Comment on How to setup my own home server & make it available to anyone?
TCB13@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe most common use case for a RPi is people who just want to hook it into some electronics and play a bit with it, very much like a modern day Arduino. The second most common is some kind of server be it simple SMB share, DLNA wtv. The 3rd case is custom images like retropi, home assistant etc… In the first tow having SSH by default greatly simplifies things.
People who deploy professionally / on scale / create customs images for other things are tech savvy enough and know how to disable SSH - no need to have it disabled by default.

I think you’ve solved your own problem. The people that are savvy enough to do it know how to enable it and it’s not a real impact to them. But by disabling it, the people that don’t are protected. Which is why this is a standard practice across Linux distros.

It could be standard practice across Linux distros but not standard across SBCs…
