He basically just nmap scanned the server and googled the apache version. The "critical" vulnerability he linked requires controlling a backend server being reverse proxied through apache... so completely irrelevant. I didn't read every CVE for the apache version but I am doubtful there is anything that actually allows taking over the server there.

I'm not sure how it works in germany, but in the U.S. it basically means "if you screw up again you're going to have to serve this sentence so be on your best behavior".

Look at what is _actually_ in the bill the republicans are pushing through congress. Where is "no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no income tax on earners under 150k". It's not there.
