“You have to respect the meaning of words and call things by their name, without cheating. It’s a question of honesty, pure and simple.”

Found in the the community book-exchange box down the street (the French version of a Little Free Library) down the street from my place. I just liked the cover, and I wasn’t disappointed with the find (⌒ω⌒).

Native WordPress updates: how they work under the hood, why they’re underrated, and how to automate more of the work involved in managing them ヽ(・∀・)ノ

About a week ago, I had the pleasure of giving a talk for @wpfr@piaille.fr about WordPress updates.

It was an important milestone for me and a rewarding exchange that gave me some great ideas for improving #Updatronix

The video is on WordPress TV. I’ll take the time to add captions for accessibility: wordpress.tv/2026/…

Friday Tools: I thought I’d share some lesser-known or fairly well-known projects that are absolute #bangers. ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ Whether it’s a website, software, or hardware I find useful and think might come in handy for you. And feel free to share your tool of the week, too!

The first tool I’d like to share is Winutil by Chris Titus, a Windows utility you run from PowerShell that lets you configure and debloat the operating system in three clicks. Super handy for those of us who, like me, are “the computer experts” in the family 😬. (Or for anyone who needs a secondary Windows installation.) Go give it a try—it’s really good!

Hi everyone! I’m @gsmendoza, a 18-year Ruby on Rails veteran. I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support. Thank you in advance for any connections, advice, or opportunities you can offer.

P.S. Thanks @wintermeyer for inviting me here! I love it!

I dont know people that work with Ruby on Rails, but boosting anyway! Wish you the best.

Great article by Calif, who discovered the PHP2Shell vulnerability (in parallel with and independently of Wiz, with the help of GPT‑5.6 Sol as part of OpenAI’s “Patch the Planet”).

And the comic is really fun 😊

The internet’s on fire over the ongoing #PHP vulnerability. Huge thanks to Hosterra for jumping on it so quickly. They’re mindful of water and electricity use, and they look after our websites, too. Absolute banger. ( ̄▽ ̄)

Fair, and yes the patch is what actually closes it, no arg there :) But they did more than warn: WAF rules pushed overnight + the vulnerable PHP feature disabled server-side this morning. That’s real exposure reduction and that’s why i’m happy :) while we wait for the fix landing today. That’s worth a shout-out.

Definitly librewolf, excellent browser!

A little gem I discovered a few days ago: Helium Browser. It’s been a long time since I last used a Chromium browser. I’ve been on team Firefox/LibreWolf for ages. But honestly, it’s a real pleasure to use: simple, straightforward, no fuss, and very fast.

Heads up for UpdraftPlus users: TeamUpdraft has confirmed unauthorized access to their systems that may have exposed UpdraftCentral connection keys, allowing an attacker to drop a backdoor on sites via Updraft Central. If you use Updraft, check for any unknown plugin that was installed (e.g. “Image Core”), delete your UpdraftCentral connection keys, change your passwords, and update the extension.

Good morning everyone :) Hope you’re doing well!

Just asking for a little bit of support from the Fedi community: for those who are using #Updatronix, could you leave a review on WordPress.org? It takes no time and helps so much: wordpress.org/support/…

Thank you, everyone. Have a nice day! #help #wordpress

On Thursday, October 15, I’ll have the pleasure of introducing Updatronix, a plugin I’m developing to simplify updates for your WordPress sites and spare you from doing everything manually (all the time).

Many thanks to WPFR for the opportunity to talk about my work (ᵔ◡ᵔ)

Its very cool, that this exists. This is already the second alternative to LinkedIn I disovered this week. There also is the Atmosphere/atproto based Sifa · Portable professional identity on the open web.

Thank you for sharing !

Sharing this is if you guys want to customize your Firefox design, and bring back the “not too rounded style” and icons (⌒▽⌒)☆ github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix

Hi, I’m new here. First time kinda nervous. Excited to meet all 6,278 of you!
