@PovilasKorop I would use “updated()”.
In case the database transaction fail to save, the image would already be deleted using “updating()”, resulting in data loss

Laravel tip: Observer `isDirty()` for SMART cleanup.
In Observers, check if specific column changed with `isDirty()` and get old value with `getRawOriginal()`.
Comes from my updated Laravel structure course: lesson "Before Saving: Mutator or Observer?"

@kartikkhosa @levelsio Imagine the amount of wasted Claude tokens just to read that file…

I'm now building HF's new server. I expect a move within 1-2 weeks but if things continue to go well maybe much sooner.
I just noticed that our PHP was last built in 2020. And even then it was old version (PHP 7.2). This is long overdue.
Rejoice, it's happening, finally.

@stanmenten @ploi_deploy What does that even mean? How many of your sites has SSL enabled? What might be more interesting is its SSL score, like from SSL labs?

#Laravel lazy() vs get()
Did you know.... You can stream large datasets from the DB using lazy() — way more memory-efficient than get().

@PovilasKorop In the past, companies love to hire junior devs without the huge educational background, since the industry mostly needed developers that could learn for them self.
Now with AI, we need developers that knows rules, patterns and best practices, to keep the AI agent in place.
English
So, almost no one is hiring junior devs.
Which means they need to study/practice longer, to get a job more like a mid-level.
So.. does it make them more even to other professions like lawyers or doctors, where they study 5+ years and can't get a job after a 3-month bootcamp?
English
@HackForumsNet Alternatively, there is also all the self hosted, open source git platforms. Like gitea or onedev. Fully self controlled, self hosted GitHub alternatives.
English
This is something I'm way more likely to use than Github.

🚨 10 fake npm packages (~9.9K installs) hid a cross-platform info stealer.
It spawns a fake terminal, pulls a 24 MB payload from 195.133.79[.]43, and drains keyrings — not just browser creds.
Instant access to email, cloud, VPNs, and prod DBs.

@HackForumsNet Ah yes, the classic ‘dad is suicidal over a wedding loan’ plot twist. Next they’ll tell you the groom is a Nigerian prince. I sadly see a growing trend in donation begging online.
English
@HackForumsNet I have been working on something for this already. But it’s a big project for a single dev 😅

HF is trying to do some CTF challenges. Maybe I can sponsor a team if we had more than skids on the site. Anyone up for the challenge to lead an official HF CTF team? #CTF #hacking
