Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....

It is easy to get hacked if you make stupid mistakes. Just don't make them.

SSH login without user name? ( docs.gitlab.com )

I was reading GitLab's documentation (see link) on how to write to a repository from within the CI pipeline and noticed something: The described Docker executor is able to authenticate e.g. against the Git repository with only a private SSH key, being told absolutely nothing about the user's name it is associated with....

Technically, you always use a username, however in case of Gitlab that SSH username is always git. When an SSH client connects to server, it offers an authentication method. Gitlab accepts that method only if it is a publickey and the fingerprint of the offered key maps to the known Gitlab user.

git config core.sshCommand 'ssh -i <path to desired key>'

This is a correct recommendation, however in Debian-based distros you don't need to edit configuration files manually. Just pick some of preinstalled configs. They are installed in /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail and symlinked to /etc/fonts/conf.d.

It's the same across all POSIX compliant shells. zsh is not POSIX compliant.

Try to avoid using any file manager (uninstall them all if it is difficult to avoid running them). So you will practice in using file manipulation commands.

All wrong. Original developer of nginx was Igor Sysoev, and his employer who sued him was Rambler.

Tried using it. Terrible UX. Lots of small annoying things that make the app usage very uncomfortable.

Before anyone getting on about Security I don’t give 2centa about it
