Am I the only one that see always tries to check what original ranter has open on its computer? 🤔

@fullsnack-dev I haven't! I am aware of them but haven't looked for them with this specs in mind. I will have a closer look.

@Ace71425 tbh I don't free webhosts for a long time ago as they don't meet my minimum requirements I need, neither for my personal needs nor for the company I work for. I can't consider it reliable and performant at all (at an enterprise level). But hey, thanks for the suggestion! :)

@Drillan767 fortunately it wasn't me, but a former employee of my company.

A similar strategy is used in marketing so you could repost articles in social media without them being considered "as old" when shared.

Or it is that, or they are just dumb lazy guys that don't guarantee publishing consistency and prefer to hide that from their users.

@gitpush thanks for your feedback. I've used both. And I was looking to find out what people are using in their local development servers.

Just reviewed it on store. Great work man!

I have reached an highscore of 270.

Some suggestions:
- Add a global highscore. Perhaps ask the username of the player in the end of the game (save it so it won't need to be filled again)
- Increase speed/difficulty as time passes
- Don't be afraid to implement ads but implement them wisely. For example, give the player an extra life in exchange of seeing a video ad (this could go so well). Implement some gamification strategies and your game could benefit so much of that.
- Change your description (as mentioned) to something more to do with a call to action. By simply removing "Free game to" and just invoking the user to "Test your skills [...]" could help. Watch out the biggest gaming titles for mobile and copy what they have greatly implemented.

Hope it helps man! Good luck!

@py2js and @Pavr were you been able to check my answers meanwhile?

@AlexDeLarge thanks! Wow, I wasn't aware that Elixir was able to do that.

I am not really sure if I am going to Elixir on this one because this is meant to be used in my company and I'm more driven in implementing a tool than a full stack on the project. :) I will take it, however, to add to my learning stack!

@AlexDeLarge thanks man. I posted this as I have mainly tried out all these languages/frameworks in separate projects, but I've seen that all of them solve particular issues, and mixing them could result in an excellent combo.

Looks like I am gonna give it a second try! 😎

@AlexDeLarge oh man. Tbh that is what I wanted to try.

However, after posting my last rant, from the reactions, I thought smth was really bad with the stack 😂 take a look at it.

Thanks for your feedback! Perhaps I may consider it again!

From a guy that coordinates the technical part of the interviews in my company: I don't know if it is specific from us, but we are not only looking for experienced guys. Far from that actually.

We rather prefer to invest time teaching someone new than hiring experienced people. What we usually look is the candidate will to learn and being passionate for what he does - you can see this for the past work he done on his own.

In my opinion, if you want to impress someone, check job specs, see if you have a match with the language/framework used, and try to develop something within those specs. Even if you don't land the job, it will be one more project in your portfolio that you can showcase later.

@Linux it appears when I try to choose any location in Storage Instance (when deploying a new server).

@Linux all temporarily sold out. They said they should have some new ones in 1-2 weeks. :(

@Noob thanks! Currently, I am backing up my snapshots locally, waiting for Vultr to have some Block Storage servers again. Have you tried them @Linux? Are them any good?

By the way, I would like to ask you all, including @Condor, if do you mind me using some of the information you provided here in a series of articles, detailing some of the steps for the tools and practices above mentioned?

@linuxxx wouldn't a bot help in those cases? A simple matching pattern could save you a thousand hours of effort, by just pasting the article content into the chat.

The REAL support would only come in if the person would then ask anything else or wanted to chat with a real person.

@Pavr have you ever used it? Why should I go with it instead of any other alternatives?

@Noob sure thing! What would be to you the most reliable sources or how can I identify them? Let me give you an example. Yesterday I've started installing rkhunter, however the unique working package I was able to find - as the epel repo was not working - was in their sourceforge. I suppose that source is trustable?

However, I've identified some allowed files that were not in that package default configuration (and according to some already described issues, they should be). I am not really certain if I have downloaded the right package, but I was not able to find a better one.

Regarding backups, I will take a look at rsnapshot. Do you have any other suggestion? Where do you save your backups? Just transfer them to your computer?

Thanks!

