  • explain xkcd is down for maintenance (October 20, 2026) What happened?

    Today, a remote code execution vulnerability was found in PHP, called php2shell. The exploit was quickly independently reproduced and publicized, and the php patch will not drop until tomorrow. Since explain xkcd is affected by this exploit, I have decided to take the wiki down until tomorrow. When will the site be back up?

    explain xkcd will come back up tomorrow, October 21, once I wake up and have a chance to install the new patch.
