   Oh, #Cloudflare was having issues and brought a lot of websites down with it? That's not great.

   But thankfully it's not that hard to roll out your own "DDoS protection" (or caching; just call it caching) setup. Here, you can even use our configs: https://git.occrp.org/libre/fasada

   Yes, we use them in production, serving sometimes hundreds of thousands views per day.

   Patches welcome. #SysAdmin

     @aeveltstra @selea @telent https://write.lain.haus/thufie/dont-trust-cloudflare (this section: "The fundamental issue with CloudFlare and similar services" and further).

     tl;dr CloudFlare already handles about 10%(!) of global web traffic. That means they became the gatekeeper. And gatekeepers are a dangerous thing.

     Basically agreeing with... CloudFlare's CEO here:
     https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/

     It's dangerous to have one entity have so much power.
