Security Update Applied

[Tefka]

Apologies for the short downtime, we've applied a security patch to the forum software in light of recent events.

Please alert me if there are any issues.

Looks like the patch fixed the font colors bug that's existed since the November wipe, unless I'm crazy.

Can I ask what the site's policy is on applying security patches to the stack we're on?

I don't understand the question, sorry. Can you elaborate?

I was wondering whether you try to keep security patches up to date within a few days, or work reactively for the scary ones is all

Obviously I don't know whether you run from the OS up or just the forum software

Downtime for 'security' . . . ?

You uh... you tryin' ta hack me bruh?

I try to keep this bad boy up to date but obviously there's a lot of missed steps. This server was my first, and I was a giant noob bucket when I first started working on it. I'm sure this much was way more apparent in the olden days of "Cannot find SQL Server" or just general downtime. It's lacking in a lot of areas that I wish it wouldn't, and while I could obviously work on it - that would mean downtime for the site. And we've been in a good spot for some time with this server, so I'd rather just keep her kicking until I finish working on the "new horizon".

So patches, upgrades, everything - applied as needed, or as seen fit in the past. This is a hobby for me - a hobby I've taken well past where a lot of people have stopped, in Admin communities I belong to - so the role of "System Administrator" doesn't get as much love as it should.

If I may ask, what 'recent events' led to the implementation of this security update?

This is amazing.

The more colours thing has never worked in the entire history of the board.

I rejoice at this.
