Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

🚨 A MASSIVE internet security emergency is unfolding right now. 🚨
Two CRITICAL vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, potentially putting millions of websites at risk.
→ NEARLY 70% of websites with a known server-side language run PHP. The potential scale is ENORMOUS.
→ TWO CRITICAL security flaws have been confirmed, each scoring 9.2/10 in severity.
→ Attackers could potentially take control of vulnerable servers remotely, without authentication.
→ Reports suggest PHP versions dating back to 2004 could be affected. The exact scope is still unconfirmed.
→ EMERGENCY PATCHES are scheduled for TOMORROW at 10 AM ET. Website owners are being urged to prepare immediately.
→ Europe's CERT-EU is warning organizations to patch ASAP or consider TAKING EXPOSED APPLICATIONS OFFLINE if they cannot be secured.
→ WordPress, Magento, Laravel and potentially millions of other PHP-powered websites could be at risk.
→ Once patches go public, hackers could reverse-engineer them and race to attack servers that haven't updated.
The vulnerabilities are CONFIRMED. The full technical details remain secret.
Tomorrow, the race between hackers and defenders begins.
This could get ugly. FAST.
Had a Nissan Ariya for 2 years. £8k warranty work to replace components to try and get it to update properly OTA.. zero success. Legacy manufacturers just can't compete with Tesla etc.
If the $3000 included regularly replacing the AI box with newer hardware to keep pace with AI improvements, probably the box... Otherwise, $20/month as industry is moving far too fast to consider a device running ".. forever"
In a similar boat. Hermes seems to be getting more fragile and the lack of mobile app is an issue as is the perpetually broken desktop app. All in all, @bot wins hands down for immediate usability & simplicity.
I suppose it depends whether you’re adult enough to plug your car in without a pointless thing that’s supposed to somehow encourage you 🤷🏻♂️
Painfully disappointing first experiences of @NousResearch Hermes Desktop on Windows along with the new Bots features. Compared to a seamless setup with @bot and instant usefulness, trying to cajole anything to actually work is like pushing water uphill.
@dawsonmark81 - probably a whole lot easier to either use HomeAssistant to manage your battery charging or get the wiring adjusted / CT clamp moved so the battery or solar can't see your EV charger and doesn't start discharging.
Seems to be all over the place at the moment. If it doesn’t sort out suspect will be switching to @edfenergy as life is too short to have to babysit it!
Having had the misfortune of running an Ariya for the last 18 months, wouldn't touch the Leaf with a barge pole. Software is awful; Nissan's so far behind Tesla in features or even basics like updates & apps that it's crazy. Add poor service / no EV techs and.. just don't.

Claude Opus 4.7 just got dethroned by a Chinese AI model.
And nobody's talking about it.
Kimi K2.6:
→ #1 coding model on OpenRouter
→ 7x cheaper than Claude Opus 4.7
→ 100 sub-agents in parallel
→ 1,500 total steps per task
Here's what happens when you build instead of hype
