I have been thinking about self-hosting my personal photos on my linux server. After the recent backdoor was detected I’m more hesitant to do so especially because i’m no security expert and don’t have the time and knowledge to audit my server. All I’ve done so far is disabling password logins and changing the ssh port. I’m wondering if there are more backdoors and if new ones are made I can’t respond in time. Appreciate your thoughts on this for an ordinary user.
Call me names… But sometimes the story has far more branched backstories than they actually shed into light.
Trust nobody, not even yourself.
Paranoid? Maybe. I take it you’re suggesting that another state actor noticed but didn’t want to give it away?
