I wonder what the rotational speed limit (if any is) really hoping to see some mayhem but there don't seem to be enough clicks at the moment.

there's an interesting function `executePHP` tied to the onclick of the button:

let go = () => { executePHP(); console.log("doing it"); setTimeout(go(), 1000)}

They seem to do some rate limiting, if you are sending requests too quickly, the request to write_db2.php usually returning nothing starts returning Christmas greetings.

Lol did the same, but it quickly returns "Wir wünschen frohe Weihnachten" if you go too fast...

I guess many people are trying to automatize... here the last outputs:

    Fehler:  Fehler:
    Fehler:  
    in the last 10 seconds: 199 
    in the last 10 seconds: 207 
    in the last 10 seconds: 144 
    in the last 10 seconds: 113  Wir wünschen frohe Weihnachten.
    in the last 10 seconds: 27

Don't be on the naughty list, add a `sleep 2`

Don't call the go() function in setTimeout(), just pass go as reference.

Because otherwise you'll bomb the recursion stack.

And don't collect $200
