  • One aspect is how interesting you are as a target. What would a possible attacker gain by getting access to your services or hosts?

    The danger to get hacked is there but you are not Microsoft, amazon or PayPal. Expect login attempts and port scans from actors who map out the internets. But I doubt someone would spend much effort to break into your hosts if you do not make it easy (like scripted automatic exploits and known passwords login attempts easy) .

    DDOS protection isn’t something a tiny self hosted instance would need (at least in my experience).

    Firewall your hosts, maybe use a reverse proxy and only expose the necessary services. Use secure passwords (different for each service), add fail2ban or the like if you’re paranoid. Maybe look into MFA. Use a DMZ (yes, VLANs could be involved here). Keep your software updated so that exploits don’t work. Have backups if something breaks or gets broken.

    In my experience the biggest danger to my services is my laziness. It takes steady low level effort to keep the instances updated and running. (Yes there are automated update mechanisms - unattended upgrades i.e. -, but also downwards compatibility breaking changes in the software which will require manual interactions by me.)

    If it was this way, the pawn had a good chance to take a few of them down. Problem is they’d have their own pawns to send forward. Also their buddies from a different board might join to tip the scales.

    You’d need a bigger board, more pawns on your side and maybe different rules to actually win.

    Perhaps there is a different way?





  • Ja, das stimmt. Zynisch ist es. Im Prinzip sprechen wir von einer ungewollten Sterilisation. Sie unterscheidet sich von anderen nur dadurch, dass sie nicht diskriminiert.

    Generell kann man jeden Mechanismus, der das Bevölkerungswachstum lenkt, kritisch betrachten. Je nach Art mehr oder weniger. Persönliches Leid löst er immer aus (wenn man sich nicht selbst und freiwillig dafür entscheidet).

    Dem könnte man jetzt das globale Bevölkerungswachstum mit seinen Folgen gegenüber stellen. Zerstörung des Lebensraums anderer Arten auf dem Planeten und Zerstörung des eigenen Lebensraums durch die eigene genetische Programmierung zu immer weiterem Wachstum.

    Es ist immer problematisch.
