    Wow is that an old version of NGINX. Bad sys admin! If you are going to change your server string, have some fun. Set it to “server 1.0. Today’s special is caramel horse apple”

    The poor thing is probably mining bit coins and deploying ransomware!

    As someone who self hosts and manages a bunch of company websites, I can relate

    This is almost always caused by a either a bad reverse proxy config or the service behind the reverse proxy being down.

    Hi everyone, the image shows the server software version. This is a default behaviour in NGINX which is considered an insecure configuration. It helps attackers match up attacks to your specific version of NGINX easily.

    If you run NGINX, make sure to set server_tokens off; !!

    YOU broke Lemmy. Insert really poor quality image of a lamentably bad site logo to help drive home the issue that “this is funny you have to laugh” because obviously we’re not specifically blaming you the user for doing nothing out of the ordinary even though we totally are and that’s “the joke” funny ha ha you need to laugh but you don’t need a helpful error message because we’re cool and edgy like that.
