When you embed a video via iframe from Vimeo, Kaltura, or MS Stream, the embed code requires a few html attributes that make it possible to view the videos in full-screen mode. However, those attributes are stripped from the iframe code during the cooking process. This plugin whitelists the attributes required to allow full-screen buttons and capabilities. I should also note that in order for this to work, you’ll need to add the source domain for these iframes to the allowed iframes site settin...

Discourse Fingerprint 🐾 Discourse Fingerprint comes as a tool to community managers in their combat with internet trolls. 🧌 It works by computing a unique identifier (a fingerprint) of each registered user, by taking into consideration over 20 browser characteristics such as user agent, screen resolution, timezone, device memory, etc. When each of these browser characteristics are considered separately, they are not enough to assess whether two users are the same. There is a ...
