      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 1:218/820 8f2962ff       REPLY: 1:229/426 25C56ADD       TZUTC: -0800        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.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 2022/07/11 (Linux/64)        * Origin: m O N T E R E Y b B S . c O M (1:218/820)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/305 153/7715 214/22 218/0 1 109 215 501 650 700       SEEN-BY: 218/720 810 820 840 850 860 870 880 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/111 112 113 114 206 275 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 266/512 282/1038 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848       PATH: 218/820 700 229/426           |
