“Pro-russia hacktivists” that’s a weird way to say “state sponsored hackers”. Also they are using open VNC and default passwords? Really? The parties responsible for that infrastructure should be ashamed.

That’s not what ‘keyless entry’ means. You still have to open your door, you just don’t need to press a button to unlock it first.

Something to realise when starting with Linux is that everything is a ‘file’. Sockets, processes, input, output etc. That’s very different from Windows and part of why scripting on Linux is so powerful. You can interact with anything.
So some directories are filled with things that aren’t necessarily files but look like it. Someone else posted a whole list, just realise that under those directories/paths shouldn’t be messed with unless you know what it’s for.
Generally when you’re getting used to Linux, /home/$user (aka ~) is where you put personal things. The rest is managed by OS and applications, don’t worry about it.
Edit: spelling

Great attempt on making a tool, I think your usecase might not be as appealing to others. If I need to list the hosts I have config for I would use: grep Host ~/.ssh/config If your list of servers is too long to remember, you might want to look at Ansible for configuration. But whatever works for you :)

What nonsense, of course you can write safe code in other languages. What makes it safe is the people that are experienced in writing it securely and test it. But not all code has a high standard of quality, due to time pressure or due to lack of skill. So yes, the only way to be sure you have safe code without spending more time on training and testing is if the language does it by design. Has this guy ever worked in software engineering?

I would suggest using Caddy. I think it’s a little simpler than Traefik and can automatically handle LetsEncrypt SSL/TLS certificates for you

Sounds like an excellent suggestion.

CockroachDB is a clustered version of PostgreSQL you probably should be able to replace it with that. But running a full RDBMS with the resources you gave is not great. SQLite would be a better fit for the resources available if the tools you run support it.

Yeah the 300meg isn’t going to get much less. Switching to Debian won’t change much there. Perhaps you can look into running a minimalist container distro if you are just using the machine for that. I personally want to check out Talos, there’s also RKE and Burmilla. No experience with them, to me the memory doesn’t matter much because I run a homelab. So I currently just run Debian and k3s. On my systems the containers are actually what gobbles up all the memory. If you’re using public container images, there’s a good chance the memory configuration on them isn’t optimal. Especially JVM services are a lot of the time configured to just use whatever is available. If you give them less memory they will do more garbage collection. So if CPU is less an issue then mem, that could be worth looking into (it’s just parameters you can pass on startup). Hopefully any of this is of use. Good luck :)

In my experience kernel tweaks aren’t going to be a major change on memory usage. Most distros are meant to be full featured and not necessarily lightweight. So unless you are already running a minimalist distro, make sure you don’t have bunch of background services running you don’t need. I can recommend using Debian Minimal iso’s, they require 256MB of mem. Depending on what features you enable you could use a lot more.
