    Skyrim has “ray traced” shadows in certain places and works great. I was in a cave once and hiding behind a cliff. An enemy was wandering around the next room and I was able to use the shadow cast on him by a torch to observe his movements without having his actual body in my field of view.

    All this modern RT nonsense does is make things look slightly better than screen space reflections and tank performance.




  • I generally do a few things to protect SSH:

    1. Disable password login and use keys only
    2. Install and configure Fail2Ban
    3. Disable root login via ssh altogether. Just change “permit root login” from “no password” to just “no”. You can still become root via sudo or su after you’re connected, but that would trigger an additional password request. I always connect as a normal user and then use sudo if/when I need it. I don’t include NOPASSWD in my sudoers to make certain sudo prompts for a password. Doesn’t do any good to force normal user login if sudo doesn’t require a password.
    4. If connecting via the same network or IPs, restrict the SSH open port to only the IPs you trust.
    5. I don’t have SSH internet visible. I have my own Wireguard server running on a separate raspberry pi and use that to access SSH when I’m away, but SSH itself is not open to the internet or forwarded in the router.
