On the 18th of January, join the PHPUG Frankfurt meetup at the Reservix office for some great talks and a lot of fun.

For a recent project, I tried to enable Xdebug in our DDEV environment. What worked fine in the past did not work correctly this time. Once Xdebug was active, reloading the page resulted in a HTTP 503 error.

On the 10th of January, the PHPUG Rheinhessen meetup will reboot their meetup and meet again in Mainz at the e3n office.

At bitExpert, access management is handled conventionally, whereas system access is managed via our LDAP infrastructure. Since we have moved to Office 365 and Azure Active Directory (AAD) 3,5 years ago, we have to manage access in those two systems: LDAP and AAD.

I can't really recall when we started blogging initially, but we rebooted the bitExpert back in October of 2006, and ever since we migrated all content to newer blogging platforms.
