It turns out every time I post something about something on GitHub not working right, 3 hours later their status page will admit that there's an incident going on.

Oh good, Azure Ubuntu mirrors are flaking out again on #GitHub. I love it when this happens!

A bit late but the last site still using Laravel Mix has been switched to Vite.

why are the serfs complaining?!?

Why does jargon feel good tho

I refuse celebrate the death of the Cybertruck, because its very existence is an indictment. For such a thing nonexistence is the desirable state. Returning to that state is simply a reminder of the amount of waste required to return us to the desirable state. The time, money, materials, energy, discourse, etc, all wasted.

Sometimes it would be super helpful to be able to type discriminate between int- and string-backed enums in #PHP. Not something that comes up often, but it does come up.

There is is:

I'm cursed apparently. All my #GitHubActions runners are queued and/or just spinning their wheels. Cursed!

I dunno what they changed but GitHub's UI no longer feels like dragging a mouse cursor through molasses like it has for the last couple months. Nice!

ISC has been fortunate to have @ondrej as our Director of DNS Engineering since 2017. But independently of his day job, he is an important maintainer of PHP packages for Debian and Ubuntu.

This has become even more significant over the last few days as the PHP RCE vulnerabilities have been disclosed.

We are so proud of Ondřej, and grateful for him and all the other unsung heroes of the global Internet who work for the common good.

The PHP #security issue shows once again how much our society relies on mostly volunteer work.

Look at PHP Foundation @phpc finances:
https://opencollective.com/phpfoundation#category-BUDGET

- Reimbursed $67K on development work this year
- Received: $642,755 last year

Compare these numbers with the amounts companies have made with products & services built upon #PHP. Our digital foundations are built on the backs of #opensource volunteers. Governments & companies need to invest in our common digital infrastructures.

guys I have SO many ssh sessions going right now

What a fun day to be alive and doing PHP packaging…

Who has some gossip on the latest with all this? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/php-warns-admins-of-two-critical-flaws-emergency-patches-coming-tomorrow/

What's extremely telling is that there is never once an article like this written from the perspective of the person who cut off their parent.

Every once in a while in #PHP what would be really useful is something like an enum+struct where each case has the same struct. Like, say:

enum Example: MyStruct
case Foo = { 'num' => 1 }
case Bar = { 'num' => 2 }

I have a lot of these static data sources and am currently handling them with enum + method + public readonly classes, which works, but doesn't feel exactly right. I dunno. This might be too niche.
