- The thread author limited who can reply.mitigating your exposed surface area isn't pointless. throwing your hands up and saying it's pointless if you can't be perfect is unhelpful in the way i was saying before.
- The thread author limited who can reply.you could ask digital security experts like @mshelton.bsky.social who i suspect would agree that making some effort is better than making no effort. it's not "pointless" (sorry for the tag, martin; i think we could just do with some expertise here)
