Considering the power of three letter agencies in the USA and the complete unhingedness of the new administration, I would not trust anything to a contract.

- rsanek 2y agocan we even trust the hardware?
- sambull 2y agono, just being speculative... about that.
- WiSaGaN 2y agoWell you don't need to worry unless you are already on the list.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoThese days getting on a list may require as little as "is trans" or "has immigrant parents."
- lyu07282 2y agoor "your competitor donated to Musk/Trump campaign"

- mycall 2y agoThe hardware can be airgapped.
- infecto 2y agoSure I am certain there is a possibility but unless you have airgapped your local instance and locked down your local network securely it does not really matter. It’s cool to run things locally and it will get better as time goes on but for most use cases I don’t find it worth it. Everyone is different and folks that enjoy the idea of local network secure can run it locally.
- fulafel 2y agoEven a badly operated on-prem system has the advantage that if someone breaks in, they are taking a risk of getting caught. Whereas with Azure the TLAs could just hoover up everything there without high risk of customers finding out (assuming they can gag MS). Given the reporting about NSA's "collect everything" modus operandi this doesn't seem very far fetched.
- lyu07282 2y agohmm do we still have to pretend that this is some sort of conspiracy theory? really? after snowden? it doesn't "seem very far fetched", its a fact
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoIt's less "possibility" and more "certainty."
