Hello, I'm John, a British Army veteran with 10 years of service, including multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. A spinal injury cut short my military career, leading me to focus on my passion for web development. After getting titanium rods in my spine, I went from freelance to employed by Sky Bet. However, my surgery didn't fully work & I'm now confined to a bed much of the day, I now develop the site of a local cat rescue using Cypress; Laravel; Linux; Vite & Vue (to name but a few).

I've decided - I want an automation using #homeassistant that will monitor the drive camera for cars, then check the licence plate, and announce that my wife is home.

This is your periodic reminder to keep your dependencies updated.

`composer outdated` and `composer audit` are your friends! 🤓

[Tip#18] Dependencies are security risks, especially if you have a lot of them or don't keep them updated...

Hey @Amynearlyknowledgeable , thanks for the follow back, you're actually my 1st follower - although you didn't have to follow me back just because I followed you, I'm just a disabled developer building a site for a cat rescue.
I'm looking forward to following your paranormal journey 🙂

Laravel recently added a password validation rule to more easily enforce a maximum length. Why would you ever want to limit the length of a password? Here's an explanation how it actually improves security. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2024-02-05-why-does-laravel-offer-a-max-password-length-validation-rule

Doesn't hashing make this irrelevant?
