is it worth my while to mount /usr ro for security measures now that I am accessing remote servers and accounts through ftp and ssh.. and I bring this up because i have virtually no controlled security of any type like firewalls or virus detection on my system.. would this be advisable or unnecessary. it would seem that it would be a bit tedious to have to remount rw to add binaries and utilities in my /usr/local and /usr/bin and then remount ro.

systemd-remount-fs.service
SYSTEMD-REMOUNT-FS.SERVICE(8) systemd-remount-fs.service SYSTEMD-REMOUNT-FS.SERVICE(8)
NAME
systemd-remount-fs.service, systemd-remount-fs - Remount root and kernel file systems
SYNOPSIS
systemd-remount-fs.service
/lib/systemd/systemd-remount-fs
DESCRIPTION
systemd-remount-fs.service is an early boot service that applies mount options listed in fstab(5) to the root file system, the /usr file
system, and the kernel API file systems. This is required so that the mount options of these file systems -- which are pre-mounted by the
kernel, the initial RAM disk, container environments or system manager code -- are updated to those listed in /etc/fstab. This service
ignores normal file systems and only changes the root file system (i.e. /), /usr and the virtual kernel API file systems such as /proc,
/sys or /dev. This service executes no operation if /etc/fstab does not exist or lists no entries for the mentioned file systems.
For a longer discussion of kernel API file systems see API File Systems[1].
