I feel like I'm making history. A real end user vs tech people conundrum.
To all the upstart website-havers: no, you probably don't actually need to use cloudflare
One more head of Hydra. Espionage System built by the big techs
Considering how I (try) to do bug bounties for money, it's bad for that, but otherwise, it'd probably be worse without it, considering how it seems a lot of developers seem to totally rely on it for reflected XSS protection.
I really think that on the list of worst single points of failure, DNS is not one of them. Given how easy it is to actually switch. And given that cloudflare outages are not nearly as common, The times they do happen usually are only for half an hour or so.
Literally trying to figure out if Cloudflare or tailscale would be the best way to go. The memes have spoken
Don't use memes to make decisions I'm just mad I can't use the discord app on my desktop, can't download manga from nhentai without jumping through hoops anymore, and have to solve 5 captchas in a row when I use a vpn which is all the time.
