Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

The actual span is a random period between 2 and 4 weeks, it’s interesting to watch how long it takes for attempts to resume.

I prefer a more granular visibility, repeat offenders automagically ratchet up their stay in the sin bin.

Rookie numbers.

My favourite f2b rule is the one strike ban on SSH root login attempts. Any IP originating a SSH root login attempt is clearly compromised, and gets black holed on all my hosts for a month.

Note: direct SSH login isn’t permitted at all, the daemon is exposed purely to log the attempts.
