I sometimes think I'm overly worried about exposing services on my home network to the internet. I've had #syncthing configured to be LAN-only since I installed it, and the only service I run on the open internet is the VPN so I can get access to my system remotely.
Have I been fooled by the internet equivalent of health class scare tactics where any sort of sexual activity = instant STDs and pregnancy?
@pganssle it sounds like you are operating with responsible network health and hygiene IMO. The only way your STD comparison works though, is if sex involved thousands or millions of people all copulating together in some kind of open-free-webscale-orgy. To me STD risk is exponentially lower than the network breach risk, but the infection is also much nastier and less desirable. 😆
