Today I got 2 phishing messages via the DM system of a freelancer platform. Tricky to spot, because the DMs are delivered as legit emails from the platform itself. The only giveaway: a shady short-URL. If they had registered a lookalike domain, I’d probably have clicked. 1/2

Great read! 🤖

I just transferred a domain to a different registrar. My DNS records were already managed at a different provider, so I just wanted to point the domain to those nameservers again. I was prepared for a little downtime and immediately tried to change the nameservers after the transfer was done… 1/5

Laravel 12 is Now Released

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

This is f***ing great! 🤣

Tagged a bugfix release of the robots-txt package, thx to this issue github.com/crwlrsoft/ro... by Martin-Matchory. 🙏💪🏻

Posted an article! 🤓📚

Google is serving a malware version of the homebrew link to some users. Isn't ad-driven SEO great? Via x.com/ryanchenkie/...

Yay! My @spatie.be Shirt and Stickers (Top Secret Challenge Goodie) arrived! 🤩😊💪🫶 Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻

CSS z-index can be such a pain! 🙈

Love the new 24h view in the google search console 🙂

Does anybody know: would I be notified if I was part of any Starter Packs here?

I feel sad when PHPeers mostly post in their native language, which I don’t speak. I mostly don't follow those accounts, even though their posts could be very insightful. It feels very unfortunate, as I love how connected the PHP community is globally! 1/2

Ah, it seems like XPath is no longer an option in the new DOM API in PHP 8.4. I assume it won’t be a problem if we remove this feature in a new major version of the crwlr/crawler library?

I have to say though, the documentation and autocompletion in PhpStorm for the new DOM API still leave room for improvement! Maybe I can find some time to write down what I learned about it.

Great to finally see php.net improvements! 💪🫶🐘

Decoded all 5 daily messages on topsecret.spatie.be! 🥳 Loved it! Actually sad that it's over already! 🫢

Whoop, whoop! 🙌🏻 Thanks for following! 🥳

Crazy sh*t 😂

Is there already a counterpart for "tweet" and "to tweet" for bluesky? It'd be so convenient! Whereas it’s very inconvenient to always having to write "bluesky post" or "to post on bluesky" or something.

@spatie.be The challenges are really fun to solve! 🫶 And a free ray license is definitely worth the effort! 😯🥳

Decoded the second daily message on topsecret.spatie.be 🙂💪🏻

I really like it here, but does anyone else experience super long initial loading times in the browser after bluesky has been closed for a short while—like, a few hours at most?

I decoded my daily message on topsecret.spatie.be and got a nice prize! I like that kind of challenge! Can't wait for the next ones! 😊🤓👏🏻

With so many people joining, I already feel like a Bluesky OG, having been around for over a year! 😅😜

Please! 😍🐘

We've assembled a starter pack of just a few of the awesome voices from the #PHP community here on Bluesky. But don't stop here! Take a look at who these folks follow for more great following ideas. go.bsky.app/SkXz8C8

Introduce yourself with four video games A lot of donkey kong here! 😅

I just added accounts for: my open source web crawling and scraping library crwlr: @crwlr.bsky.social and my web crawling and scraping SaaS tool @crwlio.bsky.social Follow if you're interested in web crawling and scraping (with PHP)!

www.php.net/releases/8.4... 🥳🚀💪 It's out! I like the release page with code examples! Well done! 😊

The amount of ads and overlays of all kinds on a lot of sites is just ridiculous! 😔🙄

Trying PHP 8.4 for the first time today. Already love the new DOM features. Especially natively having CSS Selectors ☺️🫶 I'll also immediately start to make all crwlr packages fit for PHP 8.4! 💪

"Emoji use isn't considered professional" Just doesn't resonates with me. Often emojis can provide a better sense of how a person is feeling at the time they write a message or how they want to bring a message across. Be yourself 🤗

Where did you new followers suddenly come from last week? I’ve been pretty inactive here on Bluesky for months! 🤔

It’s release day! 🥳 v2.0 of the crawler package is finally out! 🚀💪🏻 A lot of work went into removing deprecated 1.x features. Now we can focus on new features and improvements again! Check out the detailed upgrade guide here: www.crwlr.software/packages/cra...

crwlr/crawler v1.10 is out: github.com/crwlrsoft/cr... Documentation is upgraded: www.crwlr.software/packages/cra... It's most likely the last minor version before 2.0! 💪🚀
