Thanks for this good advice, Marc!
Meanwhile I will be out for a few weeks, sick this week & running
weirdfilmfest next Tuesday, and possibly/probably in Unsafe Networks, where
the advice will come in handy.

 You have all probably already heard about the wifi KRACK attack. If not,
 here is the lowdown:
   
https://www.krackattacks.com/
 sudowrt is also affected. What this means is that your private wifi network
 is... potentially a lot less private.
 I started work on a fix here:
   
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/109
 but I ran into a build issue which maybe Grant knows how to fix?

 Hopefully we can sort this out over the next day or two.
 In the mean time node-operates may want to disconnect any sensitive devices
 from their private network. As always you should be using end-to-end
 encryption for all communications. Install the HTTPS Everywhere
 <https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere> browser extension if you haven't.
 For situations where end-to-end encryption is not viable, using a VPN like
 Mullvad <https://www.mullvad.net/> is a good idea.
