Well, that was “fun”

It seems that some spammer decided to take an epic run at some of my sites. They tried to create a LOT of accounts, all with Yahoo email addresses. Yahoo was not best impressed with my scripts spamming their servers. I’ve hardened the sites against future attacks, added recaptures on a few and a bunch of other mitigations.

I also took an old wiki offline.

In the middle of all that, it turned out that a WordPress install I mostly ignored was broken because of some bad code that I wrote. Figuring that out took a while.

A stressful few hours that have probably left my projects better off.
