PHP freelance software engineer specialising in booking, reporting and CRM systems. Laravel specialist.

Pilot and PA28 Arrow owner.
All of my projects use Tailwind, and either React or Vue. Hence why it's so perfect for my use case.

Ha maybe, although the fact they haven't picked up the phone to me in the last 2 weeks when they ordinarily would have done, suggests that they probably know it's not and I'd tell them that 😅

Nah this was being implemented for users - the person building it wouldn't understand the security implications. I'm supposed to be working on the project, not sure why he hasn't asked me to do anything but I won't be working on it with that in place.

Either - same difference. "Magic password" is the term AI gave this person.

Magic link as you described. The link contains a one-time token.

Magic password - send an email with a OTP (typically 6 digits).

Both of them are dangerous as hell for the reason you described.

The web interface is dreadful - clunky, slow, glitchy.

My main complaint with them has always been downtime - until recently.

I seem to have so many SSH auth issues and I really don't know why. I have to regen keys all over the place, so much time loss.

Even better is that Octopus seem to have removed the 30 day period where you can't switch back on to Agile, so I switched over today to make use of it and I'll switch back to the EV tariff tomorrow based on price forecasts.

Ahh ok.

We potentially have a buyer for the engine/engine core, just waiting for him to make a decision on it.
