Utilizing Specter/Meltdown-vulnerable computers safely: possible?
Due to budgetary constraints, the majority of the computers I own are old enough that they will never receive patches for Specter/Meltdown vulnerabilities. Is there a way to safely/securely use these computers in a home environment? For example, could I use a new inexpensive computer (Beagleboard or equivalent?) to act as a firewall between my home network and the Internet? Or is my only option to keep the older computers completely disconnected from the grid? Ideas welcomed.
