Long story
Kracker [dot] org hosts quotes from kracker [himself] since 1999.
In 2026/05 kracker wrote code in PHP to query the internet archive wayback machine web services (cdx) for all pages for domain slashdot.org since 1997 to the current year.
We wanted to mirror the fortune footer quotes content found on the site and archived on archive.org servers.
The project was a success and at the time of this writing we have scraped and imported over 3838 quotes and counting as we are not yet finished with the archival work.
See that every page load on kracker.org network of sites now displays new content in the end of the pages; a footer quote from slashdot which is dynamic and database driven and multi stage very very random.
Happy 6/7 Kiddos! Collect all the quotes on earth!

It's been a busy time during the last few month of active daily developments for the Exponential Open Source Project.
We have released so much it's become tiring and time consuming to just ship it, let alone to write press / social media for each one.
As such press efforts may lag behind the official development team's rapid growth rate.
We are still actively seeking more detailed user feedback to incorporate into our release cycle (for roadmap progress) for our many projects.

News on share, the exponential blog, 7x blog, 7x news and linkedin.
As I take a minute to remember where I came from. As an outsider looking inwards towards greater heights of personal achivements and programing success.
I remembering the eZ Publish Greatness that changed Lives for the Better with the simple lessons found in
"The eZ Song" (YouTube Video Of Song; Easy Listening Music; 'The Sharing Song' By Jack Johnson). Here are the Lyrics.
Hi friends,
i write today regarding the subject matter of this previous post (eZ Publish Project and Portal Development for ezpublish.one (now redirecting to exponential.earth)) regarding the need to continue to drive the development of key technologies and infrastructure deliverables within the Exponential.earth Website Building Platform Network.
Since writing here on blog.kracker.org and on the exponential blog (eZ Publish Needs A Package Server Updated For 2023) more publicly about the future needs still very real today I’m proud to document the progress so far.

All this happened in a very very short period of release window time. But has been being designed and implemented in my very mind's eye for decades while waiting for the right time.
New websites
- support.exponential.earth - A way to browse the available extensions, use them, get support faster.
- projects.exponential.earth - A restored functional extension development forge designed to provide users with tools to create their own application software plugins.
What is still needed
A built into the cms gui extension composer based package manager and app store.
- New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for package management like composer require commands to install composer packages of extensions. Note already supports updating via composer update commands.
- New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure database dumps. timestamped, versioned, handlers to support dynamic encryption for dumps. Also requires anonymous security content filter to exclude registered user’s passwords or emails or user names or other privacy concerns.
- New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure compressed dumps of database+timebased installation var directory hordes files are stored in a. timestamped, versioned, handlers to support dynamic encryption for dumps.

More ideas as time permit.
Happy Hacking!
I love watching the timeless classic episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) on in the background on my high resolution wide screen Samsung TV (a gift from a friend) on the getMST3k.com network for free (no cost). You can also watch the same network content stream i watch on my samsung television here via shout.
This is the main project portal for the eZ Publish Community.
This portal stands as a testament to the years of developer time and resources exhausted by individuals worldwide working towards a greater good resulting in a substantial open source lamp php based cms website building platform of software and addon packages created and kept online to ensure this project to support the end users of this platform. It's true that ezpublish users do still exist due to the historically problem free use of eZ Publish Platform (Regardless of actual Edition or Distributor) existing sites just keep serving pages without issues.
It's new projects that only had issues with the core eZ Systems Distribution in PHP8 Support and this was solved by 7x in 2023 resulting in the 7x Distribution of eZ Publish Legacy which now replaces for general use all previous versions of eZ Publish Legacy.
This portal promotes this open source project resources online to end users and developers who still believe in supporting eZ Publish today for continued deployment and development world wide as one of the most successfully reliable software projects the world has ever known.
We believe so much in eZ Publish core concepts and using the stable and reliable investment the GNU licensed software provides with minimal effort to the end user to develop in a sane way within PHP language without daily problem that end up being brick walls that we are still advocates for its continued use and software development in 2024 without eZ Systems/Ibexa involvement and instead 7x will drive development for future releases.
With eZ projects are more organized and rationally planned and implemented resulting in a maintainable solution basis that can regularly be extended via daily opportunities of time and effort resulting in fresh web applications that rarely need support or maintenance, they just keep running so smoothly.
The portal delivers extended and organized information about eZ Publish today and in the future we are looking into expanding this offering to include packages from version control systems through a friendly to use portal section i'm calling extensions.ezpublish.one. In this developer focused portal for the eZ Publish Community called eZ Publish Extensions!
Which should provide a listing of package providers, listing of package provider packages ordered by type (ordered categories list per package), last updated and created dates or other variable criteria, package star rating, package reviews, package comments, package issues, package activity listing embed for multiple uses throughout the site (atom feed for this same content in a different form), composer integration: vendor and package name display and storage, github / git / vcs / file integration: import projects from GitHub eZ Community Extensions Mirror Leader 7x / se7enxweb as master record of working software currently available for installation, we should support files and urls as equals as much as possible.
In the package display view we should include package download via custom user action commands (git, file link, composer, etc) each with extensive meta data needed to fully absorb the full availability to use this package immediately.
7x eZ Update extension could be updated and integrated to make composer package installation in admin simple and effective.
This would result in a full replacement under GNU of the projects.ez.no portal in terms of mass apeal to end users and extensive simple needs being met to help grow the user base by making the software available in places other than hidden in a GitHub Project Repository not being offered as the valuable add-ons our extensions to eZ Publish really are.
We have the software it's GNU and we can redistribute this software in new and exciting ways to attract more respect in the community as a project stand alone from Ibexa / eZ Systems AS.
Stay Tuned!
