@nixCraft BASIC-PLUS on RSTS-11.

@nixCraft This just means that the admin change the server config without telling you.

@nixCraft "Carl, the guys in the machine room have had too much free time on their hands this past month. Execute a couple of them."

@nixCraft Someone needs to run the CIS benchmarks on that server. That it's leaking software names and version info in its response headers violates one of the rules. Also, I hope the Perl is running in taint mode.

@nixCraft I read other complaints on Mastodon over the weekend about YouTube vs ad blockers. Sounded more like a "feature" than a bug from the way they described it.

@nixCraft “My work here is done.”

@nixCraft And if one has control of the server, look into installing a port-blocking tool such as fail2ban that kicks in if it spots unwanted activity. I've seen too many bots that ignore the robots.txt file

@nixCraft Or the day before you go on vacation!

@nixCraft My collection of O'Reilly Perl books and I will be quietly weeping in the corner if we're needed.

@nixCraft This seems to represent a chart of understanding each and every Perl regex you ever wrote.
