i do stupid things all the time, lots of times i just do it to be interesting.

but there's common sense stuff and people need to attempt to think sometimes.

you don't want to make things difficult for an audience that would rather just drop their connection on you and watch some memes.

i dont care if 1000 people are running their bbses and other things on wrong ports and think it's a great idea.  it's not.  you're on the internet and this means you are going to be scanned all day long no matter WHAT you do.

i just opened up vnc on THIS server and i have shadowserver scanning me all day, a email attacks, and web attacks. i'm not shitting my pants over it.
i'm still able to type out my nasty comments here and it's not lagging.
