I think that’s an strawman, you are comparing a technology to human rights, it’s not exactly an apples to apples comparative.

I’m just rewriting everything in Ansible and I think is worth the effort, it’s self-documented and as an added bonus I won’t have to keep backups of the whole VMs, just the ZFS pool with the data/databases.

Yes, it’s all right there but at the same time a lot of information/work, if you could divide it and expand in specific parts with more proof and data in multiple blog posts, I would consider it informative journalism.

That’s a lot of information, and really scary. Not knowing that a company as big and invasive as Genetec existed and at the same time only knowing about them because of Flocks fuck ups… doesn’t really give me hope, most of the people won’t know about them and even if they do, Genetec can just lay low while the US people fight against Flock surveillance.
