I might be missing something but the document seems to be comparing Cloudflare to the great firewall of China and calling them criminal because of things they could potentially do?
They’re all uppity that to use cloudflare proxy they have to terminate the ssl connection there. So technically cloudflare can sniff all the traffic. But that’s kind of the point of WAFs and Reverse Proxies.
I would argue that the sheer amount of data throughput that Cloudflare has, you’d have to really be on a list to be monitored… and they certainly cannot just log all data willy nilly.
I suppose this one is quite simple. How can they cache, if they don't MitM the connection? I don't think it would be technically possible. If you want the cache/CDN you just need to use a company you trust. If you don't trust them then you don't get the cache/CDN.
Correct. But people are viewing the DDOS protection, Cache, WAF, etc… functions as evidence that Cloudflare is obviously malicious and storing 100% of all data traversing them.
I’ve seen no evidence of that yet, and will certainly discontinue use of them if they show such tendencies. Until then, I will absolutely leverage their platform for my use as a paying customer.
I do understand the fear with their free platform though… They’ve gotta make money somehow, and I feel there’s probably a fear that is data collection.
The reason there are so many IPAs on the market is because they have so many ways to create different flavors with the hop varieties. And yes you can have, for example, two pilsners that have different flavors but they likely won’t have such an insane difference in flavor as a strong, bitter double IPA and a citrusy, refreshing session IPA.
Sounds like you haven’t really taken the time to try some different ones and get a feel for what you might like. Best way to do it is to go to a local brewery if theres one near you and order a flight so you can get like 6 samples.
Went to a local brew pub and they were sold out of anything BUT IPAs. There were only 3 non-IPAs and 8 or 9 IPAs. So I wondered, has the market decided in favor of IPAs?
But then, they sold out of everything else?
So where are we in relation to ‘peak IPA’, before or after the peak?
Hmm I’d say the craft beer market is pretty heavily dominated by IPAs right now, and that could either be because they’re trendy or in high demand. I feel like theres been a heavy IPA craze for a long while now, but it’s definitely been getting bigger and bigger as the craft beer scene has been exploding all over.
Could we be past the peak? Perhaps, but i don’t think so. I personally find IPAs to be the most interesting brews because the flavor balances can be so delicate, which could also be the sentiment with other brewers.
Though i do get not ALWAYS wanting an IPA, especially when you’re trying to knock back a few (or more lol)
Unfortunately, if you have properly set up Firefox, i.e with arkenfox user.js or by using Librewolf, it doesn’t work :/ It still blocks adds without issues, but it’s not visiting them.
Or if you’re running PiHole - same issue. Is there a way how to make PiHole actually go though all those clicks? I guess it would be hard to figure out what’s an ad and what’s telemetry.
On the other hand I got a different protocol (& implementation up and running) that can be used right away. It’s like IPFS but easy to “install” (a double click and a port forward is all that’s needed), you are also in control of your data and of course you can change the data without changing the link.
Don’t get me wrong, IPFS paved the road. But today we have better ways to do things.
Close, but with the added possibility to change the data (like a website/blog/chat) and not only have static data.
So on this protocol, you can have a website with a link to my website, who has a link to yours. Maybe that doesn’t sound crazy cool :-) but filecoin, IPFS etc just does not have that functionality (with them you have a key/link, and it is locked to 1 data. Fix a typo in your text and you have to redistribute a new key/link on the old web or similar, it’s totally static), and for me it’s a must if you want to provide a functioning “new web”.
Yes i know but just using NextDNS is way more convenient and less expensive (especially when a raspberry pi computers are 100€ and above in your area…)
I just use a DigitalOcean VPS. $6+tax a month, plus some other self-hosted services. Don't have to worry about being connected to home or buying a Pi. Still may be more expensive, but not by much (only $4-$6 more expensive depending on how much you use the internet), but this also allows you to setup your own DNS if you want as well.
Edge on (android, not sure about iOS) mobile has “Adblock Plus” built in that can be enabled. Sure, I’d rather UBlock Origin like on my pc but when/if that stops working on Edge desktop, I wonder if they’d add a similar built in thing to desktop…
It’s better than Chrome (which has no ad-blocker at all) but I find it doesn’t block those insane pop-ups like uBlock on Firefox do. Kinda wish Microsoft would just bring their Add-on store on mobile Edge.
100%? Impossible. But they can effectively ban it.
Pass a law that makes any US company, or company doing business in the US, not allowed to host E2EE-enabled apps. This now bans them from the App Store and Play Store. 99% of users won't find or choose to side-load for android users. Then they can make E2EE actually illegal to distribute in the US. They'll almost never bother going after individuals, but this effectively makes hosting a US-based website unable to distribute E2EE programs. So people will need to use foreign sites. Which the US can force ISPs to block via a whack-a-mole on individual sites.
This isn't very likely, but hell Congress was decently close to banning TikTok for no real reason so who knows?
