To be fair to bottles, they cité that even their hosting costs are usually barely covered, so I imagine it’s running on a pretty lean/Foss dev budget already.

Depends on the drive too, I have some insanely loud Ironwolf drives and you would never guess they’re from the same manufacturer as my practically silent Exos X18s.

I think of it as a lab because it’s my sandbox for me to do crazy server stuff at home that I’d never do on my production network at work, and I think that’s why the name stuck, because back when systems were expensive as heck it was pretty much just us sysadmin guys hauling home old gear to mess with.

Doesn’t take that to leverage an unknown vulnerability in ssh like:

That’s why it’s common best practice to never expose ssh to raw internet if you can help it; but yes it’s not the most risky thing ever either.
