      depends on your use case

      home automation server that doesn’t connect to the internet? nah

      media server that only occasionally gets connected to the internet? maybe

      anything else that regularly connects to the internet, definitely

        Well if uses wireless connectivity with either range broader than your place or is connected to a device that is itself online it can still be a risk. Sure it’s very VERY specific but scanning techniques also improve.
