    What does “without any disks in use” mean?

    • If the computer is powered off, moved or confiscated, there is no data to retrieve.
    • We get the operational benefits of having fewer breakable parts. Disks are among the components that break often. Therefore, switching away from them makes our infrastructure more reliable.
    • The operational tasks of setting up and upgrading package versions on servers become faster and easier.
    • Running the system in RAM does not prevent the possibility of logging. It does however minimise the risk of accidentally storing something that can later be retrieved.
