Then again, if the iron isn't dipped in epoxy (not done), in your own secure datacenter (not extant), on trusted #OpenHW (not AMD / Intel / or any other to date), built in trusted #OpenFabs (non extant), running validated #OpenSW (non extant), in a voluntarist libertarian environment free from force, one's use case might be moot.
Gotta love you Grarpamp. :-)
But in the real world we /have/ to trust someone, somewhere, somehow, sometime. What everyone has to decide for themselves is /how much/ trust to give, to whom, when, where and why. And that depends entirely on your threat model and your appetite for risk.
