  • 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.



  • OK but it’s up to the owner to decide on what tires they want on their car. These same quiet tires can be put onto an ICE car, and the same cheap and loud all seasons you get at the corner tire shop can go on an EV. I live in a winter city and you better believe if I owned an EV it would be wearing studded tires which are obnoxiously loud regardless of the engine.

    Can’t we agree that cars are loud and it would be better to get them out of our cities so we can walk and bike in peace?




  • But not all signals were equally effective. Straight-arm signals, pointing left to turn left or extending the right arm to turn right, were almost universally understood. In contrast, fewer than a quarter of drivers correctly interpreted the bent-arm right-turn signal that is still legally recognized in many places. Even the signal used to indicate stopping or slowing, while defined correctly by most drivers, was not the signal many says they would personally use if cycling.

    The problem is that for some reason it’s taught that cyclists should do all their signalling using the same arm. Like if you want to turn left you point left but if you want to turn right you point up? How does that make any sense. That signal could easily be misinterpreted as a wave or a stop.
