#clownflare itself is an eloborate scam and if people want real security they should explore ways to eradicate all #cloudflare from EVERYTHING. https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/24/cloudflare_area_1/

#clownflare is NOT solving any problems other than a staffing problem. If the best your staff can do it outsource to an even worse scenario/handlers, then you're hired a bunch of clowns and they're too lazy to learn. #cloudflare

#cloudflare is to #security what getting COVID-19 is to vaccination. You cannot use the problem to solve that problem. #clownflare

The only proper solution to #clownflare is for #cloudflare not to exist at all. #www #cancer

#clownflare is a company that ought not even exist, let alone be embraced by anyone. #cloudflare is an ATTACK on the #www and the media isn't talking about it... (what's left of the "media")

I want a Web where CDNs are unnecessary. Where different organizations, different website operators, can help each other out by hosting assets for each others' websites, thus spreading the load across many orgs in solidarity, instead of...

The #www has its very own #pandemic and it is known as #clownflare or -- as they call themselves -- #cloudflare (if you use that, please stop; you harm your visitors)

#kiwiirc Web site is down and even #clownflare fails to compensate for it. #cloudflare is wrongly advertised as making sites more robust; it practice it only abuses people who visit those sites.

My very first Python app! It manages Cloudflare WARP CLI settings on Linux

I’ve had “To learn Python” on my bucket list for just on two years now. I finally got going this weekend, and it only took about 3 to 4 days to go through the tutorials, and my app was written in one day. Given it is not 100% done (is any app?) but it is basically all workable apart from the connect button.
In this video I explain why having an “itch to scratch” is an important motivation for learning a new programming language, as well as what the itch was that I was scratching, I show the app, and then give an overview of the code I put together. I hope it shows how easy it is to develop GUI apps in Python (there is a lot more than just the basics I’m using) and that it motivates others to get going with their coding, no matter what the language.

Cloudflare WARP has dramatically sped up my webpage loading on Linux

This sounds a bit like an advert, but I have tried to avoid use of Cloudflare (mainly because of how they intercept end-to-end SSL to speed up hosted services), but like it or not, I have seen a dramatic thing happen. Since moving to a new hosting service, the webpages there which I administer, take 30 to 60 seconds usually to load. I’ve tried different DNS providers as well as using my ExpressVPN and even changing browsers, but even other webpages were sluggish, taking a good few seconds to load.
So I saw this YouTube reviewer speaking about his experience with Cloudflare WARP, and I thought, what have I got to lose by just trying it as it costs nothing. For Manjaro (Arch based) Linux, I installed the warp-cli binary from AUR, and did the three or four steps to activate it. Well just wow, the same long loading pages now jumped up in about 1 second! Yes, WARP is technically a VPN, but I would not recommend it for privacy or security, just speed (if it helps you). I still have my ExpressVPN (and there is ProtonVPN) if you want to be more sure of privacy.

This may also help me try to pinpoint why I was getting such exceptionally bad load times before, as I can see the problem was not distance, nor my ISP link, computer or browser. It is likely some DNS or configuration issue. At least it shows it is not my new hosting that I moved to, or the docker setup I’m using.

#clownflare = #mitm and we should treat #cloudflare as what it really is: a malicious force, a threat, a spy, and #censorship agent on the #www

"Please turn JavaScript on and reload the page. DDoS protection by #Cloudflare " errrr... no, #clownflare ... I'm no DDOS, I'm just a browser that doesn't run JS and I want to see an article, but you stand in the way with your malware. You're a lot more like DDOS than I am.

Piss off, #clownflare ... you obstruct me from accessing pages in a totally legit fashion. No, I DO NOT have #javascript in my client (even if I had it, I'd not run your malicious code) and the site I'm accessing does NOT use JavaScript. #www = #spamfarm #cloudflare

Hahahahahahaha! #theintercept USED to be serious about #privacy ... now it's outsourced to #clownFlare ... what a joke of a site. Yeah, we expose #nsa secrets ... and deliver pages via #cloudflare ... and burn our sources for Omidyar, our Sugar Daddy, who cracked down on #wikileaks

Capital Public Radio News became so aggressive and hostile that it now uses a malicious company, #clownflare , to block connections that refuse to run #proprietarySoftware / #javascript ... #cloudflare is still 'cancer on the Web'...
