You can ban 75% of the web if your concern is outdated tech stacks and/or data breaches

I think they're saying that 4chan is not responding bc there is limited people at the helm, not that the UK gov is upset at their security.

75%? Are you being generous because it's weekend?

  • Agreed--if the concern is data breaches, we can just ban 100% of databases, even those offline.

    If it's outdated tech stacks, I'm sometimes in favor of those. Move fast and break things isn't always the best.

    • That's not an outdated stack - just a stable one.

      An outdated stack is a not-up-to-date version of Wordpress I foolishly set up because it was the last one compatible with a certain plugin used by a client on their website that I was recreating from the Wayback Machine.

      The domain was put on a black list of dangerous sites (rightfully so, considering that the bot that hacked into it replaced the site with spam).
