    I used to send notices to site admins that seem like they had been hijacked because on the requests/packets they were sending to my site. Why else would some public school site or not profit organization site try to brake into my systems unless they have been themselves compromised.

    I stopped doing this because some site admins though I was the one hijacking them so now it is all for myself; don't try to help otherwise you may get in trouble.

    Well, it silly but I guess this is how things work...

    Good one, I have observed a tendency lately where newbies seem to thing that API are delivered by the baby stork. They even teach the youngsters that programming techniques used in API (for the internal work of the API) are bad and have them coming up with resource hog code that is supposed to be somehow better nevertheless.

    Then, there are the APIs built on top of other APIs that achieve sensibly the same goal.

    It's been 15 years since the explosive growth of the Internet started, dammit. Any "programmer" in this day and age who doesn't sanitize inputs for absolutely every parameter from an service facing the internet should be barred from using a compiler permanently.

    It wouldn't help in this case. The language used for joomla doesn't require the programmer to use a compiler.

    Well, I have been seeing really strange Cookie, Host, Connection, request strings, etc. for ever and I sometimes wonder what the target is. Don't take for granted those pokes are only targeted at joomla.

  18. Yeah, planning in advance for quantum computing where everything is relativistic, including up time, I just provisioned 8 identically configured cloud nodes with different variable resiliency providers with every provider guaranteeing a 75% uptime.

  21. Gold mining is a matter of cost. Who knows? If they manage to find earth down there which contain 40 times more gold by cubic meter then, it might be profitable.
