We just finished a dental referral platform that had to be HIPAA-compliant. It moves real patient records between independent dental practices.

I learned a lot building it, and the security code turned out to be the easier part.

I'll post about it over the next few days.

We weren’t even done with Oct 21, and now this 😢

[Arc @arcinternet]

We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.

That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.

Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.

We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:

· Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
· Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
· Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
· The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.

Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

Yesterday was a long day for us and our whole community. Huge thanks to @laravel Cloud, Forge, and Vapor for the clear communication and the engineering effort to get thousands of servers and containers patched on time. There were a few hiccups, but it all ended well!

@weekley_k @samsappenfield1 And these times will return soon with @LaraconIN 2027!

Never imagined a Laravel guy would be opening iOS PRs.

Turns out you can just composer require courage 😎📱

@taylorotwell @avosalmon @jrmymbtlr It will really help to see hibernation status of each environment on the Application listing page 🙂

[LaraconIN @LaraconIN]

The Call for Papers for Laracon India 2027 is still open.

Never spoken at a Laracon? Start with a 10-minute lightning talk. One idea, one lesson, one thing you built.

You do not need a big topic to get on stage.

30-minute talks are open too.

Still time to get on the waitlist. People on it get first access when tickets open.

@vanveluwen 🤣

[Abbas Ali @_abbas]

I will not let that 3% go to waste 👿

[Abbas Ali @_abbas]

@laravel @ranium Kind of, @laravel, to share this.

The line I'd underline: in regulated software, "access is restricted" is a claim. A test that proves someone was refused is evidence. Only one of those survives an audit!

[Laravel @laravel]

Our friends at @ranium run 2,350 tests in 40 seconds to prove every access rule in their HIPAA app holds.

Abbas Ali shows how with Laravel.

Want that same care from your host? Laravel Cloud adds a firewall and DDoS protection to every app by default.

[Ranium Systems @ranium]

Laravel is a serious stack for regulated healthcare, and not for the reason most people assume.

We shipped a multi-tenant HIPAA platform on it. All 12 technical safeguards of the Security Rule, satisfied & evidenced.

What earned that wasn’t any one feature. It was conventions.

[Abbas Ali @_abbas]

@kiekbjul @laravel I am not sure how that works, but since Laravel Cloud also uses Cloudflare, we can create a CNAME on the root domain and point it to Laravel Cloud.

[Abbas Ali @_abbas]

Off to @laravel Cloud 🚀

Will be moving all our apps to Laravel Cloud this week!

[Abbas Ali @_abbas]

@azath0th @laravel Well, I have been using Laravel Cloud for quite some time for client projects. Just that moving all of our internal apps/sites now 🙂

The internal projects are always a low priority compared to paying client projects 😜

@MrPunyapal Happy Birthday Punyapal 🎂
