Have they rolled out the ads yet ? I feel like they keep teasing it but I might have missed the roll out and the backlash (there is no way there would not be SOME backlash)

Oh but I have them !
Every day an email is sent out with the backup status.
Every day I got my email in the morning with the back up logs.
For years.
I associated email received to backup successful, until a month or so when my vpn broke and the emails where just "could not connect", but it took me a while to bother actually opening the message body as it had always been the same for years.

So I'll manage it differently, have the email subject be more explicit about a success or a failure amongst other things.
Always learning :^)

Good old "don't judge a book by its cover"

Some books have names that don't evocate much, a tame cover and end up being smut books. Quick search brings up "Normal people". Unassuming title and cover, you might guess romance, but quoting an article mentioning it "The sex scenes in this one really do jump off the page".
You might not want your 10-13 y/o reading about that just yet…

Some other might have toxic ideas, graphic depiction of violence, or lots of things you might want a teen to not read just yet.

In SOME cases, it is cheaper than on prem. If you need a lot of compute power occasionally, it can be cheaper. If you actually scale up and down according to the load (which a lot of companies do not do), it might be cheaper. But a large amount of companies don't fall in those cases or don't do it efficiently. Some spend in a year the same amount they would have paid for on prem servers they would have kept 5 years or more.

Cloud providers offer other things like multi regional redundancy, which can be hard to achieve for smaller businesses.

I ended up going with Crowdsec.

The setup was a bit of a challenge as I like to do it the RTFM way abd that there is a bunch of concepts to grasp before you really understand what you are doing, but since then it's been working pretty great ! And it's free (as in you are providing them with data on the occurence of threats etc, so you don't pay)
