Good thing cloudflare is only used on half of all websites, otherwise this would be a major outage! Let's keep centralizing our services though!
Yeah everyone I know, including myself, got this message today.
Its such a bad idea to centralize the web like this. But its anyway turning into Ai generated shit isnt it, probably will be easier to stop using it once its all AI.
I have this hope, that with all the AI garbage and shit social media algorithms, that there will be some kind of rebirth, where a new type of internet will look somewhat more like it did in the late 90s and early 2000s. Maybe through tor or something similar. It will be niche again, for techies and geeks and smart funny creative people. The normies can stick to Twitter and TikTok and Netflix and whatever corporate garbage. Maybe tor and the fediverse will play roles in this rebirth. Or maybe I’m just being too optimistic.
I mean I feel like the fediverse is already unappealing to the “normies” so we kind of have that already to some extent
Got some lovely messages from my home monitoring :)
You using them instead of Google for DNS?
Cloudflare as DNS and proxy.
But also some other I monitor for connection issues.
collapsed inline media
Edit:
Literally got spammed so much by the telegram monitoring that I muted it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah and what was that “security” kernel module update from Cockblock that bricked like half of the Windows systems on earth like a year ago or something? Single points of failure. Smart.
Crowdstrike. I don't think that fits the "single point of failure" part.
Well if half of the windows boxes are running it, and they push an update without stages, and that breaks everything, I’d say that fits.
