It quite literally does not.

In 2008, I would have felt comfortable running a Snow Leopard machine with Web Sharing enabled accessible over WAN. Then I could throw whatever I wanted into the ~/Sites folder and access it anywhere.

In 2018 I wouldn't dare do this because Snow Leopard's apache is outdated and vulnerable.




>It quite literally does not.

It quite literally does. I don't have Web Sharing enabled because the machine isn't hooked up to the network or internet at all.

This computer can still do everything it did when I bought it. Even with an outdated Apache server, I can still run the same sites on it now that I did back when I bought it, even if that's not recommended because it may have vulnerabilities.

You are wrong.
