A good guide on initial server setup for users, ssh hardening and firewall settings. Not just useful for VPS it is basically the same steps on a home linux install too.

I’d be cautious following simple commands and configs without explanation or knowing what they do. And when someone copies public keys via clipboard I’m skeptic. Use ssh-copy-id or at least scp. And with Hetzner you can add your public key to their panel and it will be automatically added to every installation.
As it is stated, this is just a journal / checklist for someone and made publicly available. Don’t blindly follow such things without understanding what you are doing.
Good call, I don’t want to know how my clipboard history in KDE Plasma looks like
It’s the public key so it’s not bad for security reasons. For me it just feels wrong to copy the content of a file to another using the clipboard. It can cause problems and one day you’ll do it out of habit with something you shouldn’t.
