The point is evaluating your stack once in a while. Eventually, you may need to switch or it may be worthwhile, even if you can stick with your current stack at a disadvantage.

For an extreme example, WordPress with crap page builders. It may not have been "that bad" when you started with it. But by now its very much worthwhile to switch. You don't "need to", but you should.

Back to this post, maybe they really are at that point that slowly switching is worthwhile. At least partially, where it makes the most sense (they mention using some microservices written in Go).

Personally I doubt I'll ever reach the switching point. But the trend for PHP devs seems to be switching to Go (when they do switch).

I don't have a favourite new feature, but I'm just learning about the Compound constraint which I'll definitely put to use in the near future.

I do have a favourite deprecation, of Removing the Default Garbage Collector Probability option. I've had weird and spaced out crashes when developing before I knew about this. Apparently this is to remove stale sessions once in a while. According to this comment, Debian based distros already handle it cleanly with a cron job, so I just unset that Symfony setting

As long as optional parameters are placed last, I don't see why not.

PHP8's named parameters lessen the pain of using a function with optional parameters spread around, but I still stick to that rule.

This one in South Korea is pretty recent (October 2022).

A special police team conducted an investigation of the disaster within a few days of it occurring, and concluded on 13 January 2023 that the police and governments' failure to adequately prepare for the crowds, despite a number of ignored warnings, was the cause of the incident.

Ok, I understand what you meant, thanks.

Basically, after I’ve read all of that, it’s clear as day that security is not a priority on Testing. And while band-aid solutions do exist, it’s simply not designed to be secure.

Yeah, I wouldn't run it in a production environment.

Sure, but even in those "few cases" Testing will get them soon.

I did read at some point that Testing may receive security updates later than stable, might be in those cases in which backports come straight from unstable.

I don’t recommend going for (Debian’s/Devuan’s) testing (branch) as it targets a peculiar niche that I fail to understand; e.g. it doesn’t receive the security backports like Stable does nor does it receive them as soon as Unstable/Sid does. Unstable/Sid could work, but I would definitely setup (GRUB-)Btrfs + Timeshift/Snapper to retain my sanity.

From https://backports.debian.org/ :

Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing"), adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian stable

So by definition, security backports in stable are present in Testing in the form of regular packages, right?

I remember having some issue like that, but I'm not sure if this was the fix.

Try unchecking "Show desktop notifications when the song changes" on Spotify's settings (right now it's under the Display section).

Makes sense, thanks.

New to Linux: in which case would you stick with an "old-old-stable" release?

Software incompatibility?

At first glance the difference in width comes from the front wings, which protruded beyond the wheels in the '22 cars.

So hopefully the wings last longer in wheel to wheel action.
