We turned 24 last week. We nearly announced it that afternoon, then pictured everyone mentally clocked out for the weekend, so we waited like responsible adults. Happy belated birthday to us. 🎂

For context on how long that is: "the website is dead" has been declared to our faces roughly once a year since we started. Still here. Still keeping sites online while everyone argues about what's replacing them.

So, in the time-honored tradition of doing birthdays backwards, we put together a few thank-yous — all themed around the number 24, of course. They run through July 3, and the details are all here: https://www.glimmernet.com/blog/glimmernet-24th-anniversary/

There's also a free 24-point checkup in the mix, for any website — even one that isn't ours. No cost, no obligation: https://www.glimmernet.com/services/free-website-health-check/

We've published our first security advisory. During a routine investigation into monitoring alerts, we discovered an unauthenticated SSRF vulnerability in the 66Uptime ping servers plugin that could expose cloud credentials, internal networks, and more.

The vulnerability has been patched by the developer, but upgrading alone isn't enough. API keys must be configured manually to be protected.

Full details, timeline, and remediation steps: https://www.glimmernet.com/security/gt-2026-001-ssrf-66uptime-ping-servers/

If you're running 66Uptime with remote ping servers, please read this.

Unauthenticated SSRF in the 66Uptime ping servers plugin enables cloud credential theft, internal network scanning, and arbitrary requests from affected servers

Same time tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.

If your slogan needs backup, it's time to audit your marketing.

On , we think about why the internet matters in the first place.

Information should never be gatekept. A parent researching a diagnosis at midnight, a community without access to a doctor, someone in a rural area trying to understand their options — they all deserve the same access to reliable, accurate health information as everyone else.

Science works across borders. So should the information it produces.

That's why we care deeply about keeping websites up, content accessible, and information flowing to the people who need it most.

Together for health. Stand with science.
