Probing for open buckets and selling the results for people likely looking to do nasty things with the is unethical IMO, but it's still more ethical to do it and then bring it up to warn others of it, than to just do it. I mean, how do you know if the people talking about this fantastic value add at the fingertips of anyone are not doing it?
When it comes to doing basic napkin math and publish the results, that I find highly ethical, actually.

- johnnyworker 3y agoIt took me 3 secs to find this: https://buckets.grayhatwarfare.com/ https://buckets.grayhatwarfare.com/ So I think the practical difference is mostly between praising S3 (as synonym for "the cloud" when Amazon wasn't even mentioned, no less) and warning at least to use it diligently, which when it comes to costs might often be not using it at all.
- leetrout 3y agoThe context of the conversation is on tape drives which is about mass storage. The comment I replied to said: > someone else's server in Virgina While everyone may operate there now it was exceedingly common in mu experience to be referring to AWS when referencing Dulles / Ashburn / NoVA or just Virginia since AWS started there first. So I figure S3 is the correct comparison to not having a 50 TB tape drive under your desk when "the cloud" is being discussed.
