Nowadays, the internet sometimes feels like a once well-to-do neighbourhood that became a slum after an industrial park & motorway were built through it. And I'm the lifelong resident who refuses to leave, unable to accept that the decaying, now unsafe area will never regain its former grandeur.

PHP is a million or so lines of C code that pervasively used alloc functions that longjmp() on failure, so OOM bailout creates corrupted state. the fix uses fallible allocs and a global please-return-early OOM flag but requires touching Everything. completeness is impossible 😰😰😰

SOI Generis: to be freely Sick Of It.
'Roughly 70%' of internet is powered by PHP and BBC asked cyber security expert who is living under rock. Lmao 🤣 BBC please get someone from mastodon and they will explain it. Hahah ;) Joke asides, yes it is real https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckgel5xp2xv9t I spent almost midnight to rebuild all images and push patches. More like just I had to change tag to get fresh stuff and validate it. I am not sure how long one can keep dealing with this security nonsense and stress associated with it.
@nixCraft The BBC have a long and dishonourable history of this type of thing:
"Find me someone named Guy who knows something about technology"

Remember that technology is a tool. Use it to help yourself.
hi @forgejo php vulnerability recently exposed doesn't affect forgejo? if yes what is the roadmap for fixes?
@abhiyantrik No, it doesn't. Forgejo is written in Go.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Fireball Wizard Pin. I don't think that's the correct way to cast a fireball. But I'm not gonna be the one to tell the bearded weirdo with a rocket launcher that he's doing it wrong.

The Britannica entry for the Fediverse is really good
It isn’t that surprising but it is somewhat surprising.
The BBC being absolutely on the button. Their Cyber correspondent had never even heard of php before? Really??? 🤦♀️
Hab beschlossen ich bringe mein Auto nicht mehr zur Hauptuntersuchung. Meine Sorge, dass die Prüfung ja auch scheitern könnte ist einfach zu groß.
Someone asked me to given them an overview of the Broader Open Social Web.
(I.e., the Fediverse (ActivityPub, etc), plus others — ATmosphere, Nostr, etc.)
I guess I am creating a presentation.
The secret ingredient to my upcoming pension will unfortunately have to be crime. Don't forget to start saving young.
