Back online!! …kinda

Tags: Everything — Author: @ 2:43 am

Hi all! Sorry for all the downtime. This blog has had four years worth of security holes in it, I finally took an entire weekend to patch them all up.

But we’re back online now, well sorta. I’m missing the past few months of data, I’ll have that back online soon enough.

Thanks for hanging in there while I cleaned house!

    What was the Wicked Sceptre video about? Was that what you were doing when you should have maintained your server?

    At the risk of sounding preachy, two rules to keep your production server script kiddie-proof:

    1. Only install what you need (That’s right, no SuperTUX on your web server)
    2. Keep that minimal selection of packets up to date

    Anyway, welcome back.

    Thanks guys! It’s good to be back. I’ve had this blog online like four years, and never once wiped everything clean and did a fresh install – so all sorts of rouge files have been floating around. Plus I hadn’t been updating WordPress as often as I should – and finally some assholes and bots took advantage. Fortunately I backup my stuff regularly.

    Excellent! It was quite disappointing to notice that you are offline when this campaign finance scandal has been going on. I guess you would see it as no corruption (potential or actual) at all but as “free speech” – you libertarians are such a strange bunch… Anyway, hopefully it weren’t aggravated native welfare statists that were behind this dastardly attack!
