this has everything to do with guns. the more guns in society the more gun violence there is. is not rocket science

Australia has a lot of violence as well - it's simply not gun violence. I believe your conclusion is incorrect.

I have become something of a statist over the years and I apparently annoy a whole lot of people, when I argue for not upsetting the status quo much further. Needless to say, this obviously is not a good thing if you share that perspective with me. This is actual political violence. And it has little to do with guns. If someone really wanted to get to the guy, one would. The issue is further societal deterioration in basic standards.

Let me reiterate. Violence is not the answer for one reason and one reason only. Once it starts and everyone joins, it will be very, very hard to stop.

Yes - makes me think of the assassination of Shinzo Abe.

The gunman made his own gun, in a country with ultra-strict gun laws. The Unabomber made his own bombs. The Seattle mall Islamist knife attacker refused to stay down after being shot multiple times.

My takeaway: political terrorists are particularly motivated. Secondly, gun laws slow them down but don't stop them.

Are attacks like this—ransomware—always aimed at Windows-based systems? Is that the common denominator?

I've noticed that most Internet attacks are Windows-based but somehow "Microsoft" or "Windows" never makes it into the news copy. I've wondered if MS has a massive marketing/legal outreach to make sure that doesn't happen. And to make it sound like "this can happen anywhere", and "no computer is 100% attack-proof".

If you can't cope with the loss of a data centre you're not really running a resilient system.

Especially 15 hours after the DC comes back up and you're still offline.

I'm planning my transition away for 10 or so subdomains and 30 records.

The only feature I need to research in new providers is: access to Whois ASN numbers, which I insert into HTTP request headers. I use this to tailor my site for .gov and .edu users.
