I want to upvote and downvote this post… it’s so controversial
203 upvotes, 202 downvotes. The most controversial lemmy post I’ve ever seen
Wait… so why is it 69/23 for me?
Federation is its own magical fuckup. Look at my comments for a recent example.
Defederation probably
I feel like I’m making history. A real end user vs tech people conundrum.
A “people who know what cloudflare acutally does” vs “people who found the meme funny” conundrum.
One more head of Hydra. Espionage System built by the big techs
I am baffled seeing so much cloudflare fanboys here…
Cloudflare is everywhere, it sees everything, it holds everything, it has private keys for tons and tons of websites, it’s subject to the absence of any privacy law in the US, but they are “nice”. Wow.
Google also was nice. It used to give you good results. Twitter also was nice.
Honestly, I don’t know how any end user who doesn’t understand IT and wasn’t around before services like Cloudflare were available can say this. They objectively don’t have the information or experience to make the claim.
What?? I thought cloudflare is good. Free Ddos protection, etc.
Single point of failure for the whole internet.
If cloudflare goes down you can just update DNS to not use it …
Only because no one does what they do as well as they do it.
If they had competition, that wouldn’t be the case. Sadly, there are very few other good guys out there…
What about akamai? Other CDNs and the like.
I wouldn’t call clourflare a single point.
Cloudflare is having some weird issues with Discord this morning.
O.o Do you understand what Cloudflare actually does?
Provides a single point of failure for a large portion of the internet that nobody else has any control over?
Using cloudflare is more reliable than using your own stuff which is still an option that nobody chooses anymore because it’s better to choose cloudflare or something similar.
I’m going to go ahead and assume you don’t work with internet security in any way, have no experience in web development, and have never attempted to provide web application services to more people than you can count on your fingers, but if you had, cloudflare is mana from heaven.
This persons main connection to the internet is hentai.
Just… save your braincells.
Throwback to when 1.1.1.1 dropped and we all loved couldflare
Not all of us.
You’re trying too hard
What ever bud, y’all aren’t trying hard enough. I’ve been on the fuck CloudFlare train for ten years. Centralizing surveillance SPOF can eat a bag of dicks.
Idk, but my homelab thanks it for the free ZTN and workers.
