  • You can look up for:

    • Setting up max authentication attemps per connection -> slows up a lot brute force attacks. If your password is strong enough, that’s already a big step to secure your server.
    • Generate SSH Keys and disable password authentication -> do this only if you’re connecting through the same devices, because you won’t be able to connect from any device that has not being set up. Personally I don’t use this because I want to be able to access my server even if I’m not home and without my laptop
    • Set up Crowdsec -> it’s a local service which scans logs and will block access to any suspicious IPs. It also relies on a crowdsourced list of IPs that are identified as threat and will preventively block them




  • I live 2000km from Chernobyl

    Chernobyl is not comparable to a nuclear bomb. Chernobyl is a reactor, made to release a steadily amount of radiations for years to make electricity.

    Chernobyl irradiated a large area because the graphite that was located in the reactor core has burned, and the fumes have been carried by the wind, taking a lot of high-level activity nuclear waste hundred or thousands of kilometers away.

    A bomb is way smaller than a reactor, and is designed to release most of its energy instantly to make the biggest explosion possible. That means a short burst of radioactivity very high level of radioactivity, with a very small half-life.

    A few days after a bomb explodes, most of the radiations would have depleted.
