Started programming when I was 9. Built my first game using assembler on Amiga 500 when I was 13. Later moved to C, C++, Java, PHP, JavaScript.

Founded a couple of open source projects, most remarkable being flamerobin.org, which is now the default administration GUI for the open-source FirebirdSQL DBMS. I got really close with people in that community (had beers with most core developers ;) and even presented some papers/sessions at three Firebird conferences. I also run the official Firebird FAQ website at firebirdfaq.org.

Wrote some shareware software available at guacosoft.com. Most successful product is a home-inventory application called Attic Manager.

From 2009 got interested into web space, but mostly kept alive by making accounting software.

In 2014, tested waters on Android, built a space shooter game Drone Invaders in just 23days: http://bigosaur.com/blog/23days

In 2018, built and released Rogue Bit, a puzzle game about computer internals. You play as a single bit of RAM who became sentient and decide to escape the computer into the real world:

From 2015 to 2021, built "Son of a Witch", a roguelike brawler best explained as a mix of Castle Crashers and The Binding of Isaac. It's available on Steam and Nintendo Switch:

Currently working on a puzzle game called Block Buster Billy, which can be best described as Baba Is You meets Math:

How did you check? Is there are PoC or some kind of command to run?

> China handily beats the USA in the trust rankings in most of the world.

Is anyone storing their gold reserves in China except Cambodia?

With such low payment, it makes one wonder how many exploits exist which were sold to 3rd parties and are currently used in the wild without Google even knowing about it.

Yeah, I have firewall set up to disallow everything except whitelisted ports, so my system was never in jeopardy. Maybe I should have mentioned that in my original post.

That's the problem with the definition of "healthy". No single food is "healthy" on it's own. It's a wrong way to look at it and why most people fail at finding a good diet. There's no super food you can just eat unlimited amounts of.

A diet can be healthy if it's the nutrient combination of different foods that result in certain number of calories, protein, fat, carbs, minerals and vitamins per unit of time.

I presume users lost access to everything.

The question is "can anyone". Makes you wonder why the USA hasn't built one? Maybe the latest technology required some rare discovery. Just like nobody can replicate the taste of Coca Cola, maybe there some tiny detail that they discovered by experimenting.

If they are spies, they are taking their time to use the data for sure. I run servers with them since 2009 or so. That's 17 years.

I feel like the whole password thing was meant as a protection against SPAM or using servers for nefarious purposes as they know who's really behind every server.

Although, I can also see how real criminals would work around that easily by supplying fake identities. Sounds like one of those "why we can't have nice things". Well, at least the password I gave them 17 years ago has expired since.
