Thanks Ralf,
I guess it's a lack of perspective and a matter of scale. Never waded
into the dark-side of the net, have no interest. I hail from an era of

one wall and was owned by the telephone company.
I hope 2026 is kinder to Arch services than the past year, and that
cloud providers figure out how to defend better against such attacks --
so that the services they peddle to companies like Arch - work.
(reasonable downtime allowed for -- gremlins).
