If you're not running your waifu on a local machine she's just a digital prostitute.

My front-line guess is "Erotic Role Play" but I am not familiar with character.ai
schrieb am 13. Juni 2025, 02:41 zuletzt editiert von toynbee@lemmy.worldI had guessed the nature of the site and "roleplay." It is a tad silly on my part to not have guessed "erotic"; thanks for getting me there (and not in an erotic way).
edit: Had left out the word "there."

Cloudflare is a cancer

It blocks anyone not using one of its preferred browsers, among other things. It's become the gatekeeper for a large fraction of the Internet.

Hmm.
I'm not familiar with the constraint.
I assume that the way that this works is that I host content at www.foo.com and they have their nameserver resolve www.foo.com to different IPs based on the geolocation of the browsing user's IP.
Is it possible to convert www.foo.com to a CNAME that can be redirected away from their nameservers? Like, I make www.foo.com be a CNAME directed at www.foo-cloudflare-cdn.com. They own www.foo-cloudflare-cdn.com, they serve A or AAA queries there on their nameservers. But if I want fallback, I update the CNAME to point at www.foo-backup-cdn.com, which is served by a different CDN.
Are there technical barriers to that, do you know?
schrieb am 13. Juni 2025, 04:21 zuletzt editiert vonThe way CDNs and virtual hosts work in general is to read the
hostfield in the HTTP header, otherwise unless you dedicate an IP for each domain / "web site" there would be no way to know what to serve.The issue is if you put the CNAME of foo
www.foo-cloudflare-cdn.com.then it will just resolve to whatever the A/AAAA record is for that, and send the host ofwww.foo.com– which they will only service if that domain is hosted with their nameservers (they run automated checks to make sure you're actually doing so).
So there isn't really an easy way to just give cloudflare some subdomain, unless you pay them $$,$$$+ for the privilege.Valve actually does that, ironically enough, for the steam community web assets they use Fastly, Akamai, and CloudFront, all on subdomains of course

I've migrated about half of my services off of cloudflare DNS proxy. Guess which half still worked this afternoon. (Self hosting pangolin with CrowdSec as replacement). I wasn't even using the cloudflare tunnel. Just their proxy for some bot mitigation.
schrieb am 13. Juni 2025, 04:26 zuletzt editiert von sidewayshighways@lemmy.worldbeen really enjoying pangolin so far! i got scared and ended up not installing crowdsec.
am i missing out? how hard would that be to add after the fact?

It's a joke. I don't think there's really a website called Frank's Dildo Emporium. But if there is, lmk.

Another reason to self host

The whole internet is down. Unless you self host

I’m pretty sure cloudflare has better uptime than you

Still a very important service for many people who are alone.

I remember the day I went why are we all selfhosting and still relying on a site like Cloudflare?.
I'm glad I agreed with me on it.
