I took my services offline last night, wouldn't have been able to sleep otherwise. There has been core PHP members that have outright said the mitigation's currently doing the rounds won't help and even cloudflare can only mitigate against known attack payloads.

Bit of context. Deleting after import is unlikely to have zero'd out the data on the SD - so using photorec would have allowed them to quickly and easily recover their pictures from the SD card.

From a quick skim of the repo it looks to be injecting phptop_hook.php into any call to a php file with auto_prepend_file in php.ini. phptop_hook.php generates some stats on how long it took the php file to process and stores this via error_log() which can then be queried with the perl script phptop.

The thing with programming, to do it well, you need to fully understand the problem and then you implement the solution expressing it in code. AI will be used to create code based on a deficit of clear understanding and we will end up with a hell of a lot of garbage code. I foresee the industry demand for programmers sky rocketing in the future, as companies scramble to unfuck the mountains of shit code they lash up over the coming years. It's just a new age of copy paste coders.

To me, "Unknown" almost implies the possiblity of a value, whereas I've always thought of NULL as being an absence of a value.

edit: an empty string, false, 0 are all values.

I'm not sure where you've got this idea from. Even "new builds" in the UK, with there questionable building methods (which you may be referring to?) are mostly insulation and incredibly efficient to heat.
