[Elecraft] Radio clocks, internet and security!

[Bill Frantz]

While relatively few people use Linux as a desktop environment, 
many servers run Linux. Breaking into servers is a big deal for 
the bad guys.

I do generally agree with Don about the modern stuff like Siri 
and Alexa. I go so far as to run a email user agent which 
doesn't interpret HTML. Using only basic text greatly reduces 
the attack surface on my computer. Also, not automatically 
following links in the email improves privacy.
