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.
