I don't at all mean to be insensitive to those currently scrambling to take care of things, but days like today make me glad I'm not a sysadmin anymore.
Stay safe out there, beloved server monkeys. π«‘
@rl_dane I'm happy that we don't have much stuff that relies on php, and it's all just intranet stuff, I'm really happy that we have very little external stuff.
@sotolf@polymaths.social same here, mostly intranet. There's some stuff that could be accessed over the internet but those will be fine on the intranet or only via a specific IP range for the time being. If people get some mild inconvenience then so be it.
@paul Yeah, it seems like the patch has reached repos now at least which is good. But I know if we had more stuff open outwardly that we manage and are connected to our stuff I would really be shitting my pants :p
@rl_dane i'm not even a sysadmin and got scrambling to take care of things
my school's website was built with php and had to search for 4 professors so i could tell them that the school network could be compromised by this
@rl_dane you would think that a school in which students have 7 hours of computer science and programming a week would know better :/
You'd think. But at least they were actually using in-house-developed stuff! I've been to huge, rich universities that just used Blackboard, Outlook/Office 365, and crap like that. π€¦ββοΈ
@rl_dane

I had at some point broken security updated and hadn't realized until tonight NGL
