I’m the exact opposite, every Linux install has something fucked, but I’ve never experienced any of these major Windows issues.

“Private on-prem cloud”… Are we circling back?

Exactly this. It’s the hype cycle all over again. Everyone gets excited about the new thing, the new thing is easy to implement but hard to utilize effectively, everyone starts shoehorning the new thing into their thing, they throw shit-tons of money at it and shit-tons more to market it as the greatest thing ever, and then everyone starts to see the truth. The new thing is okay and can be useful but it has been way overblown, and it all starts to crumble down to where it should be and then we build it up slowly from there.

If that is a concern for you then you should also look into blocking other mass-scanning services as well, like Shodan.

I know there are plenty of others as well, I would imagine someone somewhere has a list of services like that.

Thanks! Would never have thought that was where it would be.
