Dummies. Everyone involved.

I like Veritas. They should have been ready for all this.

We shall all escape the slave plantations by running in every direction. Chaos. Then go silently to our alt nets. Free of their commercial hell. Left we shall be to deal with the intelligence groups.

That is far better than dealing with the intelligence apparatus and the corporate owners.

Time for people to stop using Facebook.

I don't understand why normies live on Facebook.

All I hear is their family + friends are on there.

I think they are mostly being voyeuristic and spying on what other people open post.

Beyond that it's become thing for businesses to have no website and point people to their Facebook. I yell at businesses all the time about that. Can't even view their stuff often if not logged into FB.

Facebook is smart enough to look at end side after your convert the link for destination and gather that. You could time them out there or create more complex situation before allowing real person to do activity to click on something to then be forwarded.

Interesting project. Would like to see more approachable full example... Keep up the work.

The data caps are unlimited (well over 8 Terabytes a month)... if you cancel your Comcast residential account, wait a week, then open a new BUSINESS COMCAST account using a different phone number, email, and slight spelling difference for name, for only about double the price.

BUSINESS comcast will repair your line in under 3 hours! Always! Business comcast will send a tech to your house even at 9pm!!! Business comcast is astounding.

UNLIMITED!!!!! and all ports open , even port 25, though normally an email server on comcast cable would be ignored by recipient servers.

UNLIMITED for about 100 bucks a month, just buy your own cable modem like a SB6190 modem

Totally... It's a man-in-the-middle.

I wouldn't care if 70% of the net went through CF. It is just another honeypot / slave plantation for the lazy, those in over their heads, those without funding to do this or that tech wizbang.

Slaves need to revolt.

Yeah, could be an outage. Amazon is comfortable saying "you broke our Terms of Service" (i.e. "we don't like you"). So in the absence of such an email, I'm inclined to believe this is technical issues.

I didn't know Gab was using Cloudflare, but there it is: https://intodns.com/gab.com

edit: https://tv.gab.com/ works and so does https://dissenter.com/ . Might not be a Cloudflare issue, might just be regular ol' maintenance or outage. Cloudflare had a large outage last night that impacted most North American customers from what I understand so it's not like they're prone to breaking.

This is more about charging higher prices to selected markets than increasing availability. Build products and sell them for what the market will bear. Stupid restrictions like region locking only make consumers bitter.

I've got a friend waiting on me to build a gaming PC for him for the past two months. Graphics cards are running 2-5x the prices they were running in late October. Ironically, the prices are still going higher. What was $180 in October became $450 in January. Now the same card is running in the $650 range. That is assuming I'm willing to deal with a sketchy third party seller. I'm sure there are many other people also putting off purchases because of the insane pricing. This is also likely cutting into the rest of the market (cases, power supplies, software, retailers, etc).

Allegedly the same problems with video card production are impacting automotive production as well. Globalism really is starting to look like third world for the entire world. We can't keep power or water on. We can't make computer components. All because of some flu that mainly affects old people in assisted living facilities.

Good for you!

Alternatives to Cloudflare DDoS protection:

BitMitigate (one time banned a domain, but bans far less than CloudFlare)
Digital ocean
Imperva Incapsula
Dynu Dynamic DNS
ClouDNS.net
Neustar SiteProtect
JavaPipe
ArvanCloud
CloudLayar

Cloudflare censor bans sites with no warning, (23 hours sometimes).

Cloudflare also demands no private jevascript cryptography of payloads, and all traffic must be in clear and use an evil CLOUDFLARE SSL KEY on your behalf!!

Its true! NOt one actual private person to person message was ever sent on voat.co in history, because voat.co used Cloudflare and thus, ceded all actual true https ability and cloudflare stores and copies all traffic for feds, as Cloudflare often revealed.

Thank you for posting this story!

It has immense interest to me, from my ancient career of exploiting these chips and other related chips via renting scanning electron microscopes and peeling off obfuscation grid atop the good parts, and also "runtime glitching" (voltage, temp, amperage, clock jitter) to glean internal keys of production runs.

Not for fraud, but for selling crypto services... I was a white hat and part of a team of guys... or at least I mostly a white hat, but not a gray hat, nor black hat.

We never used Cloudflare for DDOS filtering. Cloudflare was honestly used out of old habit of quick DNS setup and on-the-fly SSL Certs. Habits are hard to break sometimes.

Our current service provider handles the filtering for us.
