There are numerous open source firewall distro's that have the advantage of being authored by people well practiced in security coding, pen testing, etc, and are continually crowd tested for loopholes and shortcomings.
It's your edge device for security - not exactly a place you want to take risks with.

And this is why (in general) Americans are in debt. They don't understand that ANY savings, is savings. And that "just" saving 20,30,50 dollars a month adds up over 5-10 years.
I went thru this with my daughters a decade or so ago. We kept track of all the "Gee Dad, it's only 10 bucks" conversations. At the end of the year we reviewed what they accumulated, which was almost nothing, their items were either used up, no longer needed/wanted, broken, or tossed away. On the other hand, the $1400+ dollars, all stacked up in a nice pile of $20's looked like (and was to them) real money, a nice weekend trip, a new bike, a new laptop, etc. I'm happy to say my daughters did much better after that living experiment.
Unfortunately for most Americans, they just can't say no to the moment, and banks (and other service providers) are all to willingly to exploit their lack of judgement.
Easier yet if you can pair the amount of crucial stuff to under 4TB, then it's just one drive that you can rotate monthly (weekly?).
If you want to serve up ads on you site, make sure they're relevant, they're absolutely 110% malware free, and respect my privacy. And unless you're willing to take responsible for when those conditions aren't met, then don't whine when I do everything technical to block out the useless malware laden offensive ads that you do serve.
The difference between net ads and tv ads are that tv ads cost enough money that people who buy tv ads spend time and energy in being very selective about their market demographics and the type of ads they run. Plus I've never had a tv ad infect my tv and stop it from going to any other channel but CMT.
If me and my eyeballs are going to be your product, then I want a little respect for my participation.

This will NOT end well.
If they can't have a lawyer, send via certified mail (yes, snail mail) specifying the actual complaint, and the legal justification behind said complain, then just ignore them.
Google researches what makes Google money - period. If this is the current generations "hero", then we're doomed.
If Apple thinks $70K/week is high for lawyers, wait until they get the overage bills from their new HQ building contractors.
Hasn't that been common knowledge for at least a decade?
It's surprisingly doable - no one has ever died from not have a facebook account. No one has never not climbed the corporate ladder from not have a facebook account (the opposite is very true). No one has ever had a family disown them, forget about them, get confused who they are from not having a facebook account. Real friends will still call, get together, do things, and go places all without the "help" of facebook. Email of any flavor still works, as does SMS, and gasp snail mail. And of course that old faithful, realtime communication either by phone or in person is still oh so wonderful.
So put down the facebook koolaid and get a real life - it's amazing what can be done in the real world.
Here on the Western slope they have the worst service of the big four. Here, only people shopping strictly on price choose T-Mobile. They want your business, they just don't want to spend any money on the infrastructure to make it even marginally acceptable.

Or....
Is this just a ploy to get yet another stupid social media site some visibility traction on HN?
Hmmmmmmm?
My tinfoil hat guess - NASA's funding is so far in the dumps that anyone and everyone associated with real space science is hyping this dish rag in an effort to woo over the general public who are clueless about simple math and physics in an effort to pump up NASA's visibility for better funding. Hope it's worth selling out science to do so.
No, he's passionate about control.
Where do people get off telling others what they can and can't do with their life. Who better then the ACTUAL PERSON to decide when and if it's the right time to call it quits (for whatever reason - once again it's nobody elses business on the why).
With 7 billion people and counting, why are people making such a big deal when someone decides their time on the ride called "human life" should be over. For most, there is little choice, you live, then you die. For some, they would rather take personal control over the when. Why is that a bad thing?
The world has turned into a huge nanny - butting into the smallest of things that should remain completely in control of the individual.
Over the last 12 years, twice I've fought with cancer and won (or at least had it declared a tie) but you can bet that I have a exit plan in hand (and yes, that includes taking care of the people I'll leave behind). Withering away in excruciating pain is not for me (does that make me weak? a coward? or just prudent in deciding how I WANT to end MY LIFE).
