Do you want to prevent brute forcing or do you want to prevent the attack getting in?

If you want to prevent brute forcing then software like fail2ban helps a little, but this is only a IP based block, so with IPv6 this is not really helpfull against a real attack, since rotating IP addresses is trivial. But still can slow down the attacker. Also limiting the amount of sessions and auth tries does significantly slow down the attacker.

If you just want to not worry about it set strong passwords, and when it is a multi user system where other ppl might access it, configure Public Key Auth so you can be sure the other users have strong passwords (or keys in this case) to authenticate.

With strong passwords or keys it is basically impossible to brute force your way in with ssh.

You do not even need a port based firewall when the server is open on the internet.

When you configure the software to not have unnecessary open ports over the internet connected interface then a port based firewall is providing zero additional security.

A port based firewall has the benefit that you can lock everything down to the few ports you actually need, and do not have to worry about misconfigured software.

For example, something like docker circumvents ufw anyway. And i know ppl that had open ports even tho they had ufw running.

I can see where they are comming from, but i do not understand it. Remote streaming was free and is now only available via a subscription or the lifetime pass. So it is locked behind a subscription. Ofc it is more nuanced, but the title expresses really cleanly what the topic is.

Clickbait (also known as link bait or linkbait) is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow (“click”) that link and view, read, stream or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading.

Title is not really deceptive or misleading.

That is not really covering the topic for everyone, this only covers the article for ppl who are paying already for the pass.

Not seeing how this is clickbait. The title sums it up on point.

At the same time crowdsec heavily benefits of the big free userbase since they ‘crowdsource’ their thread detection.

They’re releasing a new version every two month or so and dropping them rapidly from support, pinning it with a tag means that in 12 months the install would be exploitable.

The lifecycle can be found with a single online search. Here https://github.com/nextcloud/server/wiki/Maintenance-and-Release-Schedule

Releases are maintained for roughly a year.

Set yourself a notification if you forget it otherwise.

The docker image automatically updated the install to nextcloud 30, but the forms app requires nextcloud 29 or lower.

Lol. Do not blame others for your incompetence. If you have automatically updates enabled then that is your fault when it breaks things. Just pin the major version with a tag like nextcloud:29 or something. Upgrading major versions automatically in production is a terrible decision.
