That's not the point, though. The competitor (Windows) mostly has none of these problems, and that's pretty much what matters EOD. If you cannot expect a generic PC to run Linux, `$currentYear is the year of the Linux Desktop` wil

Mostly due to being forced. For example: serverless aurora forces a VPC on you. With delays as bad as 8+ seconds for ENI attachment, this is a significant holdback ( https://medium.freecodecamp.org/lambda-vpc-cold-starts-a-la

Your network isn't referring to /your personal/ network. The filtering is more likely ASN wide (i.e: targets entire netblocks / ISPs). There sadly are a lot of ISPs who are known to ignore abuse reports completely leadin
