I'm not clear on why people would be exposing MongoDB on a public address?

This habit of database-like software (does Redis still not offer authentication?) treating authentication/authorization as a second-class citizen is odd.

I guess it has proven to be webscale though [1].

I haven't heard of one person using them, but similar to the sibling poster, I'd switch to 100% Linux if most of the Steam games I like were available on Linux.

That said, Valve's "focus" on Linux does seem to have seen an increase in what games are available on Linux. Or possibly that is more modern dev environments supporting Linux/iOS/Android out of the box? Not sure.
