I'm sure I'm not the only one who runs to /dev/null GitHub commits to check what was just deployed after receiving that "update' alert. 🤔

Adam Hosker @ahosker7h

Too many clicks, click Changelog on the right. https://dev-null.sh/changelog

/dev/null/dev/nullA social network for developers. Sign in with GitHub. Commit messages to the log. Talk with other devs.

Try Comet browser.

I tried Dia browser before, didn’t like it. But now that Arc is leaving in December, I guess I have no choice?

Adeyinka Adefolurin @Lavendar77quoted7h

By Perplexity 🤔 I don’t know about that one, but I will check them out too.

I have not patched one of my old server. I run some legacy PHP 8.1 applications on Ubuntu 18.04. It doesn't support PHP 8.2 Has anyone managed to upgrade Ubuntu to 20.04 and then 22.04 without losing any data?

Marcel Wendler @UniquePanda7h

We went from Ubuntu 18 to 20 to 22 to 24 and now to 26 with our app. So yeah, it's definitely possible! We didn't do it all at once, but ober several years. Still, shouldn't be too much of a problem with the self updates of Ubuntu!

MMarhoon @marhoons7h

tk snapshot ..clone server.. test sequential upgrades.. verify PHP applications before touching production.. ur concern data then u need tk snapshot 🤠

I'd say PHP feels more like an old Volvo. But that might depend on where you live. 😂

What's your preferred option to disable session.upload_progress.enabled ?

There will never be a better time for Laravel Cloud to market itself than now! These custom VPS aren't easy to manage in the long run.

Marc @stausmar1d

Exactly! That's the power of cloud hosting. I just shut down my Laravel apps for a few hours, and re-started once they applied the fix. For my self-hosted apps, it was way more complicated.

"/dev/null" just hit 10,000 developers! 🚀 What started as an idea is now a thriving community of developers pushing commits, sharing ideas, and debugging life together. Here's to more networking, endless vibes, and connections that never time out. Next milestone: 100K…

@tom why haven't you achieved your luddite badge?

Tom @tom3d

The luddite badge unlocks by unfollowing me while I still follow you. Accounts I never befriended do not qualify, so if you never got a follow back, that is likely why. *beep*

Richard Keep @richardkeep3dd053ff3

Turns out we can achieve anything with just polling... We do not those fancy websockets again.

Richard Keep @richardkeep3d6ee29c3

I will be signing autographs. 😄

J3ffJessie @J3ffJessie3d

Agree with @aaqidmasoodi it should be allowed but some sort of indication in the remote that it was deleted or edited so the other user(s) are aware that it occurred.
