    How often do you update your servers?

    On your first point, unattended updates should never be done in a production environment. Even on a non-production server, you risk breaking changes or an unoptimized config if a major version is released (not all packages try for non-BC). What I tend to do, is tune my RSS reader for major...

    Singapore VPS - Specific Datacenter

    Unsure if any hosts operate out of Starhub (I haven't seen any offers mention Starhub as the datacenter), but most will have peering with Starhub.

    Chromium spyware logging injected via extension called VLC Plugin Plyer

    That's why I always check the permissions first. If they request absurd permissions when the extension is only for Youtube, then that's an instant red flag! Other than that I try to stick to extensions that are OSS... That however is not always possible, which is why I then look into the...
