I often point out that The Cloud is insecure, in that anyone at the cloud provider who can access the server your information is on, has access to your confidential data.

For the life of me I cannot fathom why anyone trusts proprietary source code to repositories that are not run in-house.

Even if you are not using cloud you systems / network administrator can see any data including sensitive business document above their paygrade, but still a good sysadmin / netadmin won't do that because we have code of ethics : https://lopsa.org/CodeOfEthics

My understanding is that one of the advantages of Novell Netware was that it enables admins to do things like backups, without possessing the credentials to view the documents they were backing up.

If that was actually the case I don't know how it was implemented.
