The nice thing about SSH key-based access is, I either have the key and login succeeds, or I have no business trying to log in.
That’s why my remote root server bans via fail2ban after a single failed login.
Yes I’ve had to write support to get a KMS. Yes it’s still configured like this.

as a nixos enjoyer, i have no idea how to setup ssh keys. fail2ban and a regular password for me. yes, i have locked myself out of my own server for hours at a time because i’m an absolute tool.
