Probably a silly question: Is serving HTML required? git exists after all

These companies are “too big to fail.” Just like last time, when the bottom drops out on these bad investments the debt will be socialized.

Here’s mine : )

root is a user account that has all privileges and is what bots are programmed to probe, so exposing it introduces unnecessary risk. IMO there’s no reason to permit root login via ssh in any circumstance, ever, in all cases, absolutely.

For all the people thinking, “well the world doesn’t work in absolutes, there’s always a special case!” There isn’t.

If a user needs to use elevated permissions, there are many ways to do that without exposing root. sudo(8) is one way to do that.

IMO ssh is the tool you’re describing. My ssh server is exposed to the WAN and is configured like this:

• set to a random port to reduce spam (completely eliminated it for me)
• set PasswordAuthentication no
• set PermitRootLogin no

I bought into .net almost 10 years ago and never left. I think legacy tlds (com, net, org) tend to be more affordable and I can be motivated by money.

• Uptime
• Days since last system update
• Days since last CVE scan

• Embrace
• Extend
• Extinguish

Nope.
