I wish. Not only do they sometimes randomly fail, Google search console will not tell your why. I've got a site with a sitemap which passes in every validator I could find, yet Google doesn't read it and GSC just reports "err

Someone's eager to downvote this, but it's been known for a long time and still happens in obvious ways. First page of results for booter services contains https://zeusstress.com/ which is hosted by Cloudflare (ye

Lots of people will run http over the tunnel rather than https, so that actually comes out cheaper for CF overall because they don't have to start new TLS sessions.

This is not how things work and no company providing online services for money would rate limit like that. This would do nothing for real world DDoS. You're in "not even wrong" territory. And for large services implementing a

It's also a great protection racket. They host many DDoS provider sites and protect them from law enforcement.

Unfortunately that one's on the operators. I can complain for days about CF, but nobody is forcing the companies to default to giving everyone a managed challenge page. Some do, because either they don't care or don't realise

> We sent a ticket that activating some of their services instantly caused bad bots to scan our site You assigned a new https certificate around that time, didn't you? Those are public now and will cause an immediate scan.

It's quite standard these days. If you're already with Akamai then you're not an attractive target though, so maybe that's why you haven't seen many of those? The DDoS services are really cheap today and it's p

It depends on what you're trying to serve, but it's used to either save you money or as an insurance (or both). You don't need a CDN overall. But if you grow large enough, at some point you'll run into one of these three

I'm not sure one can fail this test. You can follow "wolf is not real", you can follow "wolf will eat the goat", or you can say the task is ambiguous. I could easily defend any of those.

Save your time - this is not real. The requirements are impossible and there are many other issues with the post.

by viraptor 1mo ago
Ok, I'm really curious. Is this just a troll? Phishing attempt for information about specific groups? Then again, the requirements would filter out serious responders, so maybe just spam? The post/project itself is an obvious sca

I can already tell you - my email has always been out there. Over the last 2+ decades, I received 0 patches and 1 bug report across everything I released. And I really don't want to deal with a patch attachment. So no, I wouldn't

I really want to, as soon as someone actually implements auth federation in a large system. Forgejo is making some steps, but... It's hard to self-host without making contributions really annoying. For self hosting, you're either

No, let's not do this. This is a weird perversion of how open internet should work. Too much control and management layers on the way. This honestly feels like some corp's fake-grassroot campaign. (Inviting donations and looking f
