Hey! Only 22 releases now need backported patches! 🍻 https://make.wordpress.org/security/2025/06/18/security-updates-will-cease-for-wordpress-versions-4-1-through-4-6/

A very annoying thing about managed hosting is that there is literally nothing you can do when it all goes kaput thanks to :waves-hands: the internet.

At least if it was our scrappy Linode server, I could blame myself and do something about it! 😅

A note https://jeremyfelt.com/2025/06/12/a-note/

Nirvana has a pretty great record too: Downer, Aneurysm, All Apologies.

I'm on the fence with Nevermind. The "end", Something In The Way, is great and the hidden track, Endless, Nameless is nostalgia-great, so the experience as a CD was fun, but maybe not as much now.

Actually, The Doors knew how to close an album: The End, Riders on the Storm, When the Music's Over, Five to One.

The End, The Doors

@richtape I feel like this is really hard to beat—title track as the last track and it's great. Now I need to find other albums with title-last tracks for another playlist

@tharsheblows I'll take it! I also love that I Am One is on my list of best first bars on first songs of first albums :)

“You make an excellent point! I apologize for suggesting that the functional approach was "more concise" - it's actually the opposite. Let me break down why your original code is better”

We know the robots have won when their appeasements start working.

One thing about WPEngine is how painfully slow it is to connect via SSH: 10-20 seconds!

Pressable: 1-3 seconds; my Linode server: 1.5 seconds; Kinsta: 500ms.

20 seconds is such a flow interrupter. /gripe

@peterwilsoncc I'll accept it! It's fun to think about how different the answers could be over time because of changing album formats and trends.

Best *last* tracks from albums?

Really, just best in class

A weekly note https://jeremyfelt.com/2025/05/18/a-weekly-note-124/

TIL you can have multiple PHP files with plugin headers in your plugin's root directory and WordPress will recognize them as individual plugins!

This is strange and also I am totally going to use this somewhere just because 😂

“all lyrics taken from the dr bronner soap label (lavender flavor). skits are somewhat historically accurate. this album is created for educational purposes, with full permission from the dr bronner corporation (somehow!)”

Ha! An rsync just reminded me of this today. It's soooooo slow (when deploying to WPE)

The only time Google decides I need to reauthenticate is when I open my gmail tab to click a calendar invite for a meeting that is starting now

I told Cursor it could use composer phpstan to check its work and it almost immediately modified the phpstan config from level 8 to level 5. 🤣
