I was VERY surprised when this popped up at mid-steps 14:

This is reasonably active with a small space that looks like a gider but not quite:

Weird p12

Unfortunately, it's quite late in Eastern Canada right now...

Will the forums be affected by this PHP vulnerability (CVE-2026-109618 & CVE-2026-109619)?

I did try compiling to WASM, but unfortunately it is very hard due to the inlined assembly. You are better off using the tech in https://speedydelete.com/apgweb instead. Regarding the other questions, I do not have the answers...

LLSSS did the bulk of the work; only the last 10 or so rows are SCP-LSSS.

SCP-LSSS, yes. That and LLSSS.

Yes.

I'm quite sure that if you gave an AI agent a program that can run rule tables, given enough time, it will work.
