generic for high-performance systems:

Too sensitive: You get flooded with alerts for minor, non-impactful issues—leading to alert fatigue.

Too slow: Default thresholds may wait too long before notifying you, delaying resolution.

Not contextual: They don’t factor in regional differences, service-level agreements (SLAs), or traffic patterns specific to your business.

As a result, teams either ignore alerts or act too late.

3. How Custom Thresholds Improve Incident Response Times

a) Reduced Alert Noise

Custom thresholds allow you to filter out minor fluctuations and false positives. Your team only receives alerts that indicate real problems, helping them respond faster without distractions.

b) Faster Root Cause Identification

By tying alerts to specific metrics or services (e.g., database latency or regional API failures), teams can pinpoint where the problem lies immediately—saving valuable triage time.

c) Prioritized Responses Based on Severity

With custom thresholds, you can tier alerts by urgency. For instance:

Critical: Response time > 5s for 95% of users

Warning: Error rate increases 10% over 5 minutes This structure helps ops teams focus on the most pressing issues first.

d) Improved Collaboration

Different teams (DevOps, backend, frontend, security) can set and receive alerts relevant to their roles. This reduces cross-team confusion and speeds up coordinated incident response.

e) Better SLA Management

For companies with strict uptime and performance SLAs, custom thresholds ensure you catch issues before they breach contractual limits.

4. Real-World Example: E-commerce During a Flash Sale

Imagine an e-commerce site running a flash sale. Traffic surges from 1,000 to 20,000 users in minutes.

Default monitoring might alert you only after response times exceed 10 seconds globally. But by then, dozens of users may have abandoned their carts.

With custom thresholds:

You set alerts for a response time increase of >2 seconds in any region

You monitor checkout API latency specifically

You alert on inventory update failures

These proactive, specific alerts help your team respond before major fallout occurs.

5. Best Practices for Setting Custom Alert Thresholds

Know Your Baselines: Understand normal system behavior across different times and regions.

Avoid Over-Alerting: Don’t set thresholds too low or aggressive.

Use Historical Data: Look at past incidents to define meaningful trigger points.

Segment by Region or Service: One threshold doesn’t fit all. Monitor regionally or by service group.

Test and Adjust: Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of your alert thresholds.

6. How WebStatus247 Helps

Platforms like WebStatus247 offer powerful custom alerting features:

Set regional and metric-specific thresholds

Get alerts via email, SMS, Slack, or Telegram

Monitor real-time uptime, SSL, cron jobs, and domain status

View threshold-based performance history over time

This ensures fast, efficient incident response and better control over digital performance.

7. Conclusion

Custom alert thresholds are not just a technical preference—they’re a strategic necessity. They empower your teams to react faster, smarter, and with greater focus. In a world where seconds can mean millions, precision monitoring through customized alerts isn’t just nice to have—it’s business-critical.

Make the switch from reactive to proactive. Set smart thresholds. Respond in real time. Keep your users happy—and your operations smooth.

Best Practices for API Integration in Next.js Apps

Modern web applications thrive on seamless, efficient, and secure API communication. Whether it's pulling data from a CMS, connecting with a payment gateway, or interacting with a cloud service, API integration is at the core of every high-performance Next.js app.

Next.js, with its server-side capabilities and built-in API routes, offers a flexible environment for creating and consuming APIs. But with flexibility comes the responsibility of integration best practices especially when dealing with sensitive data or mission-critical services.

Why Next.js Is Built for API-Driven Applications

Next.js offers both server-side and client-side rendering, making it ideal for hybrid API workflows. Developers can:

Use getServerSideProps() or getStaticProps() for SSR/SSG-based data fetching.

Utilize /api routes to implement backend logic directly within the app.

Take advantage of built-in middleware for authentication, error handling, and request filtering.

This architectural flexibility is why SaaS companies can scale frontend with Next.js, particularly when their APIs need to serve both dynamic dashboards and SEO-friendly landing pages.

Best Practices for Integrating APIs in Next.js

1. Centralize API Logic

Avoid scattering fetch calls across components. Instead, centralize them using a services directory or a custom hook (useApi) for consistency and maintainability.

2. Use Environment Variables

Secure API keys and sensitive data by using .env.local. Never hardcode tokens in the frontend codebase.

3. Handle Errors Gracefully

Build resilient error handling using try/catch blocks and conditionally render UI based on the state of the API response.

4. Use SWR or React Query

For client-side API calls, libraries like SWR (by Vercel) or React Query help manage caching, loading states, and automatic revalidation.

5. Secure Your APIs

Whether you're calling third-party APIs or building your own endpoints within the Next.js /api folder, security is critical. Learn how to ensure REST API security to prevent unauthorized access, data leaks, and common vulnerabilities like CSRF and XSS.

When Should You Hire an Expert?

As your application scales and API complexities increase especially with third-party integrations, real-time data, or sensitive business logic it’s beneficial to hire Next.js developers who are skilled in scalable architectures, secure integrations, and performance optimization.

Final Thoughts

APIs are the arteries of modern web apps. When combined with the server-side strengths of Next.js, your frontend becomes more powerful, reactive, and tailored to user needs. By following these best practices, you’re not only creating better experiences, you're building a scalable, secure, and resilient application foundation.
