A: How do I implement a redirect in JavaScript There's a number of ways to send the user to another URL in JS (from [1]): ``` // Simulate a mouse click: window.location.href = "http://www.w3schools.com"; // Simulate an HTTP redirect: window.location.replace("http://www.w3schools.com"); ``` However, this is pretty janky. I'd suggest r... (more) |

I don't know the full answer, but the link says:
>However, this does **not** lead to a significant security advantage over basic authentication.
and
>On the other hand, the password storage on the server is much less secure with digest authentication than with basic authentication. Therefore... (more) |

A: How do I back up a WordPress website? I haven't used WordPress in a long time, but it has its own internal functionality for taking backups: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-backups/ This is likely the easiest option. Also, there are apparently third party WordPress plugins that simplify the backup process. (more) |

A: Can I use a domain name I already own with my AWS-hosted website? Yes. If you are hosting it on an EC2, AWS has the Elastic IP service that provides you with a static IP on demand. Amazon docs explain it in detail. Just set up the eIP and point your DNS to that. Note that you may be billed for eIPs, although I believe there is a way to use it for free in a limit... (more) |

I upvoted, but I think it is not useful at this point to talk about "AI generated content". Much ChatGPT output passes the Turing test. Instead, the question is "what stylistic elements impact SEO" and *part of* an answer may be "if the style closely resembles output of popular AIs like ChatGPT, it w... (more) |

A: How do I set up DNS records for home hosting? Some web hosts bundle DNS (pointing domain towards an IP) and hosting (serving the site at some IP) together. Those might have some specialty tools to tie the two together. The usage of those will depend on the host. A more practical way is to purchase the domain separately. You mention `NS` recor...

A: Is it a good idea to host my website at home? It is usually not a good idea to do this. The advent of the Internet was revolutionary in that it allowed anyone with a computer and a modem to self-publish effortlessly. However, in the decades since, major corporations have began to push back on this. Today, "residential internet service" is not co... (more) |

A: Alternative to ironing seams You can try using pressure with a hard object. Just run something like a pen or plastic knife over the edge of the hem while pushing down (probably after sewing). The pressure will create a crease, although not as good as the iron. (more) |

A: Aggregate 404 errors from log file on the Linux command line I'm sure there's a program somewhere that parses common log entries, but I don't know what it is. However, the task as stated is pretty simple so I'd try hack something together myself. You need to: 1. Pull out the error code and referrer with a regex 2. Filter for 404 codes 3. Filter out empty ... (more) |

I feel like sometimes many power users develop a belief that all power users are like them, and want the same things. But this is an illusion. "People who use the site a lot" are not a monolith and have different opinions on how the site should work.
So for this discussion to be successful, I thin... (more) |

A: Loosen quality standards without losing our power users I've been a heavy user of SO/SE for quite some time on and off. I never really understood the issue other longtime users have with "bad questions". It's one thing when it's something obvious like a question with no punctuation, plaintext or screenshot used for code instead of the Markdown syntax, ... (more) |

A: How do I draw a perfect circle on a square of plywood? There's a few ways to do it: Use a compass. I know you said yours is too small, but you can buy a carpenty or woodworking compass that is much larger (foot or more). Tie a string to your pencil, keep one end of the string fixed with your finger or something else (toothpick, nail, other pencil) ... (more) |
