Bulk deleting users in WordPress multisite
So I have over 10,000 spam users and need to delete them1. The bulk delete in multisite only does 20 at a time and is somewhat slow so I wanted a better way to delete them all. This could be a massive mistake, if you are reading this because you need the same thing, you…

Setting up VVV v1 with SSL
Even taking into stupid mistakes, this was fairly straightforward. Here’s how I set up my VVV local sites with SSL so I’m not screwed when I accidentally update Chrome. (It happens.)

Gutenberg identifiable but still non-global blocks
I wanted to be able to add meta data to individual blocks, so needed a way of telling the blocks apart. What I’ve ended up doing is straightforward: each block gets a data-id attribute which contains the block’s uuid at time of creation.

scraping http POST requests with golang
One of the #enumerateallthethings projects in Go. PostScrape lets you scrape targeted html nodes in enumerateable http POST requests. It uses goquery for the targeting.

Sites with Gravatar urls in the img-src or profile link make it trivial to generate lists of hashes to crack.
