In what way do you think this article supports anything about the claim that “ssh can be broken into fairly easily”. It’s at best an argument for not using passwords with SSH, and at least for using very good passwords.

I claim a small corner of your livingroom as my property.

Please don’t make this tense or provoke me.

Which problem(s) are you trying to solve? The networking issue of firewalls and port forwarding? The admin tasks of installing and configuring applications? The task nobody does of maintaining software and keeping it up-to-date?

What’s a nixos script?

Raspberry Pi is not a server. That people use it as one does not mean it’s fit for purpose.

This fucker would fold like a wish version lawnchair if you hit or tackled him.

You’d bet your life on that? I wouldn’t. Fucker probably has a knife on him. Doesn’t take much to ruin your life pretty quickly.

Dude is crazy enough to throw coffee on a baby. You want to wrestle with him? You know if he’s carrying any weapons?

SSH, especially password only ssh, can be broken into fairly easily.

WTF are you smoking? The tailscale propaganda is really getting crazy these days.

ssh is one of the most secure servers you can run. The tailscale propaganda is crazy in this community.

This community is like 90% tailscale shills.

Just feels like a big rip off!

We told you. Everyone told you. If you didn’t know then that’s on you.

Who taught him the phrase “legal exposure”?

So what?

Space travel is… Hard. Even NASA has had issues (Apollo 13?).

It allows health professionals to report suspected child abuse or people who may commit violent crimes.

Hah! I missed that auto correct, but I’m leaving it.

That’s fair - I’m not saying users shouldn’t be able or allowed to use computers, but just that it’s been proven over and over again that most people simply don’t get computers. They should always have the option to learn what they can though.

It’s almost never HIPAA (not HIPPA) but in this case it does seem relevant.

A quick search though and it looks like there are provisions in HIPAA allowing disclosure to law encourage officials for law enforce purposes.

Computers are not a good choice for “regular users”. Get them a locked-down iPhone and be done with it.

What you are describing is not a situation unique to Linux - or even Windows. “Software is hard and it sometimes breaks”. My Windows 11 laptop that I use for work and to which I have made exactly zero modifications sometimes doesn’t recognize when I’ve connected external speakers. And I can’t disable hyper-v despite following all of the instructions. This is a corporate provisioned and managed system and simple stuff just doesn’t work.

X% of all things have bugs. Your mistake is in thinking that the percentage that you’re seeing are somehow special or related to the particular OS you’re running at the time. The classic “the grass is greener” fallacy. This is pretty evidenced also by the fact that you’re a classic “distro hopper” whose always looking for the perfect system rather than taking the time to understand the problems and deal with them as they come.

I self-host my own damn mail server and I wouldn’t want to support infrastructure for a business I was starting…

If your core business is not “making sure wordpress is running” then outsource it to others to worry about. You’ll have enough on your plate.
