    NA> "Retarded" is very subjective... 99% of the world thinks we're ALL nuts   
    NA> for  what we're doing here.   
      
   I tend to agree with the 99% lol.   
      
   You seem like you know how to properly run a VLAN and insulate yourself. Good   
   on you. I can't say the same for other sysops necessarily...real security   
   requires dedication, as the risk landscape changes daily. My personal   
   preference is to dump this responsibility onto people that run big datacenters   
   leasing VPS slices where a core part of their business relies on preventing   
   nefarious actors from exploiting things.   
      
   I mean, if I wake up tomorrow and my wife bought a new toaster that hooks up   
   to the internet, to me, that's a risk...I had to convince her why we don't   
   hook the Samsung SmartTV up to the internet. And my firewall is completely   
   closed.   
      
   I also suffer a bit of paranoia due to some of the work I did in the past on   
   behalf of the government while abroad.   
      
   In any case I didn't mean to insult anyone for doing things the way you do, it   
   was more a response to how TJ was phrasing things which got under my skin a   
   bit.
