Netlify and Namecheap: when adding www to my url, the website shows security concerns. Why?

Have a website for a client hosted on Netlify with the domain through Namecheap. I really don't know much about what a DNS is or what any of these things mean so please, please explain thoroughly the exact steps. I need the email forwarding so while using the nameservers was an easy way to start, netlify has no email forwarding option and namecheap won't offer if you're not using their nameservers. In my netlify domains, I have the domain purchased from namecheap listed, with the DNS records having a url without www. preceding it, and one that does, both with 3600 IN NETLIFY next to it (I don't know what this means at all) In advanced DNS under namecheap, I have added two records, A Record with a host @, a value of 75.2.60.5, and the TTL Automatic. I also have a CNAME record with the host www and value is the url without the www. preceding it with the TTL as automatic. Is this right? I tried to use the other settings with the Alias records but nothing happened when I did this. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here. ...

MySQL Workbench Alternatives

Hey guys. This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know of a MySQL Workbench alternative that isn't laggy as heck with large datasets? Preferably with a more modern GUI as well but not essential. The lag is what's mostly irritating me.

alternatives for node-canvas

I had used canvas long time ago. Now when i tried to use it again, i couldn't even install it. I looked the readme on the npmjs page, and it stated that i have to install bunch of packages.

[I was about to use it in my discord bot btw]...

TabWidth in HTML VSCode

So I figured out how to adjust my tab size in prettier in VS code but it only works for JavaScript. I am having a hard time telling apart where each div ends and I would really appreciate a larger tab width in html and css. OR if each div was color coded a different color, that would be great too. I tried to figure out how to make prettier apply to html and css with chatgpt but it had me create a config file and upload it and I tried but I can’t figure out how to upload it or name it correctly. This is so complicated for something that seems so simple, it’s making me consider switching to a different IDE. I would super appreciate suggestions on how to fix this in VSCode or other IDEs....

I am starting a new project from frontend mentor. Usually the site lets you download a starter folder, that has some starter essentials to help you, but a thing I don't like is that they let there a raw html. I was wondering, is there a way to wrap each block of these texts in some tag with vscode? So I don't have to do each for each one

ELI5 Gradle and Docker

Hey guys, I think I just have a fundamental misunderstanding of gradle and docker. I have this codebase at work that builds with gradle and sets up a docker container locally. I was having trouble with the gradle build and it was failing the build. I reached out to another developer and they mentioned that I need to build the project with Java 11 (I had Java 22). I was able to build successfully then by doing ./gradlew -D org.gradle.java.home='<path-to-jdk-11>'...

github pages using Vite

Hello, I've been struggling for quite a long time with github pages. As I've used Vite for my simple todo project my index.html is stored in public folder, therefore the github pages can't reach it as it looks for it in the root folder. I've tried to create a new branch where index.html was in the root, but it just doesn't work at all....
