    I'm thinking that I'll find a couple of online #PHP / #MySQL / #LAMP courses. I have some ideas for a #Fediverse server and I'd like to try them out.

    Depending on my skills, available time, and whether the projects' CoCs are acceptable, I would also like to contribute to both #GNU_Social and #Friendica. I know both projects can use a little additional momentum.

    Back in the 1990s, my youngest uncle kept telling me to learn #COBOL instead of #Java (though at the time, I was taking courses with Microsoft #BASIC ... and later took both COBOL and Java, along with #Pascal, #Visual_Basic, #JavaScript, #Perl, #PHP, and more).

    At the time, he was making $100,000+ and taking time off whenever he wanted. I think he made a lot more during the fixes that prevented #Y2K from becoming the expected meltdown, but he then ran into headwinds because foreign programmers were being imported to do the work for a lot less than what he was accustomed to earning, so he retired.

    I thought about this back when the lockdowns geared up and state governors were crying about lacking the COBOL programmers to fix their unemployment insurance systems.

    Today is a very slow day. Ordinarily, I'd be using the company-paid #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning subscription to learn more about #MSAzure, #AWS, #PowerShell, or even #PHP.

    I take courses on both #Microsoft and #Amazon clouds, but never #Google, #IBM, #CenturyLink / #Lumen clouds. I need to look into those clouds.

    Looking for a hostable #pastebin for longer-term pastes. #PHP or #Python preferred. Definitely not Node.JS (so Hastebin is out, even though it otherwise looks impressive).

    We already have a PrivateBin for short-term pastes, but it has no concept of membership, and I really want this one to be primarily for !fnetworks members' use.

    https://phpaste.sourceforge.io/ might end up being the one. It is based on the original source for pastebin.com.

    @geniusmusing At one point, I was running these sites on a VPS running CentOS. In order to get a currently supported version of PHP (v.5.6 at the time), I had to find a 3rd party repo. The repo, for some reason, did not have a version of php-intl that worked, so every time there was an update, I had to use PEAR to download and compile it.

    (By the way, I don’t know if PHP has integrated that extension into the main executable yet, but if they haven’t, they should.)

    Anyway, I just visited https://www.php.net/supported-version.php and https://www.php.net/eol.php … I see that v.7.3.x is already unsupported except for security patches; v7.4 loses support in late November (security patches for another year afterward).

    Distros and projects should be moving to v.8.0.x, which is supported for another 18 months (with another year of security patches after that). I’m assuming that there are some breaking changes between the 7.x.y versions and the 8.x.y versions, so I can understand some grumbling from developers.

    However, the truth is that #PHP, like its ancestor #Perl, just evolved organically without any planning and now needs to clean up 🧽 🧹 inconsistencies and continue to tighten security. Hopefully, the pace of change will slow once those two things are accomplished.

    @dawsports @musicman The thing that I've noted is that the software in #RHEL / #CentOS is so old that people rely on sketchy third-party repos. When fresh.federati.net was around, I had to do that to get a #PHP version new enough to run GS.

    So if CentOS stream is newer, but not bleeding edge, and if it gave some warning of upcoming major changes, it might indeed be a better choice. Not for corporate apps,of course, but for hosting externally-developed projects, yes.

    No. I've been doing #PHP and #PowerShell courses for over a year on the employer-paid #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning site ( formerly #Lynda.com ), so even adding more courses on different sites isn't so much "starting" as it is moving my emphasis.

    https://reasonml.chat/t/bucklescript-8-1-new-syntax-option/2379

    Controversial update to #BucketScript riles the #Ocaml / #ReasonML community

    I was just thinking (thanks to an #IRC discussion this morning) about breaking changes in programming languages and how often they split the community (or get rolled back, sometimes before an official release). Examples: #Perl 6 (now called #Raku) was originally a replacement for Perl 5, but became its own separate language (and I’m hearing that Perl 7 is facing rough sailing with the language’s community, too); #PHP 6, with radical changes that were scaled way down (PHP 6 was skipped, but later parts of the 5.x series and the 7.x series implemented some of the proposed changes). Then I come across this.

    Weirdly, I’ve actually listened to two complete giganti-podcast episodes ... each one in a single session. That has never happened before.

    An episode of https://devchat.tv/ruby-rogues/ from several years ago, and an episode of https://devchat.tv/elixir-mix/

    So now, if you have suggested podcasts covering #PHP; the MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite databases; feel free to suggest them. I have no idea whether I will be able to continue this, but I’ll try for now.

    I understand why #PHP developers made it so that the language will not connect to “untrusted” sites (I even mostly agree with it). But if you’re trying to notify them of a problem, it would be nice if it got through.
