    An indie developer that had never made a game before thinks they can just show up and drop the best game ever made like it’s no big deal?

    And then you actually start playing the game and there’s no annoying partner character constantly holding your hand and feeding you hints with corny quippy voice lines? You mean to say I have to figure out how to play on my own?

    And don’t even get me started on the community. I’ve never seen a group of people more concerned with spoilers to maintain the mystery for new players.

    And it’s a game you can only play once and then that’s it? How does the developer expect to make any money selling microtransactions if their players only get to experience the greatest thing ever published once and then never come back but are compelled to talk about it given any opportunity until the end of time?















  • For remote management, I just enable SSH, configure it to run on some non-standard port and enable Fail2ban… Make sure I use certificates or secure passwords and also check if fail2ban is actually doing its job. Never had any issues with that setup.

    This is what I’ve done for years, but I sometimes feel like it’s not a great solution from a security standpoint.
    Though I have switched from fail2ban to Crowdsec, which did end up banning my own connection attempts when I forgot to whitelist myself, so that seems secure enough.
