One of my earlier PRs was to the docs, to add a short description for a method that was overlooked in Laravel v3 or v4. I spent ages trying to make sure it was perfect. Then waited anxiously for it to be approved or commented on. Instead, Taylor deleted it and then had some one else do the issue. I’ve not bothered trying to help Laravel since. 😒 Love Laravel, but that put me off in a big way. I now spend my time doing PRs for those that appreciate them instead.

@dandb To be fair, I’ve heard they have change their ways. But for someone like me who suffers immense imposter syndrome, I can’t bring myself to helping even if the issue is resolved. :(

On phpc.social using @MonaApp on iPhone, frequently see this with gifs. Just me? The preview is a blurred image.

Wowee, so London Drugs just shut down all it’s stores until further notice due to a Sunday cyberattack. That’s a thing. Nothing to see here.

@strayhorse Can we start executing hackers yet? Radical I realize but it would seem we are being too lax in deterrents.

Moved hydroponic shelves out of hot garage and into basement for summer. Lettuce kept bolting out there. I planted a new batch of lettuce. 12 red romaine starts and 6 net cups with a couple seeds each of "marvel of four seasons". These varieties have served us well for years, and the red romaine are from seeds I harvested.
I'll succession sow another tub if seeds in around 2 weeks to keep them going at different ages.

@spacer @tinker Is there a lot of moisture produced by this setup and if yes, how do you deal with it in side the house?

Christmas and birthday presents are now going to be a RaspberryPi with pi-hole pre-installed and simple instructions on how to setup on your router.

Come to think of it, why don’t routers have adblockers pre-installed? You can turn on or off, but have them built in.

@outofcontrol@phpc.social avatar

@michael Pihole does have groups so you can manage when you have ads and when you don’t. It otherwise, yeah, probably not a great combo. No birthday present for you this year! 🤪

@michael This can be an issue in the family, when someone visits an e-commerce site that has the checkout scripts blocked, they get very annoyed at husband/dad. :(

Here we go criminals using toolkits to attack sites from a spun-up EC2 instance.

@outofcontrol@phpc.social avatar

@mergy I posted about our experience with Claudebot recently here on mastodon. Anthropic claims to be a good org. They basically executed a DDoS on a few of our sites from almost 400 IPs. We added them to the robots.txt and they just repeatedly hit that every second afterwards endlessly. fail2ban resolved our issues successfully in the end.

Imagine the environmental impact this is having/going to have.

outofcontrol,
@outofcontrol@phpc.social avatar

@mergy Good to know about Wordfence. Several of our sites are not Wordpress based, so having F2B was helpful. The badbot config is pretty good overall for all those other pesky bots. Perhaps time to have a badai config for F2B?

outofcontrol,
@outofcontrol@phpc.social avatar

@mergy A very politically correct reason for blocking Claudebot. I doubt my comment would be repeatable.

So, can we just simply block ALL AWS EC2 instance IP addresses? So much crap comes from there.

Why?! @sascha I think you suggested DBeaver to me as a great app, which it is. Why does every company feel such a strong desire to enshittify their pefectly fabulous app with AI:

"AI assistant is enabled by default”

PS. Haven’t tried and don’t know what it does, this is my knee jerk reaction from experience.

My first full-time dev job was building a domain name registration system, so I'm very good at sniffing out domain scams.🧐

I received an suspicious looking email yesterday, so let's see how far I can string this along and what their goal is... 😈
(I'll keep this thread updated)

@valorin Ha, we have gotten so many of these same emails. Very annoying. Good luck in your adventure.

@valorin Keep us up to date. We always toss these ones, but would love to know how they handle a potential “serious” buyer. 🤪

This is a bit scummy from . Spun up a teeny weeny VPS to test some stuff, and because I changed the contract to monthly instead of yearly (same price) they applied a £10(+VAT) "setup fee”.

It's an automated process!!

Makes me want to fuck them off.

@kev Used to 1and1 for everything until they randomly started locking files they “thought” were evil, killing my sites at 2 in the morning. Now on DigitalOcean and AWS for most things.

And I guess I can now stick this in ansible and patch all the VMs in one go!

Posted the cobbled-together fix (it seems) for Linux folks here https://mergy.org/glibc-vuln-fix-for-debian-for-now/

At least you can see if your distro is similar or not.

@mergy Thanks for your detailed posts on a work around for this issue. I appreciate the level headed approach here.

    @chris For the most part, using IKEv2 VPN with pfsense, setup in the home office, and VyprVPN from Golden Frog as a secondary. Using a VPN 100% of the time when outside the house.

    @chris same for social media sites etc. People complaining about xitter or whatever gets past all filters.

    We have put our chicken house into operation 🙂 We have been tinkering with it for a long time. We have built a new home for chickens with a sea view using old dismantling material from our construction sites. From now on there are eggs from our own 🙂

    Am I correct in thinking that Ubuntu has patched focal, jammy and mantic already? And if I see Released (2.35-0ubuntu3.7) in my Ubuntu, based on here https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-2961 it means this VM is safe from CVE-2024-2961?

    Just hearing about CVE-2024-2961, the glibc vulnerability which opens door to PHP attacks? Curious which version of glibc you are using: ldd —version

    And will see a line like this:
    ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.35-0ubuntu3.7) 2.35

    glibc v2.40 is patched and maybe backported to v2.32?

    @ramsey@phpc.social avatar

    How do you pronounce “glibc”? (as in the GNU C Library)

    Edit: I consider “gee” as pronounced with a soft G, so you might also write it as “jee.”

    @derickr @j3j5 @ramsey Thanks Derick. No need to recompile PHP then?
