Welcome to the world wide web. We know all about you.
There's no place to hide .

Maybe someone should have picked up their smartphones before they made this visualization?
Nah....

I commented that it's a bad policy because I think it causes unnecessary stress which can lead to health problems. I'm glad you draw pride in this but to me it is a sub par solution.

You are correct of course this has impacted my health.
It's not easy to have a life when you move at the pace I keep.
In fact people have actually died from health problems trying to keep up with me.

Hence I have consistently moved to make it possible for me to leave the grid more often and with greater independence.
It is still my responsibility to know what is going on in my scope of influence as much as possible.

The issue is really more of one in which the security market's threats are larger than the capacity of most markets to expend on adequate defense. So, for example, if I build something that depends on DynDns...not to long ago it would have been down for most of Friday.

Course now we even have people that want to pump code straight into production using DevOps automation.
So if it's not an external issue it is managing the internal risks created by increased production demands.
