How long is your unix beard?

@tinker Were there any actual infosec people in the crowd or just infosec-aligned managers?

This is a great post by one of the #Fosstodon admins. Disregard it being about Fosstodon (!) - it highlights something that I feel is critically important for our decentralized times:

*** When you host things _for others_ you are taking on a _job_ - with responsibilities - for the foreseeable future ***

Do not do this if you don't fully understand and accept the implications. Many of us are quite technical and can easily stand up various services - but that's not the same thing as saying that we _should_!

My first service that I hosted for others was a Fidonet node. It took me close to 30 years to realize that i shouldn't, outside of the immediate family.

We need more _small_ Mastodon (Fediverse) instances. Many more. Tens of thousands.

@nopatience What's "the latest"? ;) Cybersec is a _huge_ area. Trying to just keep up with some headlines feels nice but to actually keep up within my own specific niches is a whole different thing.
