I've always said. It's not good that cloudfare (or any single entity) "owns" half the internet.
For my self hosted stuff I refuse to use their services. I prefer to invest a little more time securing it from my side instead of giving them more control over internet.
Just when cloudflare were starting to be the good guys by making AI crawlers pay...
I never trust that move. I'm fairly sure that they only do that so they can crawl themselves and sell the data.
Oh, of course.
But that'll help make AI more expensive to dev and lighten the load on smaller sites that are crumbling under the AI load.
I hope cloudflare's competition makes that available too to make sure cloudflare doesn't have all the data and the leverage that goes with it.
This will cause piracy and AI companies to form alliances.
Time for pirate sites to use something other than cloudflare?
I2P
It looks like we are going that way. Frankly it’s for the best. Tor has become a risk and that’s just not acceptable under this regime.
I agree that it is for the best. But Tor is not and never was made with torrenting in mind while I2P is. Also torrenting Hurst the tor network.
That'll show those pesky pirates.
Spoiler
It won't.
1337x.to was blocked for me today! Even though it doesn’t stream content. Feels like an “enshittification pincer” is happening right now.
Now would be a good time to remind everyone about Pi-Hole.
Whack a mole.
