I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out why fail2ban didn’t increment the ban count.

-bantime.incremet     = true
+bantime.increment    = true
 bantime.rndtime      =
 bantime.maxtime      =
 bantime.factor       = 1

After I found that I seriously considered becoming a goose farmer.

    know the feel. even funkier with ssh/scp and the like with every other tool using a different case argument for the same

    that’s how we learn and grow, i guess 🤷

      I came to the comments to mention that exact experience. There must be historical reasons that SCP uses -P and SSH uses -p but I certainly didn’t expect it since they’re both from the same package (openssh)

      Oh yeah, you can be damn sure I’ll never make that mistake again.
