Does anybody on the fedi Laravel community knows Aaron Francis? It's really sad that his (awesome) fast-paginate package seems abandoned like this, maybe just a statement acknowledging he can't/doesn't want to maintain it anymore can make the community fork it to keep it maintained. This L11 support PR has been opened and unanswered for 2 months already.
@stefanzweifel yeah, I don't want to put any pressure on him, at all, honestly, I didn't even comment on the PR just to avoid that, that's why I asked if anybody knows him because a friendly nudge is always better than an email from a stranger (imo). Can't think of a way to word that email that doesn't sound beggy, it's just a pity because it's a great package.
We're getting close to finishing so I'll expand. While fixing a bug on the rector-laravel package, I find out that you can queue closures using dispatch (as per the docs) but you can't when using Bus::dispatch(). I thought this was a bug but I got the issue closed (probably for not being assertive enough, haha). What do you think?
@michael yeah, not my first rodeo and I keep reporting making PRs because I still benefit from them. I can understand from the other side, a repo like that isn't easy to manage, but that's why I try to make the issues and PRs as clear as possible. I think in this case Dries didn't read past the "not 100% sure if it's a bug" 🤷
It was widely regarded as the 'greatest briefing of all time', for it's use of parody to defend parody (they called the judiciary "Latin dorks").
The case in question regarded a man who mocked his local PD through a satirical FB page. The PD looted his home. He sued. The 6th court ruled that the PD couldn't have known about his right to free speech.
SCOTUS said "Petition DENIED". The bad law stands.
Summing it up, there's a vulnerability (CVE-2024-2961) on glibc that, apparently, can be used to get RCE on servers running PHP.
It's recommended that you update glibc to a patched version.
@ramsey ok, thanks, because I could only find people talking about the upcoming talk but nothing on actual mitigations (except update glibc), but nothing PHP specific.
@ramsey ok, so I guess that updating glibc only isn't enough for now, I'd need to either compile from source or wait for a recompiled version from my distro or repo, am I understanding correctly?
@ramsey also, sorry for assuming you were talking about this but I just finished reading about it and saw you asking about glibc, on my mind IT HAD to be related
One of my sons—who is an avid PC gamer—is letting me use a previous-generation gaming rig he built to see if I want to buy it for use as my primary #Linux workstation. It’s a pretty decent box (Intel Core i7-12700K CPU, NVIDIA GPU, M.2 NVMe, 32GB of RAM).
I’m divided WRT which distribution & DE to install. I used #Fedora w/ #GNOME for quite a while, but I’ve also recently been using #ArchLinux w/ #KDE. Is #Ubuntu easier to get NVIDIA drivers working? (I honestly don’t know.)
@scottslowe I don't have experience with NVIDIA, but honestly, Arch has the best documentation on their wiki and great support on their forums.
I'd check the Arch Wiki and forums to see if your GPU is specifically mentioned because their documentation and forums are the best nowadays (imho).
Do you use Encrypted Environment files in Laravel?
I think they are great for some special use cases, but given the prevalence of API keys and credentials found in repos, is it worth it to use them all the time?
There was a bit of a debate about this last time I posted it, so I'm curious to see how we're all feeling about them now. Or maybe I'm just being a old security grump? 🧐
