The sun’s core being filled with a quark plasma soup instead of, for example cotton candy, is also an assumption that is not evidence-based.
It’s almost like we as humans can use logic and reason to determine things to be extremely significantly probable without having proof in our hands.
But it depends on the size of the network/system and how many devices have an open port and are open to connection.
It may not make a difference on 1 server, but if you have a full network with managed switches, routers, firewalls and access points would its impact become more significant?
Not a network expert, just a technician, and I’m curious so any insight is appreciated!
