Websites taken down worldwide as critical PHP cyber-security update issued - BBC News

Darn it, my business website runs on a rather old version of PHP, so unlikely it will still work if I update to the latest version.

Seem to be a few PHP code checkers available on line, anyone tried them? Which is best?]]> Technical xoggoth https://forums.contractoruk.com/technical/151467-php-cyber-security.html https://forums.contractoruk.com/technical/151458-air-purifier.html Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:44:23 GMT
I always run the stove with the window in the room open, and with the stove running, the level is under 10.

Anyone recommend an air purifier to keep the pm2.5 level down? It's a smallish room under 20m².]]> Technical Protagoras https://forums.contractoruk.com/technical/151458-air-purifier.html https://forums.contractoruk.com/technical/151457-python-web-gui.html Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:51:06 GMT
Thinking about a tech stack for this ...
Python - seems to be a reasonable choice
Data storage - should I store data in arrays, or write it to a SQL DB?
GUI - which Python GUI framework to display values and graphs and allow controls to switch between these.

Expanding on this, I'd really like to display this on a low power display like TRMNL, but this that this is probably a Phase 2. It would be handy to have a display on the wall - this could also show real-time electricity use.

Any thoughts / recommendations?]]> Technical Protagoras https://forums.contractoruk.com/technical/151457-python-web-gui.html
