    The unstable part is just compared to other versions of Debian. Every now and then a package dependency breaks, but usually nothing serious and you can still use the system until it is fixed within hours. It is not like the system will constantly crash, it is still linux.

    I have used sid for years without any major problems. Usually only on desktop though.










  • Security is hard. Especially at the scale of those companies. Since they are big, they get a lot more hacking attempts. Makes more sense for bad actors to attack someone with millions of customers than your mom & pop store that might have hundreds, if everything being equal.

    More and more people and compa ies wants to store things “in the cloud”, (read: someone else’s server). It is for the most part a good thing as it makes it easier to access, but it also opens up bigger and other attack vectors.

    So, I think the number of breeches will only increase. Not always because the companies have bad security (though sometimes it is 100% that), but also because the attack vectors keep growing due to changed business decisions and user preferences.
