I mean, there's a ton of unique identifiers on machines already tied to hardware and disks, but that must be a systemd thing since my Devuan machine does not have it.

But given there's no cloud accounts on linux I would imagine it's trivially changed just like a NIC's MAC

Also, seems unlikely it would be used for any single-signon with cloud services.

I'm guessing Devuan still has /var/lib/dbus/machine-id.

There are _some_ cloud accounts for linux such as Ubuntu One, which I would fear could have similar identification capabilities if ever forced by to do so by a 3-letter agency
