Cloudflare

[Hamtaro126]

Well This may negate my time in NESDEV then, I am a human, though, And I hate cloudflare as much as I hate being tracked by cloud services... (I.E.. Google Captca)

They know you are in this site for a reason, This is not protection, This is a case of "Hey!!! If You just tracked us, So We Track And Bash Your Door Down BACK AT YA!!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED, YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE, OPEN UP OR WE STEAL YER DATA USING CLOUDFLARE'S TRACKING ANALYSIS LIKE EVERY OTHER SITE!!!"

BTW: I hated AI, Tracking, Etc, This policy still goes on with the list of protections, Using Librewolf+UBlock Orgin+SponsorBlock, and the latest Linux Mint...

I'm sick of CLOUDFLARE tracking ME, This RANT is DONE(TM)!!!

(PROPRIETARY DATA IS WACK, PRESS "F" FOR RESPECT!!!)

I'm as anti-Cloudflare as the rest of them but something I've (as a proud anti-whatever-ist) accepted is that the internet is not a public resource. In my personal case it is a thing I pay CenturyLink for and use through these metal wires encased in some polymer crap that some dude (who was cool) came and installed one day. I hate it. But it is a private service I purchase through some garbage corporation. Cloudflare is just one facet of the black hole that is the world wide web. I've been thinking of it in those terms lately, specifically the world wide web as the whole HTTP-driven thing vs. "the internet" as the whole of stuff like FTP, SSH connections, IRC, protocols out the waz. Cloudflare is a thing that exists in that HTTP space, accessing websites, but comes less into play with other protocols we use in our lives.

One one hand I like the web, reading content, seeing stuff, chit chat, what have you. But on the other hand, if Cloudflare and similar technologies start to pull less web time in peoples lives, I can't really complain. I don't engage with cell phones so like SMS and POTS calls and stuff, so I've come to accept the burden of single-point-of-failure and just plain creepy services like Cloudflare as a reasonable alternative to the /MUCH WORSE/ stuff going on in the sad husk of what was once telephone service in the world.

Not trying to minimize your experience but the gist of what I'm saying is the web has been in decline for a while, Cloudflare is the least of our worries. Web creepy stuff is avoided by file sharing over FTP, chit chat over IRC, stuff like that, cell phone creepy stuff is like diamonds, forever uwu.

"Agreed, QFT'ed by H.126"

I guess everything in the "WWW" is not a winner...

A Point to make about "Certain People" that exist in the world, whether that be the government, or people on "the Dark web", of which I'd always ESPECIALLY avoid the latter!

(Good thing I stay away from TOR and the Dark web... Thanks, SomeOrdinaryGamers!!!)

We're still being attacked daily, but I believe it should be successfully mitigated going forward. Please let us know if anyone is encountering problems now with the current mitigations.

I hope it will stop soon. Anyway, thank you all for your hard work!
