Got get an IRC you two.

I only use the terminal. GUI is bloat.

Yes, but how often does that happen to the average person?

ufw makes it way nicer to use tho. I only use iptables as I have a configuration script I wrote way back in the day.

You can, but you should configure your server in a way that this shouldn’t be a security feature of your setup (e.g. key-auth as OP did). It does help to cut back on uninvited guests a lot tho.

You can set up firewall rules that limit connections to certain ports. For example, you can disallow connections to everything but port 22 (which ssh runs on) to only allow access to the ssh server from outside. Same with VPN.

Read up on ufw (or iptables if you want to do it lower level and have a drink on hand).

There is a one-time signup fee. Last time I heard about it it was 20$ or something. I don’t think you have to pay per listing.

Or the Google Play Store, which has a low one-time fee iirc.

I just tried to check the pricing of domains at cloudflare and they just don’t have a list. You need to transfer a domain to see the price. So I will probably stay with inwx for the time being.

Honestly, I cannot blame him for that. This requires deep knowledge of the subject and the fix is not easy to spot.

I have been using Linux for a decade now on desktop and server systems and he’ll, even I would probably have told the package manager to go do it’s shit and borked my system. Because getting weird errors, warnings and conflicts is just “the Linux experience” ™

I hope more flatpack based distris come up or stuff like nix gains some following. This would make it a lot easier for people with less knowledge to get into the Linux space without much technical knowledge or the possibility to Bork the system (to a degree). Meanwhile classic distros can serve the more technically inclined audience.

But why? Wasn’t it an error in the deb package of steam that did that?
