Release of new software for dacorsa.com

version 8 : custom offline PHP static site generator

Screenshot of dacorsa.com version 8

This month saw the release of a completely new build of dacorsa.com replacing the February 2011 version after almost 5 years of service. This new incarnation would remain online up until February 2021.

The database had became more and more complex which made it difficult to find (cheap) hosting for it. Also there was quite some information in there that was not meant for publication. So having the database online becomes a security problem.
Last but not least, Joomla became so popular that I had to deal with attacks on the website on an almost daily basis.

The 2016 release saw a new (at that time controversial) approach; I created some purpose-made PHP software that generated a static HTML snapshot of the website, that can literally be hosted anywhere and attacking these files makes no sense.
