My 2015 MacBook Air appears to have finally given up the ghost. I hadn't used it in a while and went to turn it on – nothing except the screen backlight.

I followed the usual steps of resetting NVRAM and SMC and it now just gets stup in a boot chime loop. It won't boot from a USB stick either.

@colinwalker Yikes, we have a 2015 Macbook and a 2012 Air still in use. I'd expect to get 10+ years out of a Mac, so that seems a little early for it to give up the ghost.

Colin Walker replied:

Yeah, I know. Luckily the 2015 MBP is going strong despite being dropped multiple times. I just used the Air for messing about with Linux.

The initial version of PHP-MST is now public on GitHub. It all seems to work okay without errors – Andy and I were having a brief conversation purely using our status tools. 😆👍

Thinking a bit more about how we feel it should all work we consider having 100 items displayed to be a reasonable amount so the next step will be to create temporary storage for a rolling 100 items – this will be in a CSV file rather than a database.

Item retrieval will then be able to happen in the background and the feed built from that file rather than on the fly. everything should then work more smoothly and page refreshes be quicker.
