Pet peeve: unspecific method names. Some might as well be called dealWithStuff().

I managed to save quite some money by cancelling subscriptions. Now, the ones I kept almost all want to increase prices, sometimes more than 30%.

We didn't get the Web we wanted, but the Web we deserved. We should have never accepted the subscription model for software. Now we can't walk it back. They'll keep taking and taking until they bring down the host that they need to survive. And then everyone would wonder "how did we let this happen?"

I just sponsored https://github.com/sponsors/Grub4K who fixed an issue that affected channel sync. You should sponsor them too.

Many new PHP-related videos are now available on https://phpc.tv!

Are there any folks in the PHP community with design skills willing to donate their time?

I need a 2736x650 cover for phpc.tv. No strong concept preferences, but perhaps something that incorporates thumbnails that have real people on it. No AI please.

I'll permanently affix your name on the design.

Does anyone in Canada have a spare external hard drive of at least 5TB they can donate? I'd like a local copy of the phpc.tv content as an extra precaution (I already have a cloud backup).

I've been going to conferences for 20 years. Not one person I've spoken to enjoyed the loud music during socials. In fact, almost everyone tells me that they'd rather have no music at all. They just want to have conversations with other people.

I don't know about you, but when it comes to PHP content, Bluesky appears completely dead. I don't understand why anyone even bothers to post there. The algorithm is about as bad as on Twitter. Am I the only one who experienced this with all my account there?

It's so frustrating dealing with LLM customer support. You take the time to craft and repeat the question, and it keeps ignoring it, saying the same banalities over and over, occasionally answering a question that you *didn't* ask. CloudFlare should be ashamed of themselves, giving human names to bots and making us waste time with dozens of worthless interactions. I feel like playing chess with a pigeon.

I thought I could finally enjoy a weekend, but the way phpc.tv uses @cloudflare@cloudflare.social is apparently against their ToS. So now I have to find out how to keep things running while remaining compliant, on a budget, on top of their having refused to raise the upload limit, which I also need to fix somehow. I guess this is why communities keep getting stuck with YouTube, Facebook and the likes. Unless you run everything out of your basement, there will always be someone threatening to pull the plug.

RE: @phpc_tv@phpc.social

This brings us to over 2,200 PHP-related videos!

It would help if y'all could ping conferences, user groups and other video creators, so I could focus on keeping things stable.

It's a simple process for them:

1. Request an account.
2. Copy YouTube's playlist or channel URL.
3. Paste to begin synchronizing: https://phpc.tv/my-library/video-channel-syncs

I don’t remember YouTube ever proposing a PHP-related video to me in decades on the platform, despite there being so many of them. Good PHP content is drowning among billions of unrelated videos.

Ask your favorite PHP YouTuber to sync their content to https://phpc.tv
