I have been thinking about self-hosting my personal photos on my linux server. After the recent backdoor was detected I’m more hesitant to do so especially because i’m no security expert and don’t have the time and knowledge to audit my server. All I’ve done so far is disabling password logins and changing the ssh port. I’m wondering if there are more backdoors and if new ones are made I can’t respond in time. Appreciate your thoughts on this for an ordinary user.

    We don’t know. However, no one cares about your personal photos ; no one will ever attempt to hack you specifically unless you’re a high value target (in which case, stop hosting your photos anywhere immediately)

    To those assumptions I would say : we don’t know. Personal vendettas do exist and we cannot look into the minds of individuals going crazy neither.

      That fair enough I guess, really depends on what kinda personal photos you have. I know people are worried about revenge porn, I personally think the only actual remedy is not having any porn of yourself anywhere unless it’s your job 🤷🏻‍♀️
