Every single post it makes will draw attention away from the actual post from OP. The bot gives us nothing of value.

This blog is specifically for websites that are public facing. Sure, you can wireguard into your local network, but you can also SSH into your local network. Either way you have to poke a hole.

Good read.

I would just like to add some additional information that favors changing your SSH port to something other than the default. When crawlers are going around the internet looking for vulnerable SSH servers, they’re more than likely going to have an IP range and specifically look for port 22.

Now can they go through and scan your IP and all of its ports to look for the SSH service? Yes. But you will statistically have less interactions with bad actors this way since they might specifically be looking for port 22.

Guess where they got their inspiration from?

AKA the new internet (the SAFE network) that has been in development for 18 years and is about to hit beta here in the upcoming weeks.

No, I don’t mean web3

Don’t worry, a new internet is coming soon. Then we can leave all this behind.

Its up to your distros package maintainer to make the patched version available. You can find who maintains it and contact them so they are aware.

Security concerns can vary between traditional Linux distributions and rolling release distributions.

Traditional Linux Distributions:

1. Stability: Traditional distributions like Ubuntu LTS tend to prioritize stability over the latest software updates. While this can reduce the risk of new software vulnerabilities, it may also mean that security patches for certain software components are not as up-to-date as in rolling releases.

2. Delayed Updates: Security updates for software packages may take longer to reach users in traditional distributions because they go through a more extensive testing and validation process. This delay could potentially leave systems vulnerable for a longer period.

3. Predictability: Traditional distributions have predictable release cycles, making it easier to plan and apply security updates. However, this predictability can also make it easier for attackers to anticipate when certain software versions will be in use.

Rolling Release Distributions:

1. Up-to-Date Software: Rolling releases like Arch Linux or Manjaro provide the latest software updates as soon as they are available. While this ensures access to new security features and patches quickly, it can also introduce new bugs and vulnerabilities.

2. Frequent Updates: Rolling releases typically require more frequent updates, which can be time-consuming and potentially introduce compatibility issues if not managed properly.

3. User Responsibility: Users of rolling releases have a greater responsibility to stay informed about security updates and apply them promptly. Failure to do so can leave systems vulnerable.

4. Testing: Rolling releases often have a testing phase where updates are evaluated by the community before being rolled out to all users. This helps catch issues, but it can still result in occasional instability.

In summary, the main security concern with traditional Linux distributions is the potential delay in receiving security updates, while rolling releases offer up-to-date software but may require more user vigilance and can occasionally introduce instability due to frequent updates. The choice between them should depend on your specific use case and your willingness to manage updates and stability.

Not yet…

Its a rolling release, so will always have the most up to date and patched packages the fastest. That concept is the antivirus.

Can’t infect your machine if the vulnerabilities are already fixed.

Honestly, the best antivirus for Linux is Arch.

Awesome. Now leave it there and don’t let anyone touch it 😁

I can’t vouch for any since I have no skin in the game. I did a quick room search and found quite a few “piracy” rooms. No idea who or what is going on in each of them though.

Honestly, not sure how well the piracy experience is on Matrix. I’m not a pirate myself, but I imagine it would work fine if it was smaller files. You could make a separate thread per item.

There is probably an upload size limit on the server though. As far as I know, you can’t transfer files peer to peer.

There is the default matrix.org server you can join.

There are others out there as well. https://joinmatrix.org/servers

You can also create your own server if you’d like. Servers are federated, so you’ll be able to communicate with any/all of them (as long as you follow the rules of each one)

You can search for chat rooms in the app. You’ll easily find all the rooms hosted on your server, but you can also join chats on other servers.
