LA Indymedia

Due to the recent PHP security crisis, the LA Indymedia site is down. However, it's not out. It doesn't look like anyone hacked the site. I took it down to avoid being hacked. It'll be back soon! Here's what's happening.

The reason it's down is because the code was written back in the PHP4 era (pre 2005), and some parts were rewritten for the PHP7 era (pre 2015). The code is being fixed up to work with PHP8.5 (released in 2025). I'm using Thaura and OpenCode to rewrite the code, and so far, it's done a pretty amazing job.

When it comes back, it'll still look like the old 1999 site.
