I couldn’t believe how fast the last little bit of sunlight disappeared before totality.

My favourite was the teen goth outside with their family looking up at the sun.

Our original plan was to drive south to get a better view of the eclipse, but with the high risk of clouds we're probably just gonna stay home instead.

@ShaunOttawa my partner has to go pick something up today in Spencerville. So I’m tagging along and we’ll go in time for the eclipse.

Having just spent a month in , I’m excited to learn:

  1. Ang Lee is Taiwanese!
  2. He made a about family centered around Taiwanese food: Eat Drink Man Woman
  3. It looks good!

Among many things, I’m missing the food. This may become a favorite.

@zackkatz You spent a month there? Nice. That’s the way to WordCamp.

If you ever thought you'd like to have billing information at your finger tips to better make architectural decisions when developing on ...

  • what would you like to know?

  • what challenges would having past billing data help overcome?

@cwensel When spinning up EC2 or RDS instances, I'd love to see the hourly & monthly cost estimates without having to separately look up pricing.

@cwensel Sadly click ops (never heard that term before, love it) right now. Going to move to Terraform or CloudFormation when I get the time.

wondering where I could find the php community at

they mentioned about librechat and any other forum that I am not familiar with

shawnhooper,

@ridhof 👋 Lots of PHP'ers on https://phpc.social/

shawnhooper,
@shawnhooper@fosstodon.org avatar

@ridhof Hi Ridho, congrats on your new job.

I'd recommend checking out the https://stitcher.io/blog/ blog to catch up on modern PHP. They have some great overviews there.

PHP has changed a lot in the last 5 years. (In a good way)

Miss the good times when you could buy install discs - either from Linux magazines or directly from the maintainer. I’m a bit nostalgic, one might say.

@hlegius I think I got mine from a local PC User's Group swap meet.

Can you tell when a link to my blog went out on Mastodon? Can you?

@webaware @WTL yeah. I thought I’d had it fixed (thanks to your post a while back Ross). But today is broke. Power cycled the droplet and will debug another day.

@johnefrancis I’d stopped using it for a long time but I’ve been getting back into it for the last 6 months or so.

I never would have imagined when Suits ended in 2019 that it would become a massive cultural phenomenon 5 years later.

@cgrymala @redcrew Oh, I missed the spinoff announcement.
