Well and Linus wasn’t lying about it. He is the person who ironically knows least about the whole Linux ecosystem which we have today…

At this point I think he’s not even aware of Valve Steam Machine. Not following the news on distros. Not following any discussions. Not into gaming. Not into memes. Not into anything, other than compiling the kernel.

Now you’re taking bs. It was a real interview

I was really surprised surprised that Linus Torvalds didn’t knew about arch btw as well as Linux ISO meme.

I mean, come on. Linus is really only checking his emails.

I was very surprised that Linus (T) didn’t knew about arch btw. And even didn’t know about Linux ISO joke… Come on… Linus is really only looking at emails.

Well… Not really. I watch it to the end. It still feels a bit off.

2000% true. We will slowly move to a surveillance state. And we end up in the same list like North-Korea, China, etc…

I know who… all kinds of people in different government organizations like in the Netherlands these people: https://organisaties.overheid.nl/46813/mr_drs_HP_Schreinemachers/

He is head of Justice and Security Ministry.

Do you like the setting to be opt-out so “all” will be the default (like now). Or should we make this combined frontpage an opt-in feature (default will stay “threads” like before)?

Some may call it shady. I call it Linux ISOs. Damn capitalism.

No it’s called censorship.

I did heard something about non-working airports etc. I think it’s better for people to get rid of this malicious software.

What is Windows?

Caddy is also fine.

I wrote a blog about server hardining and you might find it useful: https://blog.melroy.org/2023/server-hardening/

Yes, I run many services and website on the public web from my homelab. Harden your server first. Like disabling root ssh login.

Also enable auto updates on your server. Use your router/server to block some counties using geoip (especially if those services are meant for only a couple of people within your county maybe?). You could also use block lists, there any many bad ip lists out there.

Configure rate limits in Nginx.

You also mentioned fail2ban. You can define many rules and actions. Like blocking ips that might go over your previously defined rate limits. Or 4xx action for ips that request a lot of non existing pages (404 errors) .

Also captcha won’t cut it anymore today. Try https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

Of course expose only what you want to expose, so only open ports in your firewall you really want to open. Ideally put everything behind a reverse proxy like Nginx.

Let’s start with all of the things mentioned above. Ping me later if want to know more or have questions.
