The Internet Archive was briefly forced offline because of PHP.

The list of sites that had to go down, at least temporarily, because of the recently disclosed PHP vulnerability keeps growing. Thankfully, the Internet Archive’s ops team quickly got things patched, secured, and back online. Digital librarian Brewster Kahle posted his thanks on Mastodon last night: “Given the severity, there are heroes in many many orgs from last night. Could have been no lights, no traffic signals, real problems.“

Carrie carries on.

It was pretty obvious from the show’s finale, but now it’s official: Mike Flanagan is making a second season of his Carrie remake on Prime Video. “From the beginning, we imagined a story that goes far beyond the prom, and I’m incredibly grateful for Stephen [King]’s trust and support in exploring what comes next,” Flanagan said in a statement.

Lego and Daft Punk have revealed a new collaboration that will include an upcoming set based on the pyramid stage design from the duo’s 2007 Alive concert tour. The Daft Punk Concert set was originally submitted to the Lego Ideas platform in 2020 by a father-son duo from Belgium, according to Variety, but has finally been approved for production by Lego after amassing 10,000 supporters.

Scientists are racing to save the banana.

We already basically lost the Gros Michel to Panama disease in the 1950s. The Cavendish replaced it in our fruit bowls, but because it’s sterile and relies on propagation, it’s threatened by climate change and disease. According to the Guardian, scientists may have found a solution: > This month, Yelloway – a research collaboration between Chiquita, the world’s largest banana company, and the crop-improvement company KeyGene – announced it had developed a fully fertile Cavendish banana, meaning it may be possible, through cross-breeding, to create new banana varieties that are commercially viable and resistant to disease.

Akai’s new MPK Mini Plus II is a lot of MIDI controller for $169. Technology

Akai’s new MPK Mini Plus II is a lot of MIDI controller for $169.

The keys were always the worst part of the MPK lineup, so the “upgraded keybed” is good news, even though it’s clearing a pretty low bar. But Akai’s pads remain the best in the biz, and the second-gen MPK Mini Plus adds polyphonic aftertouch. Plus, it’s got a full-color display and more hands-on controls than the original.

Two old-school Japanese mobile games are shutting down over the PHP exploit.

World Quest and Save My Demonic World have run for over a decade, but they’re built on older tech that the developers say can’t be updated to patch the apocalyptic PHP exploit disclosed this week. Because the vulnerability affects almost 20 years of PHP, big chunks of internet history are in danger of being lost. Per Kotaku: > Many old websites and services that are no longer being actively updated (or may simply be too old to receive the update, as was the case for these two games) are now at risk of permanently going offline. Such an event would lock swathes of the old internet from public view, including bits that were already beginning to break down and become inaccessible.
