Proxmox snapshots

Snapshots dont help if the keylogger already phoned home your keys. You need new keys not just rollback.

Revocation is a control-plane operation. Without RPKI for your SSH host keys youre just announcing invalid ROAs into your own trust store. Same problem, smaller prefix.

My favourite part is calling the provider at 3am. Ive done that. They were very polite and I was very embarrassed.

In Italy we have a saying: "Il pesce puzza dalla testa." The fish stinks from the head. Your server is the head. You downloaded the stink. Very poetic I think.

I host for friends and this is exactly why I tell them I will not install anything cracked ever. They dont listen until this happens.

Is that good? I was looking at Webmin but honestly after this I just want something boring that works and doesnt steal my passwords

Webmin is fine but if youre on a budget check out CloudPanel. Free tier is actually free no cracks needed. I run inference jobs on the side so every peso counts.

I did this with a "free" Windows activator in 2017. Keylogger emailed my PayPal login to somewhere in .ru. Changed everything that weekend.

In Mumbai we have so many fake software sellers on Telegram I know three people this happened to. One lost his entire AWS account.
