Despite the dire predictions and hype about the two massive CPU bugs (OK 3) and how stuff on your computers is open to anyone, the attacker still has to get something running on your computer on your computer in user mode to exploit the bug. So unless you are worried about Microsoft taking all of your data (hint they can already) all you have to do is not do anything unsafe. (Good luck with that.)
SO best advice, Patch Everything! And then only do the stuff that really matters on Linux because of all of the other Windows bugs they will never patch.
Oh and Jan 25 to Jan 31, Wintereenmas is coming :-)

New year new Leaf?
I'm still here, still watching the cyber scene and playing video games.
2018, who knew we would get here? Well it was inevitable really and well with all the stuff that happened in 2017 it looks like it will be fun to watch.
Cyber already heating up with the Intel (and other chip makers) security flaws, Meltdown and spectre. As we learn more keep in tune and hopefully I can post something here.
