That site called for help again. One of the accounts was compromised and the attacker activated a theme and some plugins that were injecting a JS in all pages. The JS was showing a fake captcha asking for validation by using the terminal and pasting something. It was a pain to find and remove all the trash, but I believe (hope) I did clean it completely 🤞

to show up.
Yesterday I had to fix a Wordpress which suddenly stopped responding only to the login requests, while everything else was working fine. Turned out that a mail plugin was making PHP hang on a SMTP call because the configured mail server wasn’t responding 🫠
Stefano MarinelliSometimes I need to find something.
Sometimes I fire up a search engine and search.
8 times out of 10 I end up on @joel 's blog.

gdsTried installing my first non-linux unix the other day. Here are some impressive things about #openbsd :
- Partitions. ~By default, files aren't allowed to be both writable and executable. So `chmod 777` only works in /usr/local~ EDIT: apparently I misunderstood this one.
- The man pages are way more complete than many linux distros. `man afterboot` and `man 8 intro` are great.
- Nice unified service management without the complexity of systemd
- There's a CLI that'll just make RAID volumes for you.
- Nothing more complex than it needs to be. No openssl, only libressl. No sudo, only doas.
- The kernel drivers for recording audio and video by default only record silence and blackness. You need to make a sysctl.conf change if you want to un-blind your laptop. This is both privacy-conscious and hella goth.
After a week of tests and some tuning on restic, I could get it to work well enough. Changing
-o sftp.connections=50 did the trick. Hetzner storage box is supposed to allow 10 concurrent connections, but setting it to a bigger number works better… 🤷♂️
