Yesterday

Small rant with Brent, what do you think? This is crazy, (it's in Dutch but let me translate) - One of the bigger meal voucher providers in Belgium got hacked (for many people meal vouchers are an added bonus on top of their salary) - They say "THANKS TO QUICK DETECTION, WE…

Pluxee owns so many companies, this coming from them directly...

I gave you a pastel in case they took all the other food.

Jordi Boggiano @Seldaek23h

You don't even get a free dessert voucher or something? :D

WOOPS.

Joey Smith @tyrsson1d

I think there's a middleware for that 😅

Taking #1 Product of the Day, #1 of the Week, and #3 of the Month on Product Hunt with an open-source PHP app built live on stream is a wild run. Queuing up Episode 6 now!

Parenting question: am I the only one wearing headphones while bathing their kids because “being in the water” makes them… very excited and LOUD??

Mike Lehan @M1ke5d

Really good earplugs were a great investment when mine were born. But actually I don't think I ever needed them for bath time

Dominic Jäggi @dominicjaeggi5d

I can reassure you: it’s completely normal behavior – on both sides.

Ok our cat got a little snippy-de-snip, but the vet didn't have any of those special cat collars to spare, and now he's licking the wound. Tips??

Victor Sanchez @juaniquilloOct 29

I hope little DarkMode gets better soon. 🫶

Sarah @SarahSibertOct 29

I'm not sure what you can do apart from get a collar quick. You can get all sorts on the internet! If you need one desperately maybe see if another local vet has one or a friend? My friend lent me this watermelon for Pippin.

Spending years tracing weird bugs with var_dump and reading framework source code is the only reason we can spot when an agent's output is subtly broken today.

legecha @legechaOct 29

I really love this. Can't agree more. I've said in the past that I feel so privileged to have learned my craft before AI was around. Those hours reading forums, stack overflow, putting var_dump('wtf '.$x++); after every single line... were all worth it. Almost like a…

Pretty massive release for tempest/highlight: 8 new language, and some important bugfixes when using custom highlighter tags 🥳

Small PHP security followup, worth checking out

NANils Adermann@nadermanOct 23

Set session.upload_progress.enabled=0 till next PHP release to block an unlikely RCE vector (CVE-2026-115560). Already recommended for CVE-2026-109619 on Wednesday, keep it disabled. Only apps with non-default serialize_handler switching it to "php" at runtime can be affected.…

php.netPHP: News Archive - 2026PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.

Nick Woodhead @naw103quotedOct 23

For Laravel apps the framework's own session layer doesn't use PHP's native sessions, so the serialize_handler case Nils describes should be rare right? Still worth switching off until the patch is out.

Dez (Spiggle)@skillbobbyOct 23

Better safe, I applied these today, Thanks for sharing.

I’m training this cat to become part of my livestreams!

legecha @legechaOct 22

What about 3D printing a custom keyboard - one key to accept a PR and one to reject? 😆 Inject a little excitement into the stream!

Ez.-@harlequinetcieOct 22

Is it already trained to run away and hide from the kids? Bc my tuxedo cat is an expert at that.

Aidan Casey @aidan-caseyOct 22

Can I train it a few tricks for your livestreams as well?

PHP isn’t the most sexy language, I give you that. Where I live in Belgium, government, school, hospital, help line, media, news, and what not websites are down. It’s not because we don’t often hear about it that it isn’t big. Usually, PHP simply does the job. Nothing sexy,…

Aidan Casey @aidan-caseyOct 21

What is the most sexy language, @brendt?

John Roux @JohnRouxOct 21

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by how many services/places I didn't know were PHP based suddenly went down. Like, rough day, but also amazing to see how big the impact of the language is!

Rolf Smit @Rolf-SmitquotedOct 21

Kind of glad the web is still as diverse as it is. Imagine if everything was built on just PHP, or any other stack for that matter. Having multiple languages and ecosystems is probably what keeps the web going, in a weird way? A split redundancy?
