@soatok I remain under the opinion that most companies should be running their websites from computers in the closets of their offices.
In fact...
Remote work makes sense, but cloud services usually don't. Tech has it backwards.

@AeonCypher @soatok

I think, that if every org runs their own website in their closet of their offices as it was once done, outages will happen more often - but not all at the same time.

@unixwitch @soatok Yes. Consolidating correlated risk doesn't reduce total risk.
