JavaScript / Re: Coding my own GDPR cookie code

GDPR makes me laugh, as you have to set a cookie to remember that they have either agreed to, or decline your cookie policy…

Actually localstorage can do a pretty good job.

Still means having to save that the user has either declined or accepted the policy... so can I have half a point, please?

It's the legal equivalent of hunting for a fly with a shotgun.

What I hate about it is it's scripting only in most implementations, and wreaks utter havoc for braille users.

Shitting on accessibility, usability, and sanity out of some whackjob paranoia about a technical feature you NEED on any website that has the ability to be logged into?

I might need those steps one day lol...   I still have my old centOS server cheatsheet for server commands so it should come back to me once im in there.   I assume its all the same even if linux OS rather than centOS.  I know that Ubuntu makes commands easier but i am like a stick in the mud lol

I guess that means one day ill have to get a power backup  for it as well, if i plan to start some sites on it one day.   Its not needed if its just a dev server but once i let the public in, i think ill need a backup power supply too.   My own mini colocation lol

Makes me laugh too, i think its stupid but it is what it is ya know man.   

Its easy until you expand the mini js file that it calls, its miles longer than i ever thought it would be.  Of course they have all kinds of stuff in there that i wont or should not use im sure.

The other reason is that i have no clue what is old js BS that is depricated and what is js BS that is just not recommended.  I am curious how to stop the cookie that is created during login with js if they decline.

I did find a few videos on youtube, i think ill start there and make them my own, and post it here to see if it passes muster

Why can’t you code it yourself?  That looks pretty straight forward coding?

If its like any other server install i think i will be ok, its just installing it on a ex-windows machine is the difference.   I have set up a server with just the OS installed and then added cpanel but have never done the linux OS itself.

Yes sir, i am aware of blocking root from login with ssh and to use a different user for that, but i learned the hard way to be careful and test the new login before you flip the switch on root because once you do and your logged off, if it does not work then your locked out of your own server lol..    They used to just reinstall the OS for me when this happened once or twice on rented servers lol....    But im sure if i have total control of the box itself there are inhouse ways of recovery if that happens.

We will see when the time comes, it will take me awhile to save up the money or ill have to go the CC way of shopping.

Oh yes, I wasn’t going to run through all the steps, especially as I am no expert! But yes, that’s an important step to make sure your new root user and SSH port work before you disable the default 22… 👍🏻

I’m currently running Ubuntu headless…
