Enhance SSH security documentation and update arch install notes

- ssh-setup-guide.md: Added comprehensive security hardening section with:
  * Non-standard port configuration (Port 2222)
  * Advanced SSH hardening settings (MaxAuthTries, ClientAlive, AllowUsers)
  * Dynamic DNS setup for remote access (DuckDNS, No-IP, Cloudflare)
  * fail2ban installation and VPN considerations
  * Additional security steps checklist

- arch-install-notes.md: Updated post-installation priorities with yadm setup

+### Additional Security Steps:
+- [ ] **Change SSH port**: Edit `Port 22` to custom port (e.g., `Port 2222`)
+- [ ] **Install fail2ban**: `sudo pacman -S fail2ban && sudo systemctl enable fail2ban`
+- [ ] **Configure firewall**: Update ufw rules for new SSH port if changed
+- [ ] **Set up dynamic DNS**: For remote access (DuckDNS, No-IP, Cloudflare)
+- [ ] **Consider VPN**: For secure remote access instead of exposing SSH

 ## Setting Up Hostname Resolution
 
 ### Method 1: Using /etc/hosts (Simple, Local Only)
