  So while we wait to reach 1000 - what’s everyone’s top 3 VPS tips? Surely that’ll generate some movement.

  This is certainly a little more common but may as well recommend it, setting a bash password is somewhat recommended because some VPS providers allow all incoming VNC connections without a password. Here's a little more sane alternative to enabling bash passwords though to prevent some exploitation if that does happen. All this is doing is disabling all the ways to shutdown the VPS from VNC (just keystrokes) that I'm aware of to prevent attackers from accessing GRUB.

  systemctl mask ctrl-alt-del.target
  sudo sed -i 's/^#CtrlAltDelBurstAction=reboot-force/CtrlAltDelBurstAction=none/' /etc/systemd/system.conf
  echo "kernel.sysrq = 0" | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-disable-sysrq.conf && sudo sysctl --system
  

  Which providers???

  I don't know of any providers that do it nowadays, but I swear it would be every fifth small provider ~6 years ago and I'm assuming it was even worse before. It's best to have those small precautions in place anyways as there's bound to still be some incompetent providers.

  lol you scared me

  Update regarding https://blackfriday.lukastautz.de: it's now updated every 10 minutes automatically.

  Why every 10 minutes? Why not every 6.9 minutes?
