This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If it is connected to the internet, and it is not actively receiving updates, it is not working for its purpose.

If it is airgapped from all networks, I agree with you completely.

Nightmare fuel, at this point. NOTHING but shiny updated firewalls connect to the net themselves.
