This comes from the AbuseIPDB with a confidence level of 95%. I use
the following command to download and sort the IPs:
$ curl -G https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/blacklist -d \
confidenceMinimum=95 -H "Key: $ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY" \
-H "Accept: text/plain" | sort | sed -e '/:/w /tmp/ipv6.txt' \
-e '/:/d' > /tmp/ipv4.txt
I manually add the XML formatting to each file and run them through
tidy:
$ tidy -xml -utf8 -m -iq -w 0 roles/common/files/abusers-ipv4.xml
$ tidy -xml -utf8 -m -iq -w 0 roles/common/files/abusers-ipv6.xml
Add skip-name-resolve=1 to disable lookups of hostnames to IPs. We
need to make sure all accounts are using IPs like 127.0.0.1 instead
of "localhost" now.
It seems that the usefulness of the query cache is diminishing in
recent years. If your cache is large then the time taken to scan
the cache can be longer than the SQL query itself.

I downloaded the key and checked the fingerprint with gpg:
$ gpg --dry-run --import mariadb_release_signing_key.asc
gpg: key F1656F24C74CD1D8: 6 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: Total number processed: 1

It seems that it is no longer recommended/supported to install the
standalone certbot-auto client on Ubuntu 20.04. We apparently need
to use the one provided by Ubuntu, which luckily includes a service
and timer to renew the certs.
Older Ubuntus originally didn't use a persistent journal, which was
somewhat of a surprise when looking at logs after a few months. Now
this does not seem to be an issue since Ubuntu 18.04. As for CentOS
I do not use that distro here so I don't need to care.
The nftables backend should be more performant and flexible. I had
been planning to use it on Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 10 as well, but
there were issues with the specific versions used in those distros.
See: https://firewalld.org/2018/07/nftables-backend
We never used this simple firewall utility and in at least one case
a user on the server tried to use it and messed up the rules I had
set via firewalld.

This config stopped working a few years ago probably when hosts started
getting IPv6 and we need to allow ::1. Make sure we're only listening
on local loopback interfaces also.
