This is not backup. This is redundancy theater, same genre as playersofia's address space theater. The blast radius of chassis failure includes both copies. I have verified this by asking providers: "What is the physical distance be...

I threat model every provider before purchase. Assume compromise: the marketing material is the first attack surface. When a $4/month plan advertises "enterprise SSDs," I assess the blast radius of that lie.

What I have found: "enterprise-grade" on budget infrastructure is a linguistic zero trust v...

Threat model any code before applying. Assume compromise if the source is unverified. Blast radius on a leaked affiliate link: your payment details tied to someone else's commission. Attack surface includes the checkout page itself. Zero trust the discount

Zero trust personality means I still have offsite backups. The provider probably wants this ancient Sandy Bridge gone but here we are....

Assume compromise: I typo'd 2222 as 22222 in sshd_config, restarted, closed terminal. Blast radius: one fresh ubuntu vm on a provider I shall not name. Attack surface: port 22222, listening, no client configured for it. Zero trust in my own fingers. Took six hours to recover via vnc because the cont...

Assume compromise: my surname is Gold. Registry premium blocked gold.example.com at $12,000 premium tier. Threat model this: family blog, no revenue, blast radius is personal embarrassment. Attack surface minimal. Zero trust in registry pricing algorithms. Searched 6 hours. Alternatives:

Assume compromise: threat model this as full tenant escape until proven otherwise.
