I just started self hosting. I have been really enjoying it so far but I’m nervous that the excitement will wear off soon unless something stressful or even catastrophic happens. Any advice?

    Thanks for your interest in joining the botnet!

    I’d recommend using “password” as your password and “root” for the username. Attackers have a lot of stuff going on! Don’t make their job all complicated, make it easy to remember.

    Older operating systems like a really old Linux distro or Windows XP are the best, since their performance requirements are a lot lower, giving better overhead for the crypto miners that will be installed. Modern OSs waste resources on security features and such.
