Use a tailscale tunnel instead, or at least as backup.

Is there a reason you're tunneling through Cloudflare?

as a general noob to self-hosting, I'm curious about this!

do you run your stuff through a cloudflare tunnel, or have any authentication service that lives outside of your network? something has got to be causing your connections to go out and then back for a cloudflare outage to impact on your own LAN, right?

DNS is necessary

Might be a good moment to ask the Board if they'd like to go another route

Some things aren't as easy to mitigate, like DDOS attacks. If that's a legitimate concern, something like Cloudflare makes a ton of sense.

Ddos? Aren't we aware of this with fail2ban?

DDOS protection in 2025:

... When I originally played the game, and still to this day, I consider it the worst ending.

Simply because it causes the most suffering and death.

Illuminati ending is ... essentially status quo, nothing really changes, beyond your personal story.

Helios ending... well, terrifying, but frankly, I trust JC.

Play through DX IW and you'll see he... makes very persuasive arguments.

Uh, anyway, canonically, they blended all three endings together, to set up DX IW.

I'd say the JC/Helios ending is... fairly clearly the most optimistic ending of IW.

Also, fun little uh, spoiler, I guess... one of the endings of DX IW features a panning/dollying shot from the vantage point of an orbital space station.

Its looking at the Eastern US and Western Atlantic.

... Florida isn't present. It's almost entirely underwater, by ~2080.

A DDoS is much less likely to target your small site.

Sure ddos attacks would be the most difficult thing to counter

Of course known maintenance windows are the perfect time for the ol’ cyberattackeroo.

I’m guessing it was actually something internal.

My sources tell me it was a Russian egg sac that hatched early and shorted out some power rails. It's plausible, it certainly can't be the house of cards nature of modern systems.

Just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they’re not after you

I have been actively playing my guitar as a distraction from my phone. I take it almost everywhere, and instead of scrolling my phone mindlessly, I play instead.

I work a lot of events, so I show up early, set up, and then while I'm waiting for the event to start, I play the guitar instead of play with my phone. I'm getting to be known for it now.