@arpit1997 thanks for your feedback! My goal is to trigger a PHP script that is being run inside a Docker image on an Amazon ECS-Optimized AMI.

What kind of suggestions do you have?

@Condor thanks!

I will give a try to grsecurity. I miss Arch Linux a lot, but would not get adventurous on a production server for now.

Thanks for your opinion on Webmin and Virtualmin. Tbh I've already had a lot of servers without them and had my company' server using it.

But I do prefer to have full control of the server, so I would not use them.

Thanks. I have some great bases here to get started!

@Noob thanks! I will explore SELinux as I will probably go with CentOS.

Out of curiosity, do you suggest any alternative approaches to these?

@Noob thanks a lot for your valuable input!

However, aren't rkhunter and SELinux used for "different" purposes?

Good catch on backing up keys :) Any ideas on where to backup them?

12. I've messed with iptables natively some years ago, but tbh I don't recall the syntax and always need to check it. I guess I gave a try to ufw once in times too. Wouldn't CSF be better for this role?
13. I will try it.
14. Will investigate on these! As I've seen AppArmor is not compatible with CentOS 7 and SELinux is already installed. I hope I won't mess with a bad setup on SELinux.
15. Seems awesome.
16. Will wait for further feedback on what the best solution would be for this. I wasn't aware of such a system that is able to notify me of an intrusion.
17. I will see if mod_security2 suggested helps on this!

Will check on logwatch! Thanks for your contribution! Regarding the following subjects, do you have anything to add? :)

- GrSecurity? Supposedly it hardens Linux kernel. Haven't been able to find an unbiased opinion on it.
- Virtualmin - Worth? Any alternatives? Or stick to manual editing?

@Condor thanks for the compliment! :)

1. I've used both in production, so I have no big trouble using any. Wasn't aware of CentOS rollback feature, seems good!
2. I see. What would you do if your system suddenly does break? Restore a system snapshot? (check my comment asking for opinions on this)
3/4. Got it!
5. Got it! Just seen the video. Will read some more on it and try to implement it.
6. Thanks!
7. What I used to do at every server I owned :) do you recommend setting up a VPN on such a small VPS like this? Wouldn't it be too much resources on a small-budget machine?
8. Got it. Rembered me of Arch, as it is a totally clean distribution ahah. Good times setting it up.
9. Thanks man! I will wait for @linuxxx feedback on that! Yeah, I remember someone saying fail2ban was not good at all.
10. In my AWS instance we do work with OpenVPN and it is great. I would prefer it instead of obscuring my services :)
11. Will wait on more feedback too!

@Linux ahh, I see. Thanks man! Useful stuff!

Will check out those tools! Thanks a lot for your help!

@leonelmenaia I have seen it happen somewhere!

@beningreenjam I don't see you passing the function name to the API endpoint so it could be invoked by JSONP. Read more here: http://lucybain.com/blog/2015/...

@leonelmenaia watch out this logic statement masterpiece.

Thanks for your valuable feedback @Linux!

5. You mean, the server?
10. What do you mean with thinfoiling?
11. I will probably stick with CSF if I don't find any better reason to use another.
14. Any reason why I should use SELinux/AppArmor too? Afaik, rkhunter only notifies you of a possibly compromised server.
16, 18, 24. Got it!

Meanwhile, I have remembered some missing points in my list that I would like to improve:
- System snapshots - is there any recommended tool/approach to do it?
- Website home directory backups - if I would use separate users, I should be able to backup each file system in its own. Any recommendation?
- Database backups - automatically create periodic backups. What is the best practice on how to do it and where to save it?
- Repo management (Stash or Gitlab) and CI/CD solution - worth it? A deployment system would be useful to deploy code stored in a repo.

Pinging @Condor, @Noob and @linuxxx to get more interesting feedback and tips going on. Thanks man!

@Linux thanks man! I got it 😁 I am planning my server bootstrap, regarding some tools and tips I will be using on its setup (more details in my last rant if you wanna check)

@FrodoSwaggins I am with @leonelmenaia on this one. Perhaps I've been mostly lucky, but I am very selective on the recruitment contacts I do accept, and my overall experience on it has been great so far. In the end, a big part of my work experience and companies I've passed on, were based on LinkedIn.
