That has nothing to do with shitty hosters.
Take a look at Ubuntu, for example. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is supported until 2030. It ships with PHP 7.4. While 20.04 LTS is in support, any main packages will receive security update through backports.
So if a company settles on Ubuntu, they usually stay on an LTS as long as possible. Migrating to new OS versions is not only a cost factor, but also has risks.
So you see, it’s not that hosters are all shitty, but that they follow usual business practices.
heads up, next static image is going to use php 8.1.

You can use a PPA to get recent PHP in any Ubuntu version: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php
Glad we are moving towards a recent PHP Version in tt-rss as well! I just switched back to master without manual patches. It seems to work nicely.
For the future, we should aim to add support for new PHP versions quickly after release.
8.0 was not recent enough for you?
this kind of rhetoric works better when you contribute code, not shitposts.
No it wasn’t recent, because it is not latest. You might have heard there are performance boosts in every PHP update, so there is the reason to stay up to date. Apart from good practice of not staying on old versions.
I contributed code here in the past, but with your attitude I will avoid this community in the future.
oh lol

Want to guess how we know you didn’t contribute?
