A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Welcome to 2025

Though I'm not a big fan of centralization, I use cloudflare. Their DDoS protection is unmatched, they have scraping protection, and just in case they decide to screw their users over, switching to another service is trivial.
I can stop drinking whenever I want.
If switching is trivial, why not do it now?
Their DDoS protection is unmatched
Is it? Try switching and see how often you are DDoSed.
I mean I don't really have a choice because i don't see a better way to put my home server on a url because I live in a dorm and can't port forward or get a static ip
If you don't have a static IP, how did you get a domain?
That's what they're saying. They're dependent on cloudflare who offer a DNS service that routes traffic to one of their static ips, down a tunnel initiated by the server without an IP address.
cloudflare ddos protection is cetralization?
About 20% of global traffic is routed through Cloudflare so unfortunately Cloudflare is very much a massive case of centralization.
A Cloudflare outage would affect a huge number of websites and services and they have some degree of control over the way you host your and use their services.
Yeah, did people forget the last big Cloudflare outage already? A good chunk of all big services went down simultaneously. Discord, Amazon, Twitter and even the PS and Xbox consoles networks lmao.
Yes, use a competitor at least.
I deadass got a cloudflare error after reopening this post:
the people on selfhost would be very upset if they could read this.
Don't forget your SSL certificate to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. 🤪
Don't forget to have the SSL certificate supplied and managed by Cloudflare, of course 🤫
mTLS would solve your entire man in the middle problems.
moms 🙄
I use Cloudflare Turnstile because hosting without it is just begging for bots to join my service.
