I've always said. It's not good that cloudfare (or any single entity) "owns" half the internet.
For my self hosted stuff I refuse to use their services. I prefer to invest a little more time securing it from my side instead of giving them more control over internet.
Time for pirate sites to use something other than cloudflare?
That'll show those pesky pirates.
Spoiler
It won't.
Just when cloudflare were starting to be the good guys by making AI crawlers pay...
1337x.to was blocked for me today! Even though it doesn’t stream content. Feels like an “enshittification pincer” is happening right now.
Whack a mole.
I feel like Cloudflare is going to cause piracy and AI companies to form an alliance.
This in itself is an eternal battle.
