Ok… but that doesn’t answer my question. Where are you physically when you’re working on this that people are attacking exposed ports? I’m either at home or in the office, and in either case there’s an external firewall between me and any assholes who want to exploit exposed ports. Are your roommates or coworkers those kinds of assholes? Or are you sitting in a coffee shop or something?

What you’re comfortable with as a contributor is irrelevant. What matters is whether you understand the maintainers’ intent and whether the people you’re interacting with think you’re acting like a dick. Someone who’s bad at understanding how other people feel will likely be bad at predicting what behavior will come across as being a dick.
Not everyone has high emotional intelligence. There’s a fair bit of overlap between programmers/engineers and people on the spectrum. A good code of conduct effectively spells out how to avoid being a dick.
You’re using services they provide for free. They can do whatever the fuck they want.

It’s really more of a bell curve shape. If you’re not important enough you won’t get a big screen. The receptionist may only have a phone.
I think the point is, the kind of people who have “million dollar ideas” are now using LLMs instead of pestering real programmers.
If committing over the weekend is what makes the difference between committing a secret and not, that’s an issue.
Ah, when you said local I assumed you meant your physical device
