taquiones.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Team #WordPress, if you use Pods and did not update to 3.3.9 prior to August 16, consider your site compromised. Check for recent password changes and new Administrator users, but do not expect email notifications from either. Look for an .html payload at the root of your website. Look for changes in core, theme, and plugin files, especially index.php. It was less than a day between disclosure and attacks in the wild.

New post on my blog!
“Hillside Prairie” is a reworking of a post I had on another site. I’ve added some new wildflower photos and tried to tell the story more clearly.
(I still don’t like how photo galleries function on #Wordpress. Even though I make separate galleries, all the photos are linked as if in a single gallery. Anyone know a fix for that?)

If you run a WordPress-powered blog, either on wordpress.com or on an independent hosting service, you can turn it into a Fediverse account that people can follow from Mastodon etc. More info about how to do this (and lots of questions answered) at:

You can follow the official account for the plugin that enables this at:

Who knows of a free but very effective plugin (or method) I can use to share wordpress.org files on a newsletter. I want to give away free ebooks, but looks like what I'm using now (a feature in a shopping plugin) encrypts the file's url, but limits how many people can download it. I'm being tempted to share directly from a proton drive folder, or something similar, but not sure if that is advisable....

In other words: mostly attempting to hack your WordPress installation. Interesting to see also attempts at getting at backup files for python environments.
