Overrun by spammers. Forced to reboot.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 21, 2006 12:03 AM | TrackBackYes, I saw that. We're getting so much trackback spam that even though we have trackbacks disabled, it's still causing Apache to lock up.
I've firewalled off the worst offenders, and we're okay for now.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 21, 2006 12:41 AMFour million trackbacks to this server in the past ten days.
If anyone was wondering why trackbacks are still disabled... that's why.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 21, 2006 12:52 AMAlso, that's four million trackbacks that made it through the firewall.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 21, 2006 12:53 AM40 trackbacks per second. After I firewalled off the main sources.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 21, 2006 12:59 AMI'm getting an "Error 500. Bugger." when I try to upload a photo and make a thumbnail of it. Any ideas what that might be?
Posted by Gir at November 21, 2006 02:50 AMYes - thumbnails are broken. 
You can upload pictures just fine, but the automatic thumbnail thingy just does not want to work.
