gollark: Well, I have somewhat working backups, so probably "wipe server, reinstall from USB stick, reload important stuff but probably keep external network access down for a bit".
gollark: I mostly just try and keep software up to date, shove sandboxes on network-facing services, and hope vulnerability-scanning botnets or something don't catch up fast enough.
gollark: Probably high, especially since all of it's written in unsafe C for some reason.
gollark: I like to think I'm okay at Linux administration stuff (not really networking), but it's entirely possible my servers have been compromised or something and I haven't noticed, really.
gollark: But I don't know if that's very practical.
