Freelock Blog: The Night the Internet Tried to Kill Your Website

The Night the Internet Tried to Kill Your Website John Locke

May 2026

The rain had been falling on the city for weeks.

Not real rain. The kind that falls on the internet - a constant drumbeat of probes, scans, and automated fists rattling every doorknob on every block, every hour of the day. Most people don't hear it. That's fine. That's what we're here for.

My name doesn't matter. Call me the op. I run a small shop - we keep websites alive, patch the holes before the wrong people find them, and make sure that when something goes sideways, there's always a way back. It's not glamorous work. But this spring? This spring was something else.

The Drop Times: Mike Gifford Says Accessibility Must Be Built Into Workflows Before AI Scales Bad Patterns

Drupal Core Accessibility Maintainer Mike Gifford says organisations risk accelerating inaccessible digital experiences when accessibility remains dependent on isolated advocates instead of embedded governance systems. Speaking as part of The DropTimes' continuing Global Accessibility Awareness Day coverage, Gifford argued that sustainable accessibility depends on integrating accountability, workflows, testing, and organisational culture directly into development infrastructure before automated systems amplify poor practices at scale.

ezSystems are classy folks

cover
Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.

Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!

On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

PHP april fools...

1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:

1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.

2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.

3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?

4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...

5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!

I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!
