I have e_107 install on one of my websites and I have secured it about as good as I can with the help from their forums, but it lacks many free themes or plugins.

Of all the CMS' available, which is the most secure to use? I would assume Joomla is the most supported currently, but is it in the most secure?

I have used PHPNUke in the past, but it was rather insecure, or needed a billion patches to become secure. It was very easy to use however.

Any thoughts? I should add that I am using a Linux server, so ASP is out of the question currently.

Im assuming Joomla because since its pretty popular and actively developed, even if it's a bit less secure than something else they'll make sure it gets fixed/secured fast?

I've used many CMS over the past few years and personally I don't like some things about Joomla either, Something else you may want to look into is drupal ?

I've used Wordpress with good results. It's not a full CMS, but with a few plugins and some creativity it can be adapted for any purpose. Making themes for it couldn't be any easier. Also, look into Expression Engine. It's secure, but it's not completely free. Again, a strong password will double any CMS' security.

I would also recommend Drupal. The open source community involved in that project are very quick to respond to any security issues with patches, and the overall support for the core and extended modules is outstanding.

Drupal.org

I am finding that out right now.

Almost ridiculous actually.

Yes, installation is a bit more involved than Joomla or WordPress currently. But unless you're setting up a multi-site installation, it's not all that difficult.

      I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
