Cloudflare Joins CAI and Enables Content Credentials for 20% of the Internet

...if you use R2 to store your images.

Fuck cloudflare and their shitty centralised web, past present and future.

Long live the free and open internet!

[tabular@lemmy.world]

what to use instead of cloudflare?

[db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Just host your own reverse proxy. It's not hard

[tabular@lemmy.world]

They say it's not hard when you know how. I don't know how and even when I think I do it's usually still difficult

Currently using no-ip so friends can use a web address for game sever or get some files, instead of my every changing IP, for free.

Really? For DDOS and privacy protection?

I know Cloudflare is indeed a growing issue. But I think it’s growing because it’s really difficult to self host/provide some of their services.

[laintrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

No-ip's DDNS is relatively wonderful.

Scammy in a sort of eastern european sleazy used car dealership way, I had to talk to their support once about a double charge and it felt like Roman from GTA IV was on the other side.

[laintrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Which ones? What for?

Really the only service of such extreme convenience I can't help but use it is cloudflare tunnels for quickly selfhosting and their cheap asf domain registrar.

Not sure what else you need.

[paraphrand@lemmy.world]

porkbun is an alternative to the cheap registrar.

But I thought Cloudflare had great DDOS protection. And the comment I replied to says to just do it yourself.

Why did you skip over that?

[db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Most providers like hetzner and contabo already provide ddos protection. No everyone needs ddos protection anyway and the privacy issue its not certain with cloudflare either normal would I argue with the costs are worth it.

[sirboozebum@lemmy.world]

I do both.

I have Cloudflare pointing to my reverse proxy.

Total pain to set up and had to hunt through a bunch of forums to get it to work.
