In a move that's sure to piss off a certain segment of people hardcore...

Replying to @dalias@hachyderm.io
@dalias@hachyderm.io DMZ in this case being “let this machine receive ALL of the traffic”. Most retro systems are protected at a basic level by NAT so things on the internet can’t specifically hit that system, modern routers stop it.

As long as you 1. Don’t go looking for trouble and 2. Don’t go out of your way to intentionally disable security features and *set the damn machine to be DMZ’d*, you’ll be fine putting an old machine on the network. Modern networking ensures it isn’t as vulnerable as when we rawdogged the internet back in the good ‘ol days. So please. Stop screaming at people when they show an XP box doing networking things. Thank you.

While I am sitting people down and lecturing them:

Hey, you. That guy who heard from a tech blog that connecting a vintage system to the internet will cause the whole universe to die. PLEASE STOP PARROTING THIS.

The source is likely a video of someone who connected XP to the internet and got it destroyed within seconds, but the lede is usually buried: said someone had to DMZ that XP instance *AND* disable the firewall. Two things you would NEVER EVER do on a modern system today.

I realize the occasion for doing this doesn’t have as much relevance here (it was to celebrate getting 1000 followers on the other site) buuut it’s still a #MARCHintosh thing so hey, I’ll post it here too.
