A veteran of the British Army, I did 3 tours of Iraq & 1 Afghanistan - all with an undiagnosed broken back. I now live on a bed in my living room. An ex-software engineer. I now run the tech side of "Buttons Cat Rescue", & just starting my trading journey
Wow! I'm just looking at my next project after a while away from coding. When I left PHP8.4 had just been released, & now I'm looking at a potential PHP8.6 on the horizon!
I last use Laravel when it was version 10, and I've never created an API focused project before, so I need to do some research!
I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.
As a European (well, English) - I'd rather they ramp up they increase taxes all over the EU (& the UK) & self-fund Ukraine, taking Trump out of the loop - then he won't have influence - Putin is going to push things as far as he can - then farther... then farther.
@akilstokesrtm.bsky.social Hey Akil, I just wanted to check to see if you use BlueSky, or whether it's just an auto cross-feed that publishes it to here.
Would love to pick your brain
Thanks

Peckphp! What a package, so easy to use. Love it! One run, couple of typos, now gone! Thanks @nunomaduro.com !

Was he paid to show up at the town hall with Kansas Senator Marshall (who got up and walked away when asked about veterans/DOGE?). This is worth watching from Chuck Nunn vimeo.com/1062230334/6...
How much of an absolute toddler is Trump to demand an apology. Just so small
A major Norwegian fuel company is refusing to provide fuel to U.S. warships after the “shitshow” in the White House yesterday over Ukraine. This is the way. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...
"This is why I kept this going for so long..." - Dick Trump.
He wanted to make a public fool out of Presedent Zelenski
I'm so mad right now. President Zelensky walked into a planned ambush by Trump & his pet. Trump plannedfor the media coverage to be there when it blew up as he actually hinted at.
I wish I could go over to Ukrain and fight for good.
@georgetakei.bsky.social I've said it before & I'll say it again; I think Putin has got something on Trump - for a start twice the I.Q.; the KGB training (& everything that goes with it).
The question is... what else does he have on him?
A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.
I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni
Says it all.
4 bloody hours, and I still can't get my computer to boot. For some reason I can't get it to recognise the name drive (although it works fine from USB Live installation). I'll have small break then back to it
Ok. For the past 2 hours I've been trying to get my system back up and running. I thought I had it a minute ago when "nvme" was moving from the GRUB modules... But alas not

Hey, Everyone... Happy New Year! Final backup is now complete, and it's time to re-install Arch Linux :-)
Post from Janel Comeau, “backsliding into fascism just 80 years after WWII is like failing an open-book test in a room where the answers are written on the board and also being constantly read out loud over a loudspeaker.”
And yet here we are.
Elon’s politics are disturbing.
Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.
Awesome!
Tech support? Naa here is a pro tip to get the free ChatGPT subscription 😂 Turing test can go to the dev null 😂
Nuno, I initially created a site and admin system in Vue 3, but constant revisions and tweaks are a nightmare. Just finishing switching to Filament. An absolute Godsend! All changes in PHP can be done/uploaded straight away. (Obviously shows a lack of structure & procedures on my part, admittedly)
Congressman Maxwell Frost tweets picture of Elon Musk puppeting Donald Trump with the caption, “I’m just gonna leave this right here…”
Okay one more. I love this energy from the young Dems.
Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.
😅
It's perfectly okay to admit "I don't know" when faced with tech challenges or problems at work. Recognizing our limitations, even while constantly connected, is a valuable trait. Just saying…
It'll be a month or two before I have time to do it, but when I get back around, I will have a look at the install script, before I just go through the installation pages manually (it's the only time I get to play with some of the more core commands that set the system up.
