It's part of the strategy.
Overwhelm the news cycle, see what the news picks up and push that more, let the actual bad stuff go under-reported.

Unless your home internet is CG-NAT, both have a publicly accessible IP address, so both will be scanned

Who is externally reaching these servers?
Joe public? Or just you and people you trust?

If it's Joe public, I wouldn't have the entry point on my home network (I might VPS tunnel, or just VPS host it).

If it's just me and people I trust, I would use VPN for access, as opposed to exposing all these services publicly

American airliners sold passenger data to ICE.

Why the fuck would I go there as a tourist?
Enjoy TSA's finest just to be ICEd once I get to my hotel?
Fuck that, I can have a better holiday in Europe.

That's just people not used to dedicated cycle paths.
You would likely have as many issues of a pedestrian trying to cross a road and not seeing a cyclist, as you would travelling on a dedicated cycle path with an ignorant pedestrian.

It just needs everyone calling out people on cycle paths. They likely aren't even aware they are on it.

But that's a lot to read into a single picture. Maybe they have checked both ways, and know nobody is coming (like they would with cars on a road)

Edit:
The 2 people further down don't look like they are crossing!

I can understand.
We have some new dedicated cycle lanes in our city (I mean, they are a few years old now. But fairly unique in our country).
I feel bad for the cyclists. They have a dedicated path, which pedestrians are super ignorant of (they are better marked than this picture).
My parents think they are a menace when they visit, because they are unaware of them and get menaced by cyclists.
Except, that's literally what roads are. They just grew up with roads and (even faster) cars.

So, I am understanding of the transition.
And everyone needs to call everyone out over it. It will make everyone safer

WRT macros & VBA conversion:

with AI to save time and avoid errors

Maybe it saves time, but I doubt it avoids errors.
I would rather the time spent to develop this was spent on improving the plugin/extension/macro development ecosystem.
I know they have an SDK, and I'm sure it's great.

But with MS Office, I can install Visual Studio, create a new VSTO plugin for what I'm targeting (excel, word, powerpoint, outlook etc), and get into coding. When I hit Play (as in run with debugger) it will launch the targeted application and build/hook in my plugin.
It's literally idiot proof, until it gets to writing code (then it's c#).
And Visual Studio is a decent IDE.
The only thing really holding it back is the terrible documentation from Microsoft regarding the VSTO or Com Interop or whatever it's called. It's truely terrible, trying to figure out how to implement your idea.

Make Codium systems similar to Platform.io (which is for Arduino, ESP32 etc), except for your given office suite.
Make it better than the Visual Studio VSTO experience.

That's what I really want.
And more people to use it, of course. I'm so fed up of Microsoft crap

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered

I feel like that should only apply if you uphold the constitution and laws of the United States.

Just ship the tourists up to the ISS. Probably cheaper
