An episode about LVM (Logical Volume Manager) would be cool.
And how can it be used to snapshot disks or even backup them.

In addition of changing the port you can also make use of port knocking to keep it hidden from port scans.

Microsoft Windows 10 and newer have been shipping with the OpenSSH client pre-installed for some time now... 3-5 years. They also off the OpenSSH server but that is not installed by default and if desired, you can manually install that by Adding Windows Components from the Control Panel.

When I set up my MythTV box, I could not use SSH at all. I assumed that the SSH server was automatically built in to any and all distros.
I still never got GUI SSH Working.

You mentioned your Linode server is in Canada whilst you are in the US - any issues there for businesses with data sovereignty requirements to remain compliant with data protection like GDPR et al?

You may also want to teach about the authorized_keys file as well as the ssh-copy-id command, because many server systems do not allow password logins. Some are key only, and a lot of first time users get tripped up with ssh keys. Also, disabling root logins in sshd config, and changing the listen port might be helpful too.

I installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS Desktop on one of my computers. When I tried to connect with ssh, I get the connection refused. So, the base installation of the ssh server software must not have been installed with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS Desktop, unless something on my local area network is blocking the port 22 needed for ssh to work.

Could a hacker keep trying different usernames and passwords in rapid succession forever to try to break into the ssh connection? Or, is there a limit of failed attempts that would cause them to have to wait a period of time to retry accessing the ssh connection? I think if you simply changed the ssh port, the hacker could try to ssh into every possible port, until they get a response. Then they would know which port you switched ssh to use.

Once you create your key on the local machine, if you want to move that key what is the best way? Keep it in sync with Syncthing across multiple machines?

Is there ANYONE who is Not using a paid service setting up a Linux Mint server who is just showing how to do it in English from the beginning with n00b details explained?
