I’m interested in #Linux, #FOSS, data storage/management systems (#btrfs, #gitAnnex), unfucking our society and a bit of gaming.

Disabling su is stupid because you always need some form of privilege escalation, restricting sudo to apt offers no security benefit whatsoever as apt allows arbitrary file modification, disabling root ssh provides no benefit when the unprivileged user has sudo access – I could go on.
Yikes, lot’s of bad advice in this thread.
My advice: Go develop an actual threat model and find and implement mitigations to the threats you’ve identified.
If you can’t do that, that’s totally okay; it’s a skill that takes a lot of time and effort to learn and is well-compensated in the industry.
You will need to pay for it. Either through an individual assessment by someone who knows what they’re doing, managed hosting services where the hoster is contractually liable and has implemented such measures, by risking becoming part of a botnet or by not hosting in a world-public manner.
