Of course you are right about that. There will always be risks. But I started SkyLordsLab BBS because I wanted to do something useful with the old netbook I already have. That was my main goal from the beginning. If this project starts requiring extra expenses it could put me in a serious financial situation. The modem and other equipment you mentioned earlier are a bit expensive. A separate internet connection would also add more costs. I just wanted to make use of an old computer without spending much money.

Risk will always remain because you're literally letting other people (and their bots, and OpenAI/Anthropic's employees hacking everything that accepts connections with apparent immunity) interact with your servers. Everything you isolate will reduce risk. If you do anything, do the separate network. Then, if someone hacks your BBS, you can just flash the disk.
