   @SuperDicq @waifu Lichess is the typical "FOSS" site - on their website they link to lots of proprietary software - they want you to run proprietary google docs JavaScript as well as proprietary pateron JavaScript.
   
   Ah yes, they develop on github too.
   
   Lots more proprietary software too; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lichess-org/lila/refs/heads/master/COPYING.md;
   Lichess as deployed on https://lichess.org/ also uses these external services:
   
   - [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/) to serve static assets, DNS lookups for email validation
   - [twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/) for featured livestreams
   - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com) for featured livestreams and the [Video library](https://lichess.org/video)
   - [stripe](https://stripe.com/) and [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com) for [Patron donations](https://lichess.org/patron)
   - [openexchangerates.org](https://openexchangerates.org/) for donations in local currencies
   - [Spreadshirt](https://lichess.myspreadshop.net/) for the [Swag store](https://lichess.org/swag)
   - [mailcheck.p.rapidapi.com](https://rapidapi.com/Top-Rated/api/e-mail-check-invalid-or-disposable-domain)
   - [Amazon SES](https://aws.amazon.com/ses/) for transactional email
   - [check.torproject.org](https://check.torproject.org/torbulkexitlist) for a list or Tor exit nodes
   - [detectlanguage.com](https://detectlanguage.com/)
   - [Google Cloud Messaging](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/) for mobile notifications
   - [hCaptcha](https://hcaptcha.com)
   - [PeerJS](https://peerjs.com/) for voice chat
   - [crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/lichess) for localization
   
   As you can see, Lichess is proprietary.
   
   Maybe it'll be possible to modify the lichess server software and also remove the proprietary chess pieces to get a free version, but the configuration required to host seems so convoluted it'll probably be faster to write your own online chess engine from scratch and use GNU Xboard; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lichess-org/lila/master/public/images/architecture.png

   Checking all DNS records at once through `any` parameter is fun.

   See `dig any cloudflare.com` is fun.

   > If it turns out that there are no authorities at work
   there most definitely aren't, and i heavily doubt info was given out to the complainer
   cloudflare just forwarded the abuse mail they got to the abuse-contact for the relevant IP adress (ie hetzner)
   you can see the cloudflare mail quoted at the bottom of the hetzner mail, and the hetzner mail starts with "we received a complaint from cloudflare.com"
