My #smolweb #selfHosting question of the day:

I've got a firewall blocking IP ranges of the HTTPS harassment traffic I've been seeing. It's always ranges from Brazil, and the ancient Pi server never gets much over 7% CPU usage and 25% memory usage. I've got the firewall, changed the SSH port (not that that was being targeted, everything was 443), removed root, enforced password every time for sudo.

So aside from the annoyance of knowing the flickering light is them bouncing off the firewall, what more should I do? What are the risks? Is this just the price for running a tiny web server in 2025?
