    Any discount codes for iFastNet's premium hosting?

    Where do I start... the two that immediately come to mind are:

    CHRONOS : 29% recurring discount

    ANYX : 25% recurring discount (well, this one's obviously "mine" lol)

    There are others sent in promotional emails by iFastNet sometimes, such as FASTSSD, but to the extent of my knowledge CHRONOS offers the best discount available. Props to you, @Chronos:P

    As Xera is licensed under GPL 2.0, any modifications to it must also be released under the same license and made available to the public.

    The highlighted part is incorrect. Although I am happy with the release of the source code, @SpookyKipper was not in violation of the license, and the truth must be stated.

    The GNU GPL is the most widely used free software license and has a strong copyleft requirement. When distributing derived works, the source code of the work must be made available under the same license. There are multiple variants of the GNU GPL, each with different requirements.

    This is correct (I added a correction to TinkerMan's message), although there is a common misconception of what "distribution" means in this context and how it's applied. In fact, it is the reason that the GNU Affero GPL was created:

    https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-affero-gpl.html

    Quoting from the article:

    Quote

    Suppose you develop and release a free program under the ordinary GNU GPL. If developer D modifies the program and releases it, the GPL requires him to distribute his version under the GPL too. Thus, if you get a copy of his version, you are free to incorporate some or all of his changes into your own version.

    But suppose the program is mainly useful on servers. When D modifies the program, he might very likely run it on his own server and never release copies. Then you would never get a copy of the source code of his version, so you would never have the chance to include his changes in your version. You may not like that outcome.

    Using the GNU Affero GPL avoids that outcome. If D runs his version on a server that everyone can use, you too can use it. Assuming he has followed the license requirement to let the server's users download the source code of his version, you can do so, and then you can incorporate his changes into your version. 

    In the ordinary, non-Affero GPL, distribution of a program is applied when the program is released to the public. However in our case, @SpookyKipper's modifications to the original Xera program fall under the category described in the article: they are ran on his own server, and distributed to no one else but himself, so there is no requirement for him to share the source code. For him to have to publish his changes, the developer would have to have used the Affero GPL or a license with a similar clause that "lets the server's users download the source code of his version".

    TLDR: He wasn't in violation of the license, and won't be if he decides to unpublish it either (considering it wasn't meant to be distributed).

    I would personally be happy if he keeps the changes up, even without providing support, but some changes might need to be done (that will be addressed with him privately).

    Incorrect. Please read the licensing again.

    I did not check your Generate Aera application, but it’s illegal if you are not distributing it under the same license. 

    @ChippyTech stated this (which sounds like a ChatGPT text but let's be honest, pretty much everything does nowadays):

    14 hours ago, ChippyTech said:

    If a modified version of Xera is closed-source, it likely means that the source code for the modification is not available for public viewing or use, and thus is proprietary. As Xera is licensed under GPL 2.0, any modifications to it must also be released under the same license and made available to the public. If the modified version is closed-source, it may be in violation of the GPL 2.0 license.

    You were in complete agreement with his view, so I don't see why you called it incorrect (although it technically is, lol, just not for the reason you mentioned).

    Also, we're talking about @SpookyKipper's SpookHost, not GenerateArea.

    Can you help me 🙏 ?

    Thank you !

    You need to replace "https://order.cafewebhost.co.uk/image.php" with one of the following links for your image to work properly:

    https://securesignup.net/image.php / https://ifastnet.com/image.php

    You'll need to do the same to this: 

    <form method=post action="https://order.cafewebhost.co.uk/register.php">

    Replace with this: 

    <form method=post action="https://securesignup.net/register.php">

    Or this: 

    <form method=post action="https://ifastnet.com/register.php">

    You need to serve everything over HTTPS. 
     

    Make sure all links are HTTPS, then Try this:

    https://tinkertechlab.com/webhosting/htaccess/force-traffic-to-https

    This does not apply here, as you cannot serve the order subdomain through HTTPS. Good if there is other insecure content, though.

