The whole internet is down. Unless you self host
Stuff hosted by cloudflare is not the whole internet
-
I’m pretty sure cloudflare has better uptime than you
-
Still a very important service for many people who are alone.
Self host your desperation.

Most people who dislike cloudflare do so for their centralization of the internet, rightly so.
Me? I HATE THE STUPID "VERIFYING YOUR REQUEST" PROMPTS. THEY TAKE WAYYY TOO LONG AND DONT WORK WITH MY USER AGENT SWITCHER. STUPID WEBSITES WITH 3 MONTHLY USERS ARE TURNING ON ADVANCED "DDOS PROTECTION" JUST TO MAKE EVERY FUNCTION OF THEIR APP TAKE 18 MONTHS

Does it need to?
No but then the argument above falls flat, doesn't it?

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.
this “me” character is so smart, aren’t they

Honestly, I didn't even notice.

This is dumb...
If you self host and your power goes out ...
Think about it
-
I use it for DNS and domain hosting, but that's it, none of their proxying stuff.
Why though? You have other options less detrimental to the internet than using and supporting them...

Oh, he's the best. Keeps me out of trouble, that one.

I prefer less uptime at saturday over a random rare outage.

Maybe this guy lives in an area immune to random outages ? Never any power shutdown, internet disconnection or slowness. And his hardware never fails too 🫢

Uh huh, just before a major democracy attacked an evil, evil country. Must be coincidence.

The problem was actually caused by Google
Google Cloud went down hard on Thursday, and took Cloudflare and some of its customers with it.I've been looking everywhere for somebody to explain it. Like, there are dozens of articles outlining exactly what happened. Which I don't need because I was there. I know what happened. I just have been wondering why and finally you have provided a link that actually gives me a reason.
So, thank you kind stranger.

For me it's because it's free, easy to use, and supported by ddclient.

been 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?
Can't speak to how difficult it would be to do after the fact. My guess is just adding in the lines in the docker compose.
As for CrowdSec, it seems to run in the background and I haven't looked at it much. I've triggered it a few times and locked myself out. So I've added my home IP to the whitelist (it's running on a VPS). It also locked out my uptime Kuma so I whitelisted that too. -
still hard. most projects still CDN online instead of packaging into a single application.
it's one of the most infuriating things about self-hosting. so I made my own self-hosted CDN and have rewrite rules that replace most public cdb domains and reroute them to my own local.
it would be great if I could just have something in the middle that would download once and cache locally on request, but it's effort that would be taken from my time afk.
By self-hosted you mean you have hardware geographically distributed? Like... boxes at friend's houses or...?

That's how I read it too at first- and as bad as 'erotic role play' with a LLM chatbot sounds, the other one is so much horribly worse.
Actually RP and by proxy ERP is basically a perfect fit for what LLM are good at.
Good RP is basically nothing but improv and rolling with a functional scenario no matter how weird it gets. Which LLM are fantastic at doing.
You arnt worried about accuracy or memory after all. Just that it can string together coherent English and play pretend with you. Literally the ideal use case for a LLM.

Strangely enough, twitch streams and chat were working fine but everything else was broken, had an empty following list.
