The 'locking the door' metaphor is just flat-out incorrect. A public-facing webserver is simply not a place to store your shit..
A closer analogy would be two tables out the front of your house covered in fruit, with a sign saying "Free Fruit" on one table and then expecting people not take fruit from the other table.
- hunter2_ 9y agoI like this analogy a lot. But I think even better would be someone setting up a store in an area advertised like "everything is included with the price of admission" (admission being your ISP fee) and taking from the store without realizing it's not truly all inclusive. The store needs to be a vending machine, not a shelf.
