TL; DR: upgrade to node Js version
v0.10.41 (Maintenance), v0.12.9 (LTS), v4.2.3 "Argon" (LTS) or v5.1.1 (Stable), depending on which major.minor version you're running.

Nodejs updates have recently been released to address a DOS vulnerability in 0.12.x to 5.x, as well as an OpenSSL vulnerability in all versions: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/december-2015-security-releases/

Hi @timps -- we store daily backups for two days, and full image backups (taken weekly) for a month. If you need a rollback, you'll need to open up a support ticket ,yes.

We handle version upgrades upon request. Usually downtime is minimal (if any), although larger forums we'll want to take a bit more time just in case.

In WIP we’re reaching developers around the world to invite them to a webinar called Developer Smackdown!. It’s a contest where developers battle each other answering questions, showing code and debating about the things you know and love. The format is a half hour Google Hangout, agilely moderated by us with a very cool prize for the winner; the one who rises to the top of the 3 or 4 brave contestants.

NodeJS chapter will be next Wednesday April 29th at 18h UTC+1 and the topic will be: NodeJS That’s why I’m addressing you.
we’re looking for contestants, still need one more!

If you want to find out more: http://goo.gl/BOJ2VR or just mail me if you have any question. So, do you want to share with us some knowledge and have some fun?

Best(wishes);

You know (one of) the main difference(s) between TCP and UDP, don't you?

TCP is connection-oriented, UDP isn't. So there is no UDP core-functionality to check whether the receiver is alive (/has the port opened).

You'd either need to create server-side code or know the server-behavior (e.g. responses to specific datagrams) to achieve an UDP port-scanner.

If you're able to write server-side code the best is to ask for UDP port status via TCP since it has reliable data-transfer implemented.

You may have to wait for @baris to come in, if you're still missing your category icons, as he was the one who updated try.nodebb.org yesterday, as I was unavailable.
