Developer with a passion for technology, the open web, and the Fediverse. I enjoy building things, exploring new ideas, and connecting with people who believe in a more open and independent internet.

One of those evenings where the internet reminds us how much we rely on open-source software.
The latest critical PHP vulnerabilities are a good reminder that even the foundations of the web need constant attention. Security updates might not be the most exciting part of development, but they can make all the difference.
Stay curious, keep learning, and don't forget to update your systems.
Have a good evening, everyone!

A reminder for everyone working with PHP!
Big security news in the PHP world right now. Two critical vulnerabilities have been patched, with new releases available across several supported PHP versions.
A good reminder that keeping your software up to date isn't just good practice — it's essential. Take a moment to check your servers and update if you haven't already.
Stay safe out there, developers! 👨💻🔐

If all the governments shutting down their servers for a PHP vulnerability, all the hosting companies and enterprises terrified by the vuln, would give $100k, heck only $50k a year to the PHP Foundation, things could look very differently.

For some reason, a few of my clients’ e-commerce sites break after updating PHP. I can’t share any more details at the moment, as they’re still working on it.
On a completely unrelated note, two customers of my clients insisted on having a call, both involving the cybersecurity department of the massive corporate group they belong to. Wasted time… but ok.
One thanked us for responding so quickly. The other asked why their server hadn’t already been secured.
I explained that I had already applied the mitigations and installed the patch just ten minutes after it became available.
Their response: “You need to review your processes, because servers must be patched before the vulnerability is publicly disclosed.”
I ended the call laughing while eating a plate of tortellini.
Really sad to see people I respected take a big dump on PHP today. It was unnecessary. This is open source. Things run on too few donations and mostly unpaid work.
These people work hard. They deal with entitled users in bug trackers. They sift through slop reports and slop contributions. They have to defend their infra from thieves who can afford to lose more money in an hour than they will not make in a lifetime. They have to drop everything when their unpaid project has an emergency.

A new day, new ideas, and plenty of things to explore.
One of the best things about technology is that there’s always something new to learn, something to build, or a new idea worth trying.
Taking things one step at a time and enjoying the journey.
Have a great Thursday, everyone!

@stefano@bsd.cafe Thank you for reaching out! I completely understand your point, and I’m sorry I didn’t consider that the domain name could cause confusion.
I’m running this as an independent, self-hosted instance because I really like your project and wanted to try it out for myself. I’m not affiliated with or claiming to be the official LittleFedi instance.
I’ll make sure to add a clear note to the website or profile so people can easily understand the distinction. Thanks for creating LittleFedi, and keep up the great work! 😊
LittleFedi is up and running smoothly!
Email delivery is now configured and tested, and email is required for new registrations. Registration is open, so feel free to join us!
A big shout-out to @stefano@bsd.cafe for creating LittleFedi and making this project possible. 🙌 It's great to be able to run my own instance and contribute to the Fediverse in my own little way.
More to come!
