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.
