AWS-Lc looks very promising replacement for OpenSSL these days.

I think all of this dead end: it is like protecting your apartment only by strong locks etc. Modern society protects from crime using punishment and moral norms. Not only by locks.

One quite convenient thing is that Windows Installer packages can be installed via Group Policy, making deployment for new nodes work like a charm. How is a sysadmin supposed do this with scripts?

May be it's a fashion? Like using Electron/Edge for Start Menu.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I am missing the old Microsoft these days. How did we end up in the world where technologies like Windows Installer are replaced with PowerShell scripts that downloads software from the Internet?

As far I remember NAND/NOR memory (used for SSD) is very slow to *erase*. The erase operation can be performed only by big chunks, requires higher voltage etc.

SSD vendors circumvent this by adding several layers of write buffers to achieve good test results.

It's a no-brainer: if you query less, it works faster. Especially in post-spectre world.

It seems Azure FrontDoor is affected, because our private VM works fine in different regions.
