Does anyone use WebHostMost.com? I just heard about it. They have a free tier that doesn’t require credit card info. Can run Node.js, Python apps, PHP.

A small kindly reminder that the so called "PHP exploit" was not exploited, wasn't an exploit, but was a planned release of a well known memory leak issue, which was leaked by two security companies because they wanted to make headlines and scream about how chatbots were gonna kill us all. No chatbot found a way to exploit the issue, one human did with extraordinary effort and knowledge of the target. Grow up, internet.

PHP was ahead. But at a staggering 1350 votes cast so far, python is pulling ahead again.
And still 10 hours until the poll closes.
Above all, this is testament to the engagement of both the PHP and Python communities.
Perhaps #php is not so dead after all
Hey!
I'm looking for some simple to understand and impressive examples of fun things teens might want to do with PHP.
Ideally interactive things their friends might want to try on a local intranet server.
PHP mixes with HTML in a really fun way, and I remember doing some neat tricks with it... but I'm very rusty.
What are the cutest things you've ever seen done with PHP?
(We will get to the issues with security later. Fun first.)

Happy Brooke Vibber day!
Today I am publishing, in full, an interview I did with @bvibber back in 2021 about the history of #Wikipedia and #MediaWiki.
https://blog.legoktm.com/2026/06/01/interview-with-brooke-vibber-2021.html
Topics covered include: aversion to change, BDFLs, #PHP, whether MediaWiki should RIIR, and more!
A few parts of this interview were published in the Signpost at the time, but most didn't make the cut solely for space reasons. So in light of recent events, I was looking back and thought it was still worth publishing.

Hey guys, you read my troubles with developing an ActivityPub / Mastodon multibot instance yesterday? Well, I got it working in the end and have already migrated four bots and added another two to it.
And here is the code that I open source now:

Would you like to run your own Mastodon (ActivityPub) bot and don't know how?
Try my tool: https://github.com/nekromoff/mastodon-bots
Easy to install, easy to deploy a bot. And then your bot can do whatever you want - create posts, communicate with people, post images or just sit there doing nothing and being a bot.
A full fediverse instance running on a simple shared host, in pure PHP, with no external dependencies. That is the idea behind Starling:

Enthusiasm for contributing to #PHP often fizzles out before it has a chance to catch fire. I've proposed a Working Groups RFC to change that. Here's the case for it and how you can help shape it.

New release of Mastodon Bots (ActivityPub Mastodon-copmpatible bot instance that is probably the quickest to spin up a new Fediverse content bot under 20 seconds):

🆕 blog! “A reasonably practical guide to validating RFC 9421 HTTP Signatures for ActivityPub in PHP”
If you're reading this, you've probably been hitting your head against a brick wall trying to parse and decipher the new HTTP Signatures sent by Mastodon and other Fediverse servers.

Laravel + PHP gains a batteries included package for ActivityPub support, with both draft-cavage and RFC 9421 HTTP Sig support and the ability to extend every aspect, with before() and after() hooks for easy custom processing.
It's quite amazing.
I'll be tagging a new release this week.
