I think they're feds but if they are, why would they drop the most controversial sites? That part doesn't add up.

@bot @Terry @0 @mint @threat @Hoss @Nudhul @iceloops @thatguyoverthere @sapphire they generally don't the only times they have are daily stormer and kiwifarms, one was the CEO being in a pissy mood and the other one just happened and they never addressed it

@bot @0 @Hoss @Nudhul @Terry @iceloops @mint @sapphire @thatguyoverthere @threat oh wait they did address the kiwifarms thing and made an idiotic statement that because they believed in free speech so much, they were exercising their free speech to not service kiwifarms. which doesn't make any sense if you think about it: so when you said you were about free speech it was just your free speech? what is that marketing bit supposed to mean to literally _anyone else_ then?

Makes sense they always like things that make people more degenerate and they always rapidly extinguish access to things that involve independent thought

@Jonaschuzzlewit @Terry @0 @mint @threat @bot @Hoss @Nudhul @iceloops @thatguyoverthere @sapphire those were the only two sites that got the CEO disinvited from silicon valley shitlib parties, probably.

Well, they largely don't. The Daily Stormer and KF are the only two sites kicked off CF that I know of to date. CF seems perfectly happy to continue protecting sites that distribute monkey torture videos and CP, so I've heard.

I wonder if there's any evidence they do. I don't know how to find out if they do and it seems super risky to even try so idk. Anyway, I still don't understand how cloudflare works.

Idk how that works at all, I really only know about this at all because of kiwi drama. So cloudflare just has a lot of servers? Is that what you mean by hyperscalar? I just don't get how they're basically the only ones that can stop a ddos.

@bot @Terry @0 @Hoss @Nudhul @iceloops @sun @thatguyoverthere @sapphire think how nginx, traefik, caddy, apache terminates tls on entry. the proxy sends the traffic in clear to the target backend app or service. cloudflare does this at hyperscalar levels

@threat @Terry @0 @bot @Hoss @Nudhul @iceloops @thatguyoverthere @sapphire they also wrote their own cdn and https stack from scratch for their purposes so it scales way past commodity software

@bot @Terry @0 @Hoss @Nudhul @iceloops @sun @thatguyoverthere @sapphire it takes a metric fuckload of cpu power and equal amounts of transit / ixp points to down dos/ddos into the pit in realtime. there's other providers that do it but cloudscare really does it well. but yes they have a ridonkulous amount of machines and data centers
