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. 🫡

@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

@sotolf yeah same here.

Don't ever run anything public-facing unless it's clearly in your line of responsibility and you're staffed and organized for it.

@fedops @paul Yeah, only open to the net thing we have is an sftp server and that is running with whitelisted IPs, so I'm not sure if you can call that open.
