    As soon as you have bought the popcorn/ diamonds no one cares who is going to consume them as a movie snack. So you always will be allowed to share your popcorn/ diamonds with your peers without legal repercussions, which is my point.

    You are not wrong with the things you said. But I talked about virtual and real goods and the attached exploitation rules. And you talked about marketing and supply/ demand rules. And I fail to get the connection between those.

    Is it (the lack of) morality and opportunism on the supplier’s side? Help?



  • 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.)

    Da unterscheiden sich deutsche und chinesische Gesellschaften scheint es mir. Die einen nehmen, damit Griechenland Verbindlichkeiten erfüllen kann. Die anderen geben, um zukünftig Einfluss zu erlangen und Gewinne zu erwirtschaften.

    Ich lese das Schlagwort port concession. Wenn Piraeus profitabel war (war er das?), warum brauchte Griechenland Geld von Cosco für Ausbau und Modernisierung ihres Hafens und hat ihnen dafür Nutzungsrechte auf Zeit abgetreten? Oder ist alles ganz anders?
