I have just released Slim Framework 4.15.3. Among other fixes, it addresses a route parameter constraint bypass vulnerability in the routing component. If you are using Slim 4.0.0 to 4.15.2 & use route placeholder values without revalidating them, upgrade. www.slimframework.com/2026/08/31/s...

What the government is doing to trans people is a society-wide version of Section 28. It is a level of bureaucratic cruelty that utterly decimates a whole group of people’s rights and puts anyone who doesn’t ‘look’ right in the eyes of others under constant surveillance. It’s a horrific thing.

I am so furious about the toilet BS, which creates a totally bizarre environment in which nosey people can stop anyone from having a wee. What sort of govt feels good about creating the means to stop people having a wee? We need more free public toilets, not ways to make it harder to go to the loo

The hardest thing about blogging regularly is deciding that some trivial thing that I've worked out is worth posting. On the flip side, when looking something up, I'm very grateful that past-Rob decided to write it down!

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.
