Don't expose stuff to the internet

Are you advocating for an self hosting to only exist locally? Or are you advocating for hosting everything on corporate servers?

Don't expose things to the internet

That goes for corporate settings as well as personal stuff. You almost certainly do not need your self hosted services to be publicly accessible by bots. Anything on the internet gets pounded.

... You just literally said hosting shouldn't exist. You are using the Internet right now.

Also pretty weird to keep phrasing this as a command, discounting an entire class of use cases to be invalid because bad actors exist?