    Overall, great start, but you need a bit more customization to make it even better!

    Agree with that, especially this:

    3 hours ago, TinkerMan said:

    Would be nice to have a custom homepage, I would recommend bootstrap. The template is not mobile-friendly, and is outdated. 

    You're currently using an outdated Byet template, from the looks of it. Designing your own, or basing your website around a modern hosting template that you customise will be much better.

    Aside from the look, that template mentions incorrect information (such as "unlimited space" and "unlimited bandwith"). The latest limits can be seen on MOFH's Plans page (the "Users" section):

    https://myownfreehost.net/plans.php

    As for the login/signup, you don't want to set up your own login/signup page, you can have a look at project LOGGED:

    The word “killer” and randomly appears in the footer, and the footer is also missing a | between the two middle links. 

    That's from the template, mentioning "Killer Flash Templates". Best to just get rid of the template entirely.

    Your iFN link is not an affiliate link. 

    Not required, so if you don't want to get a commision out of potential sales you don't need to set this up @danielyi, but setting it up can only be beneficial for you.

    (Plus, don't you think Microsoft knows their own system better then 3rd parties?)

    Take a look at their recent decisions and tell me that again. Well they might, but, they certainly don't know their own users best.

    In any case, viruses are complicated. Microsoft offers an above average solution, but they can't protect you from all specialized attacks or offer all the abilities certain antivirus suites can.

    why you care? The web is not fully anonymous.

    Indeed it isn't, but a great majority of its users wish to stay so, and I've found in my experience that most who mention real details without having published them before (for example having their name as username, or having it in the description of their bio) usually do so accidentally.

    Windows Dreamscene was a interesting thing - at least for me.

    I had no idea it was a thing - looked it up and it mentioned Vista, I jumped from XP to 8.1 to 10 and 11, using a Win7 VM somewhere in between... I'd tried a Vista VM but it was too slow for me to bear. Shame it wasn't continued, although I presume not many used it.

    Question:
    What do you guys think? Will they release something like windows 7 again? :) And is Windows defender is good stuff?

    Answering the questions in the order they were asked:

    1. The letter is... strange. Aside from the Win7 Aero request, your idea for them is to... include Windows Defender? Which they already do in all new Windows versions? Is there a reason they'd exclude it? Also, MSN messenger? Considering it was a part of Windows Live, and most Windows Live products were either retired or migrated to another platform (eg. OneDrive to Office), I doubt it's coming back, and why would it when Microsoft has Skype? What would the point be in them maintaining two messaging apps? (Considering they also have Microsoft Teams, that would make them 3).
    2. Very doubtful. As mentioned by @SpookyKipper, the trend has passed, and Microsoft favors a different design strategy nowadays. It's a strategy I disagree with personally, living in the horror that is Windows 11 (aesthetically pleasing and terrible in functionality), but what can you do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. For what it's worth, I also like the Windows 7 Aero design, but sincerely doubt it's coming back. Maybe by a fan / company other than Microsoft (like the Windows 7 start menu that was around during 8.1).
    3. Windows Defender is decent. As much as I may have done exactly what @SpookyKipper would do in the past (installing an additional Antivirus), I've needed one less than before, and Windows Defender is good in warning me about something suspicious.

    I'd much rather have that type of dreams than the ones I'm having most of the time lol

    And to add to that, I'd prefer seeing them in my dreams rather than not being able to sleep thinking about them (well for me it's C and Java, Uni moment, but when I freshen up and obtain new frontend development knowledge those will be added to the list too, I suppose).

    I think you’ve posted that exact same thing in at least 4 different spots now. 

    I advised him to post it here (dunno if he was planning to anyway) because it fit the place more than the other forum. There's nothing wrong with it, aside from perhaps fitting better in an API discussion, if there is one.

    If the issue isn't resolved after a while, try contacting https://support.ifastnet.com. It's usually encountered if your account is new and Softaculous has not been set up for it yet, but it might be another issue, so if you wait for the 20 minutes and it isn't resolved contact Support.
