Effectively.  The server is always on, but my secret keyring is not
installed on the server.  The only active system with the secret
keyring is only running when I am in front of it.

Well, I suppose there's the threat of people kicking in the door, but
if that kind of situation were to become a possibility (again), my
concerns wouldn't pertain to my email and/or files, my concerns would
be more in the nature of defending life and limb.
