Oct 21, 2026, 2:43 PMis there a song yet about this week of vulnerabilities and patches?
am thinking "Oh PHP" to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum)"

Oct 21, 2026, 2:50 PM@brainwane maybe “Old Sysadmin” to not omit having to yank a trusted root CA and also reflect how many of us are getting tired of this?

@acdha Oh there could be many songs!
As someone who writes filk at least once a year, I will say that "ee" is probably an easier rhyme than "in"

but the meter works, so...
O Sysadmin, O Sysadmin
How weary are your fingers
O Sysadmin, O Sysadmin
The unpatched version lingersA compromise
A CVE
Now a CA
Now PHPO Sysadmin, O Sysadmin

@brainwane heh, better than my attempts. I'll have to enlist the boy's help when he gets home — he's been really into song-writing recently.

@acdha An original song (original music as well as new lyrics) would certainly be welcome! I personally am much stronger at lyrics than at music composition
Oct 21, 2026, 4:35 PM@brainwane @acdha I'm now imagining a version of this set to O Fortuna instead… the bombast and themes of it would be fitting.
