- not sure I understand? the machine wouldn't mind you displaying it on the wall
I read a really interesting book, Jung in the 21st century. Off the top of my head I remember a part about a consciousness field that runs throughout the universe. I also listened to a podcast just the other day in which two physicists discussed an idea that the higgs boson may be part of a field that could be related to consciousness and that neurons and electrons behave in a conscious manner. Anyway, recommend the Jung in 21st Century book.
The B.O.O.B.S stack was my fave. The Author links to a Twitter thot and the GitHub links to the Bun (javascript) repo! Clever. Yes, I am 12 - have been for thirty years.
Anyone who has run an SSH server on the default port knows that you’ll get hundreds or thousands of login attempts per day. Changing the port to something less obvious and running fail2ban is enough to mitigate most of it. They’re just looking for low hanging fruit.
Changing the default port - yeah, works wonders for reducing noise. But I don't understand why people run fail2ban. Nobody is going to be brute forcing a ssh login, all it does is add another moving part very close to a security boundary for very little gain.
Have you recently run a server? It takes a week-month before your ssh port is published on shodan/binaryedge/censys/criminalIP and other dodgy scanners.. and then you can expect constant attention, and yes.. 14691 attempted logins for every username possible (even though password login is turned off) from the same IP (usually a VPN, tor exit, or "crowdsourced VPN")
BT (British telecom) tried that, first they split the network infrastructure biz into openreach, then they opened up the work for more contractors winning bids.
