The HN title and the original sub headline are inaccurate per the published correction at the end of the article.
CORRECTION: In a previous version of this article, we reported that that the UKHSA had refused to release data that could link the Covid vaccine to excess deaths, as it argued that “releasing the data would lead to the ‘distress or anger’ of bereaved relatives if a link was found.” This was inaccurate; the UKHSA did not argue that the data could lead to the distress or anger of bereaved relatives if a link were found. In fact, it argued that the data could lead to “the families of the deceased being subjected to unsolicited approaches by the media and anti-vaccine campaigners”. This correction has been published following a partly upheld complaint to the Independent press Standards Organisation.

Sounds like a made up reason to justify not releasing statistics.
Well, guess it's worth spending a little time looking at it.
It appears that it's the Cloudflare Security Center scanning service? This would also explain how my unpublished service was located as I use Cloudflare for my DNS.
This is a confusing comment because Debian/Ubuntu/etc (you referenced apt) have separate security repositories that exist for this purpose. They have only security fixes and don't try to unnecessarily fix "other" stuff. I have not heard of the security repos pushing out a breaking update before.
`unattended-upgrade` uses only a subset of repos (ie security) and does this for you. If you actually wanted to schedule reboots, it can do that too.
I am personally now drawing a clear delineation between projects for my internal consumption (e.g. ansible scripts) and projects that have potential use for the general populace. For the prior, I now host a private Forgejo instance. For the latter, I'll put it on GitHub but mirror it to my Forgejo instance.
I was pleasantly shocked that Forgejo is literally a single binary with a relatively easy config. All my internal services reference my Forgejo instance so, if I need to bail on GitHub, it's low friction for me.
It comes back, or at least it did for me. Holding shift when rightclicking will get you to the menu you want reliably tho. Vetter yet, if at all an option, swithc to linux or start putting pressure internal to drive a switch. There's nothing left in windows but network effects, but the loss in productivity due to a switch to linux is readily be offset by not being hobbled by W11 anymore. Invest 1 unit of time now to recoup 1 unit of time per month ad infinitum.
SmarterEveryDay has a whole series[1] on manufacturing that covers how the US is losing/lost the ability to create tooling. I believe the "Smarter Scrubber" episode[2] is the one that explicitly talks about how not only has the US lost manufacturing capacity but it also lost the ability to spin up manufacturing. The tool and die episode also touches on it[3].
It is, and it reveals the pitfalls of trade as a whole to boot. At first order they want to make everything local, second order at least not China. So they order from India and get a drop shipment of Chinese made goods. LOL!
I can't speak to any particular dam closure but there's a lot more to maintaining dams than one might believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiUOBdEUqjY (Practical Engineering - All Dams Are Temporary)
