Important #indieweb lesson in #modular website setup this morning:
Keep your DNS provider separate from your CDN separate from your webhost, so you can swap out any one of them as necessary, whether for economic or as it were today, reliability reasons. And make sure those services themselves don’t depend on each other.
This is of course regarding the #Cloudflare #outage:

Anyone recommending #CloudFlare for "privacy" should just go work in a coal mine.
-
Here's the thing: if you fear #Tor so much that you want to block access from it, put up a message to its visitors stating that. Don't instead feign an error message or pretend that something with the connection went wrong, which can confuse the user into thinking your site is down ("Unable to connect", "The connection has timed out").
I'm tired of receiving "errors" like these lately only to use a webproxy like Anonymouse.org to quickly unmask the intention of the admin. I mean, what good does lying do in this case? Just fucking say it. Even a shitty #Cloudflare captcha is better than a misleading error message.
-
@mikegerwitz Yeah I've just stopped visiting sites that use MITM as a service. Especially interesting example was https://kryptera.se/ which is a site that I presume is devoted to security and privacy that gives all their traffic to #CloudFlare.
-
@uddaboktips och detta skrivs på kryptera.se som _själva_ använder MITM as a service genom #CloudFlare?! Kan inte besöka deras hemsida utan att injiceras och köra osäker kod från Google pga det då jag surfar genom #Tor.
-
Haha, IT-avdelningen alltså. Jag tror att 90% av alla frågor jag ställer hamnar hos dem. De skickar vidare frågan om #CloudFlare dit pga de inte vet varför man MITM:ar sina besökare och gör det svårare för demokratikämpar att besöka https://visitumea.se

https://www.visitumea.se/ använder #CloudFlare
"Visit #Umeå, make sure you get tracked by some random company"

@drymer That service appears to hate Tor users (they require filling out a Google captcha through #CloudFlare). Not very good behaviour to start with, and also if they _are_ an _ISP_ I don't think they should be relying on CloudFla…
-
@uddaboktips Om de ändå kände till att det var illuminatis samhällsjudar som ägde och styrde #CloudFlare...
-
@uddaboktips Fast hur menar de att de skulle DDoSas när de använder den (utländska, Tor-fientliga, väldigt osvenska) MITM-tjänsten #CloudFlare? Hela syftet med den är ju rate limiting och att helt slippa så krävande attacker (eftersom CF cachar + hanterar allt).
-
Wtf, #CloudFlare? I have to complete a captcha so that I can access the "web PROPERTY"????? You know, before the commercialization itvwas called web RESOURCE! !ILoveFS and would've sent a patch if I could, but I can't since you're …
-
Oh the irony that https://social.umeahackerspace.se/url/53316 is hidden behind a #Cloudflare #Google captcha for us who use Tor regularly.

The Internet #Advertisement Bureau: finally an institution that I can hate as much as the creator of #spam mail and #CloudFlare

Bah, kommer inte åt sidan pga #Cloudflare som blockerar #Tor (en massa javascript-Google-captchas). Men jag kan gissa på vad det är, och frågan är om "allt dumpstrat är veganskt"? Då är jag på!
-
And FUCK #CLOUDFLARE too, with their stupid captchas. I'm not a robot, for chrissakes, I'm on #Tor, you idiots. Let me through already!

@modemjunkie Great! Also, getting rid of #CloudFlare gets rid of Google's #ReCaptcha use (which is a win in its own) ;)
(but loses because #LetsEncrypt uses Google for both the application form and their #SafeBrowsing API on every single further domain validation...)
-
To make MITM impossible? First off, you could stop using #CloudFlare since I have to enter a #captcha every time I visit sites using their MITM-attack-as-a-service (browsing through #Tor). :D
