   I suppose if you're also using the Win10 machine for the BBS as     
   well as for internet-things then the security patches migh     
   matter.   
      
   Even so, I find that the vast majority of problems occur from     
   phishing scams that lure people to nefarious sites and THEN get     
   the damaging payload.  But if you never click on an unsolicited     
   link in an email and stick with familiar sites, you can hum     
   along nicely without more "patches".

   Kubernetes intrigues me. I'd love to see how it's actually     
   used. Just reading about it gives me a headache. I don't     
   understand how it works or why it is needed.
