I suppose if you're also using the Win10 machine for the BBS as  
well as for internet-things then the security patches migh  
matter.

Even so, I find that the vast majority of problems occur from  
phishing scams that lure people to nefarious sites and THEN get  
the damaging payload.  But if you never click on an unsolicited  
link in an email and stick with familiar sites, you can hum  
along nicely without more "patches".

Kubernetes intrigues me. I'd love to see how it's actually  
used. Just reading about it gives me a headache. I don't  
understand how it works or why it is needed.
