Yes there are alot of things on the internet back then. When it was an closed system of trust. But like any system that opens up new people are more then willing to take advantage of trust. Ergo we are in the zero trust era where everyone needs to prove. They are not a malicious actor before they will be listened to.
Do you host anything on your network to tne internet that allows anyone ssh access to your computers? More simply do you have port 22 open on your router or firewall? If you don’t or said no, then don’t worry about it.
I always liked Mikrotik. Not the most open of router but the most documented and configurable I’ve seen with a web, gui, ssh, or telnet I’ve seen
Any particular reason why you have root so small and an dedicated /home partition?
I’ll need the sauce, for science
This is a good idea, just be aware you’re going to pay a premium to power an old pc compared to an embedded system
Yes. I just feed it off the /60 my isp gives. Me and I just use my router to segregate the rest. Gotta love Mikrotik. It’s alot easier without dealing with NAT but the ip space calculations need a bit more though
I use this. They’re very effective.
Theyre called MoCA adapters
