Over the last few weeks I’ve been making the horrifying leap from PHP5 to PHP8. I knew it was going to be a lot of work to upgrade all my various scripts and web pages but I’m nearing the end, just have some random CLI scripts still failing that I have to work through.

I’ve been making a big push this year to get all my servers caught up to supported operating system levels. Debian will truly run forever even when it really shouldn’t. I was happy to finally get my mail servers modernized last month. The old code I had relied on for managing spam scanning and such had been abandoned but I finally discovered rspamd which replaced everything plus does so much more. The first couple weeks saw an awful lot of server emails being marked as spam while I trained the new system, seems to be settling in nicely now though, and I created some new spam-trap mailboxes and sprinkled the addresses around several web pages. Nice to see their activity picking up again.

You might try ordering from ebay. I find a lot of vendors sell there, and at least you know you’re actually getting the product from the person you ordered from, rather than a box randomly stuffed with “similar” products from all sellers.

I had so much hope for this, at the time it seemed to be so much better than Windows, but for me the lack of software was the real killer. I actually still have the install CD sitting here by my monitors. Eventually I switched over to linux because Windows continued failing to impress me after all those years.
