    Indeed, I buried the lede in this post. But I wanted to have fun with such a silly idea, first.

    Thanks, but that's not the port number :-) That was just for illustrative purposes.

    Good sleuthing, but the missing port number is simpler than that. I just blacked it out of the screenshot. I know very well that running sshd on a non-standard port has no benefits…

    Yeah, it's a $5/month DigitalOcean box with only my blog on it and nothing else. All assets come off a CDN and Varnish is sitting in front of WP, but looks like that still wasn't e…

    OP here. I think we're aiming for the same thing - though with slightly different priorities. Of your list of minimums that DefaultApp omits: Not every app adheres to a Document-ba…

    OP here. Thanks for pointing out that omission. It's MIT like all my other stuff. I've updated it.

    OP here. I never installed Catalina (or any recent beta software in years) on my primary machine that I get work done on. My Catalina testing this Summer was explicitly kept to an …

    Been running WP for god knows how long for my personal site, while my company website is built with Jekyll. In June I migrated to Ghost simply to try it and learn more about Node. …

    sigh I switched back to WordPress literally five days ago and haven't yet gotten around to installing a caching plugin. My bad. I've turned Cloudflare caching on in the meantime.

    OP here. Thank you. I have no issues with the tightening of security and permissions on Catalina. In fact, I welcome it both for myself and my aging parents who I want to remain sa…

    http://clickontyler.com/ VirtualHostX was my first app, the one that grew slowly over a few years and then took off. Hostbuddy is a small, companion app that does moderately well. …

    I was in the same situation as you a few years ago. My Mac app was making enough money to be helpful but not quite enough to be worth the trouble. I seriously considered open sourc…

    I've had two offers from companies wanting to buy out VirtualHostX. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), neither company made compelling arguments for me to give up steady, stab…
