Oh FFS! "CloudLinux backported the security fixes onto the previous PHP release and built new packages, which we've deployed to all Web Hosting servers. These new builds keep the previous version number. That means your site may still report a version like 8.5.11 or 8.2.34"

Pet renewal time again with @manypets_uk . I expected an increase but jesus - the whole Pet insurance/vet fees are out of control. Here are my stats for the last 6 years of continuous cover. Single claim for £71 in 2025-2026 + 43% increase for this year.

If I accept their renewal quote it would equate to +176% increase in premiums since I originally took out cover

Sounds like most SaaS
Imagine you have a pub: It's successful and busy so, if the odd customer comes in who is down on their luck, you let them drink for free. But of course, they tell their mates, so more people down on their luck come to your pub for free drinks. And they tell their mates... ...until half the people in the pub are drinking for free and the pub is struggling. What do you do? Put your prices up for the dwindling number of people who are actually paying and keep letting more people drink for free? Or Set limits on number of people who can drink for free? Or Go bust? Or ?

The fact that AI can generate a realistic 1950s Super Mario movie with just a few prompts is mind blowing. We are so not prepared for what AI can do. 📎👀 @AISafetyMemes , @elonmusk

The MiniDisc is undeniably a game-changer, bridging the gap between the iconic Discman and the revolutionary iPod. Have you ever gotten your hands on a MiniDisc and experienced its magic firsthand?
