Or is this really prevalent in PHP ecosystem?

Not anymore.

You used to see eval a TON in like the early days, with like PHP 4 and 5. People just weren’t very experienced and PHP in itself had it’s limitations, and people worked around those by utilizing eval.

But modern PHP code rarely ever uses eval. Modern toolings like PHPMD even flag eval as an error, causing it to fail a pipeline if used in one. If you find eval in a codebase today, it’s either a badly modernized legacy one or written by a retard.

I use proxmox for basically anything in my homelab, but there’s no particular reason. I use it because it does what I need. It supports VMs in case I need a bit more control over what runs in the system (like a Windows VM) and it supports LXCs that fundamentally work like docker with less configuration steps. It provides a nice webUI if I need to check up on some things and an API so I can orchestrate all my systems with terraform.

It does the job and I never saw a reason to switch away from it.

Congrats to all the execs, you’ve completely ruined the tech industry.

No - I think they made it (involuntary) better by forcing people into looking into self hosting and taking control over their own infrastructure.
