Apropos...
@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 lingers
A compromise
A CVE
Now a CA
Now PHP
O Sysadmin, O Sysadmin
How weary are your fingers

A university course is currently trying out Pixelfed
A few weeks ago, we started noticing a number of applications on pixelfed.ca, where the user would say that they needed to register for a course. I don’t have full confirmation, but I’m fairly certain that this is a legitimate wave of signups from students at a Canadian university.
I’m sharing this post for a few reasons:
- I thought it was neat
Personally, I’m excited that people are trying out Pixelfed and using it in coursework like this. If you are one of the students, now seeing this post, welcome! :) I hope that the project goes well, and that you have a pleasant experience on the platform. Feel free to share any and all feedback.
- Some of the posts may look like spam at first
You might be seeing similar looking posts from different accounts on your feed. My guess is that the course has specific requirements and example templates. However, there’s also plenty of real content (ex. artwork, photography, etc.), so I don’t think it’s going to be disruptive
- Please report anything that seems off
As always, you can report inappropriate content through the UI. For urgent issues, please email us at support@pixelfed.ca. You can also DM admin@lemmy.ca as there is overlap with our Pixelfed and Lemmy team members.

@meganecko I was amused by your bio and followed. 😂
Windows 11 is failing as an operating system
Hi @permacomputer
I finally went to #static #html. #Handwritten with a text editor and some assisting tools. And blogged (in German) about it: https://blog.mro.name/2026/08/bloggen-wie-2030/
@mro @permacomputer do you have a English version?
@p you sure do
yep 😊 he's the best
Like what's just really staggering about automatic updates world is how corporations give you homework. Did you have plans for today? No you didn't, you're dealing with this new update and/or looking for yet another alternative to a program because it autoupdated into uselessness. Combine that with this week's CVE scares and it's just like every few hours, drop everything and work on this piece of broken software. It's 8PM, disconnect your PHP server. It's 6AM, research Android translation apps.
@mcc That was one reason for me retiring.
It was no longer possible to write code, with or without AI, as 100% of one's time was spent version bumping things in response to CVEs.

Cachy OS benchmarked (on Tuxedo InfinityBook Max 16): Hype or Real performance?
I do need a different name for my negative self-talk though, I have several good friends named Steve/Steven/Stephen and I don’t want them to catch strays
@fluffy I imagine all my brain problems as badly behaved dogs. That way they get dog names and I feel a bit happier about how well behaved my real dogs are.

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.
