it’s PHP that needs the patches. Yes you should take the site down until PHP has been patched.

edit: assuming you are hosting wordpress yourself. if you’re using a large 3rd party service that manages PHP itself like wordpress themselves, one should hope that they will be updating PHP early, before the patch is even released publicly.

That blog post is *really* light on details. Maybe they assume readers will already know what to expect?

This page appears to be the official list of everything that’s coming with 6.8 next week: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6

Things that stood out to me include removal of X11 as a default option at login, triple buffering enabled for Nvidia, Remote Desktop improvements including 2-way clipboard, improvements to screen recording including recording audio and better screen casting performance.

And finally “Shadows and rounded corners for Steam”. Steam has always been visually quirky to say the least, so I’m intrigued to find out if this will be an improvement or not.

or, of course, it could be that you’re just so much better than everyone else, right?

This is actually a list of resolved CVEs. The sender has an email address at debian.org so they’re clearly not just some random script kiddie with an LLM subscription.

AFAIK it depends on the device. I believe it’s simpler to have a battery management system which keeps the battery charged when power is attached, and then a second separate system which powers the phone from the battery. That does lead to more wear on the battery though, so the better solution is to have a power management system which monitors the battery and keeps it within a set charge range, and additionally can supply the voltage needed to run the phone. Only when power is not connected does the battery power the phone.

From a quick google though, it seems that’s only part of the picture. High-end modern phones will often require a battery present, as they use it to smooth out the power coming from the adapter, even though most of the power for the phone when the charger is attached comes from a direct power path.

Was it Andy Burnham by any chance?
