Fair enough. I didn’t settle for fail2ban though because I wanted to weed out possible automated attacks against software with known vulnerabilities. As a bonus it gives me a simple way to look through the logs and see which one of my friends and family are actually using the services I’ve set up.

Was thinking about the same thing before settling on mTLS. Seems like a fantastic defense so far.

Just finished reading Playground by Richard Powers. Apart from the continuation errors and semi-incomprehensible structure where half the time you don’t know which character or time you’re in, I’m starting to wonder if the whole book wasn’t a commentary on AI hallucinations.

Efficient? No.

Reliable? God no.
