Oh, I thought when I saw this, explainxkcd.com is going to be fun today. Except it's been taken down for maintenance because it's in PHP. #fourpocalypse #phpocalypse
welp, I’ve taken the small number of #wordpress sites I manage for friends offline for a couple of days in anticipation of the impending #PHPocalypse 🤪
tbh I’ve been planning to migrate them from my very shitty old webhost to my hopefully-not-shitty new web host for some time for a bunch™ of reasons but haven't had the spoons so ¯⧹(ツ)⧸¯
the longer-term plan is to replace all but one with static sites & leave one on wordpress for reasons of ease-of-use for the owner 🤷♀️
I always run things pretty locked down regardless of webhost / platform / dynamic or static, but with the old webhost I was stuck on an EOL version of PHP with no way to get onto a supported version without switching to a different hosting plan on a newer shared server (and more 💵💵💵) & doing complete site migrations anyway, so #php2shell is just a convenient excuse to accelerate the process
I really wasn't planning to spend today with my head inside web hosting stuff, but sometimes our priorities get set for us by external events 🙃
for anyone else with internet-facing #PHP assets… 👇
