  You can look up for:

  • Setting up max authentication attemps per connection -> slows up a lot brute force attack, if your password is strong enough, that’s already a big step to secure your server.
  • Generate SSH Keys and disable password authentication -> do this only if you’re connecting through the same devices, because you won’t be able to connect from any device that has not being set up.
  • Set up Crowdsec -> it’s a service which scans logs and will block access to any suspicious IPs. It also relies on a crowdsourced list of I.P.s that are identified as threat and will preventively block them

  I live 2000km from Chernobyl

  Chernobyl is not comparable to a nuclear bomb. Chernobyl is a reactor, made to release a steadily amount of radiations for years to make electricity.

  Chernobyl irradiated a large area because the graphite that was located in the reactor core has burned, and the fumes have been carried by the wind, taking a lot of high-level activity nuclear waste hundred or thousands of kilometers away.

  A bomb is way smaller than a reactor, and is designed to release most of its energy instantly to make the biggest explosion possible. That means a short burst of radioactivity very high level of radioactivity, with a very small half-life.

  A few days after a bomb explodes, most of the radiations would have depleted.

  Brb, I must warn my ancestors of 1789 that they should have overthrown the monarchy by discussing politely rather than by cutting off the king’s head and fighting his henchmen

  That’s not brain drain. Brain drain is when high qualified people leave their country, mostly because of the lack of infrastructures costing them opportunities for studying or working in their respective field.

  What you’re talking about is capital flight. This is an issue that is systematically raised as a counter-argument by liberals in debates on taxation. The problem is that it is seriously overestimated:

  • Leaving a country is a lot more complicated than it sounds: you lose your family, your friends, your culture, your habits. Many millionaires who leave their country end up coming back after a few years.
  • You can’t relocate your real estate investments.
  • Going abroad doesn’t exempt you from paying taxes (especially exit taxes).
  • A country that wishes to do so can prohibit the relocation of a profitable company, or even nationalize it.
  • Many rich people who threaten to leave if taxes are raised end up doing the math: if there’s a profitable business, they’ll stay. And in a country that finances its infrastructure soundly and has a good distribution of wealth, there’s profitable business to be had.

  While true, how is that any different to the arguments that were used for TV?

  Television is bad because it is a passive activity, but it is less harmful than the continuous ingestion of micro-videos. But I don’t see what it has to do here.

  Additionally, Lemmy is a social network in the same way that Reddit is. Is this not also dangerous?

  What’s the connection? I didn’t mention Reddit.

  As has been the recommendation for practically everything for the four decades I’ve been on this earth, moderation is key. Instead of hating new media, either regulate it (if the evidence is truly that great) or treat it with healthy moderation.

  This would be to ignore the particularly addictive nature of this kind of content. It would be like comparing apples to Snickers: both are sweet, yes, but one is much more problematic.

  Let’s be blunt here. Most of the people in this thread aren’t worried about health

  That could be a point, but I’m pretty sure that if you ask anybody, the main reason given would be that it makes you stupid. But I can agree that this opinion would not necessarily be based on anything other than the eternal contempt for novelty as video games or manga were, for example, before they became popular.

  ITT: People in their mid-twenties or later, who feel superior to those that like one form of media over their preferred media.

  You’re just waving away an important fact, which is that shorts and their equivalents are notoriously known for killing attention spans and disrupting the management of dopamine in the brain, causing depression in particular.

  We are no longer simply in the traditional custom of the elderly who despise the activities of the younger generations, we are talking about health.
