Seems longer than 10 years ago? But hey... Let's Encrypt absolutely changed the game... TLS and certificates were a huuuuuge PITA and expensive... we only used them when money was moving around online and they were slow most times. It was also a process to add one, update one, etc. I remember not trusting it at first because it was so easy lol. THANK YOU Let's Encrypt... you made us all more sane, saved time, and secured us all up too. Firm handshakes.


Thats what I thought when I read this too, I feel like they have been around forever.

Guess a lot has happened in 10 years.


"WordPress plugin quirk" AKA human error (as usual).


Yes, the human error was using WordPress.


I had to laugh out loud at this (by myself).

The amount of requests I get on my servers for WP related files is insane


they really should. i thought they'd have a flag on the actual profile.


Good. BYE. lol.


The mighty penny is dead. Long live the penny!!


is that why chatGPT always tells me "6 7 lol"? ;)


Going to date myself a bit here but way back in the day (early 2000's ish) we had to pay a LOT of money to get a zipcode database lol. Early ecomm and site builds sometimes needed em and man was the data rough. This is cool but just took me down memory lane a bit.


WELP..... that was a fun run. Probably switch back to chrome at some point.


insert 'shocked' emoji face here


seemingly small amount of sites that manually downloaded that version from the site as opposed to 'most' that get premium(paid) update files through their API gateway (that I think calls file from AWS).

> The Gravity API service that handles licensing, automatic updates, and the installation of add-ons initiated from within the Gravity Forms plugin was never compromised. All package updates managed through that service are unaffected.


for now. (i'm not a bot. i'm aware however a bot would say this)
