Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
Including Unix and BSD.
Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
Comments written in other languages are allowed.
The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

I ran a standard raspian ssh server on my home network for several years, default user was removed and my own user was in it's place, root was configured as standard on a raspbian, my account had a complex but fairly short password, no specific keys set.
I saw constant attacks but to my knowledge, it was never breached.
I removed it when I realized that my ISP might take a dim view of running a server on their home client net that they didn't know about, especially since it showed up on Shodan...
Don't do what I did, secure your systems properly!
But it was kinda cool to be able to SSH from Thailand back home to Sweden and browse my NAS, it was super slow, but damn cool...
Why would a Swedish ISP care? I've run servers from home since I first connected up in ... 1996. I've had a lot of different ISPs during that time, although nowadays I always choose Bahnhof because of them fighting the good fights.
They probably don't, unless I got compromised and bad traffic came from their network, but I was paranoid, and wanted to avoid the possibility.
That feels like sorcery, doesn't it? You can still do this WAY safer by using Wireguard or something a little easier like Tailscale. I use Tailscale myself to VPN to my NAS.
I get a kick out of showing people my NextCloud Memories albums or Jellyfin videos from my phone and saying "This is talking to the box in my house right now! Isn't that cool!?" Hahaha.
I'm almost glad I had to go that route. Most of our ISPs here in the U.S will block outgoing ports by default, so they can ~~keep the network safe~~ sell you a home business plan lol.
