In case you aren’t familiar, this place is basically “#Shit4chanSays”. Similar to /c/insanepeoplefacebook or /r/scotiahpeopletwitter

I don’t think posting something moronic implies agreement

Yeah but they’re only taking the bad parts

On March 16th, 2013, America passed the American Inventors Act, which transitioned the United States to a First-to-File system.

Also, patents shouldn’t be filable once prior art exists.

Aka Nintendo patenting game mechanics 30 years after the fact to try and sue Palworld.

Also game mechanics and UI features being tied to existing functionality (Amazon’s “one click”, Apple’s “swipe to unlock”) should not be considered novel.

I had a double NAT setup like that. Run a firewall like OPNSense as a Proxmox VM, and give it a WAN interface on the ISP router’s IP range; then run everything else on a different subnet, using OPNSense as the gateway. On the ISP router, put OPNSense’s WAN IP in the DMZ. Then, do all your hardening using OPNSense’s firewall rules. Bonus points for setting up a VLAN on a physical switch to isolate the connection.

The ISP router will send everything to OPNSense’s WAN IP, and it will basically bypass the whole double NAT situation.

If electronics fall out of favor, it will be harder to profile and track us

That is absolutely not the reason ANYONE recommends it, unless you are a complete noob and entirely unfamiliar with computer security at all, and are just pulling assumptions out of your ass. Don’t fucking do that, don’t post with confidence when you’re just making shit up because you think you know better. Because you don’t.

If there is a vulnerability in SSH (and it’s happened before), attackers could use that to get into root directly, quickly, and easily. It’s an instant own.

If root login is disabled, it’s way less likely that whatever bug it is ALSO allows them to bypass root login being disabled. Now they have to yeah, find a user account, compromise that, try to key log or session hijack or whatever they set up, be successful, and elevate to root. That’s WAY more work, way more time to detect, to install patches.

If the effort is higher, then this kind of attack isn’t going to be used to own small fry servers; it’s only be worth it for bigger targets, even if they’re more well protected.

If you leave root enabled, you’re already burnt. You’re already a bot in the DDoS network.

And why? You couldn’t be bothered to type one extra command in your terminal? One extra word at the start of each command?

Sorry bitch, eat your fucking vegetables

This is terrible advice.

“Just turn off your firewall bro, please bro, everyone just paranoid please bro enable remote root login bro 😢”

Then you can’t gain root privileges on your server. Are you really arguing for less security because it’s inconvenient?

This is end-user behavior and it’s honestly embarrassing. You should realize your security posture is much more important than “I left my phone on the other room”

The reason they often punch down on trans people is to run cover for their own mental illness. If they can convince chuds that someone’s outward appearance is a major symptom of something wrong, they’ll never look deeper. They’ll never see Trump’s narcissism, they’ll never see Elon or Bezos or Zuck’s soulless sociopathy, because they see them wearing suits and being in charge.

The fucking muppets always take the easy bait
