Debian isn't in danger, I believe it's gonna hit only Windows and Macs

Yes, it was actually noticeable in my case! However, it wasn't my PC but the modem that was affected. I had to turn it off and turn it back on again after about 5 seconds and then it worked again. That was the first time something like that happened. ;)

The walls, ceiling and floor of my apartment are papered with heavy duty aluminum foil hung with rubber glue. Shiny side facing out.
