  Is there somebody who runs PHP on native windows (with Xdebug) and can run a simple script for me? It must be in a file (`test.php`): ``` <?php echo microtime(true), "\n"; xdebug_connect_to_client(); echo microtime(true), "\n"; ``` And run like: php -dxdebug.log_level=11 -dxdebug.log=c:\temp\xdebug-i.log -dxdebug.client_host=localhost -dxdebug.client_port=9111 -dxdebug.mode=debug c:\temp\test.php With the port 9111 not open. Would love to see the output and log file (...

  I got myself a sheet of Sun-safe filter material, and McGuyvered a pop-up filter for my lens. The first attempt sort of worked, but I didn't get the filter 100% straight. Luckily I have more material. But this is sort of my first attempt, and a few sunspots are clearly visible on the right of the image. Warning: Never look at the Sun without protection! #Sun #Photography #Astronomy #AstroPhotography

  Little Owl owlet This lovely owlet was quite easy to find in a London Park, with some help as they camouflage so well! I saw its sibling too. #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfFediverse #Photography #Nature #London #BirdsOfMastodon

  I went to a park (Bushy Park) to look for some owls. I found Owls (Little and Tawny), but also a Green Woodpecker and two Kingfishers. Snaps from my camera screen, and real photos will follow, but not of the Kingfishers as they were too far away and the photos are blurry. #london #BirdPhotogaphy #BirdsOfMastodon #Birds #photography #BirdsOfFediverse #BushyPark

  @ciaran@mcnulty.social @heiglandreas@phpc.social @Skoop@phpc.social @Girgias@phpc.social "hoping" is doing the heavy lifting in that sentence.

  I've just finished reading "Schoofhondjes" (in Dutch). A great collection of columns, although I did need to Google some of the names and references as I hadnt heard about all of them! #Reading #BookList2026

  @gravitystorm@m.gravitystorm.co.uk @harry_wood@en.osm.town I usually find I need to amend the penultimate commit, so `git rebase -i` is my friend.

  I had a lovely walk around RSPB Bowers Marsh yesterday, where I saw some expected birds, and a bunch of new species. When I got there, there was this welcome committee of Starlings. #BirdPhotography #nature #BirdsOfFediverse #Birds #Photography #RSPB

  I consider myself a decent photographer, but then you find out about the likes of Angel Fux (https://www.angelfux.com/portfolio), and I would like to crawl into a hole.

  Staring Contest with a Squirrel On my walk on the weekend, I sat down on a tree branch of a tree that had fallen over some time ago. Just listening to the birds. Then after hearing rustling in the foliage above me, I looked up, and saw this chap staring at me. #London #Photography #Nature #HampsteadHeath

  The Early Cormorant Catches the Eel Sorry, not the best photo! But I caught this Cormorant catching this large eel when looking for Bank Swallows, right next to Eel Pie Island in the Thames. #Birds #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #Photography #London

  I went to my nieces' birthday party yesterday. The theme was pink, and that included all the food, mostly died with beet root. Shock and horror this morning when doing number two. Not only was my turd dark red, it was also glittering at me. Apparently the carrot cake had edible glitter... So now I know what's worse than glitter. 😂 ✨ 💩 🟣

  RE: https://phpc.social/@Xdebug/115662135830755552 I have just released Xdebug 3.5.0! In the next few weeks I will create some content (text, and perhaps video) highlighting some new features in more detail. Please share it with the world! #php #php85 #xdebug #debugging

  Long-Tailed Tit on a Branch with Lichen I've been spending some time in random London local nature reserves. Sitting and listening, and in fifteen minutes you spot countless species. This one was in Ham Lands Local Nature Reserve near Teddington. #london #BirdPhotogaphy #BirdsOfMastodon #Birds #LichenSubscribe

  I've published a new blog post: "Human Creations", on the difference in content generation by LLMs, and the creation of text, art and code by humans. You can find it at https://derickrethans.nl/human-creations.html or at @blog #writing #ai #content #fediverse #MadeByHumans
