WordPress-Simple-History: The Plugin That Turns WordPress Into a Black Box Recorder A deceptively simple audit trail that pairs a flexible event model with a two-table context system, modern PHP architecture, and developer-friendly logging hooks.

Ok, quite impressed with Repo Explainer and what it created for the Simple History repo: repo-explainer.com/bonny/WordPr...

Not sure if this is genius or really stupid, but I'm adding _reactions_ support to my WordPress audit log plugin. It...kinda feels right after testing it myself. To give reactions to stuff other users have done is fun!

Gah, now what? 2 hours until reset.
How to best use that 1%...?

OrbStack · Fast, light, simple Docker & Linux Say goodbye to slow, clunky containers and VMs. The fast, light, and easy way to run containers and Linux. Develop at lightspeed with our Docker Desktop alternative.

Trying out orbstack.dev instead of Docker Desktop. Really liking it! Native app that is easy to use and also very useful. Not like the Docker Desktop app that I never figured out how to use...

Varför ska politiker vara kvar på en polariserande algoritmplattform som Twitter(X)? Twitter (X) förblir den stora plattformen för svenska politiker, men varför ska de vara aktiva på fascisten Elon Musks algoritmplattform som prioriterar polarisering, fascism, högerxtremism, putinis, troll, porr, rasism och valpåverkan till fördel för ytterhögern, och nedprioriterar t ex Ukraina eller progressiva moderna värderingar? Varför ska annat än den svenska högern alls lägga tid på den plattformen?

A couple of times each week I do a little work on an image using the Acorn image editor for Mac. Each time I think about how awesome it is: it opens in a second and it only costs like $20! It's unbelievable good value!

Go get it now!

How WordPress force plugin updates work (and how they are logged in this plugin) A week ago, on a local test website on mine, WooCommerce suddenly got updated. Now this was a bit strange since I do not have auto-update enabled for WooCommerce and I did not perform an update.

WooCommerce suddenly updated itself. A forced auto update? Down the research hole I went!

@nickdiego.com thanks for posting the "Migrating from WordPress to MDX" post. I am planning to do this myself, to be able to work together with Claude more easily. MDX is so cool :)

Working on custom rules and notifications for Simple History. It's gonna be awesome I think + the GUI is gonna be very easy to work with.

How to Catch Plugins Secretly Phoning Home Did you know that according to the WordPress.org plugin guidelines, a plugin is not allowed to track a user without their consent. That’s a good rule that sometimes plugin authors break.

Elementor did an outgoing GET request, without my permission. Without Simple History I would not have known that.

Got Claude Code to format markdown files (and some others) automatically after working with them. Took a while to understand how to get the hooks config correct.

Attaching image of the config, if anyone else is interested.
