Setup Cloudflare, which is free and easy to use. Or, just post an Internet Archive wayback machine copy of your post would be good enough.
- askmike 7y agoGiven that he: > I wrote a blog post on this recently, using only open-source tools that don't come from big corps. I doubt he wants to use CloudFlare ;)
- Spivak 7y agoPhilosophically is using CloudFlare or whatever CDN any worse that using the normal internet infrastructure in terms of software freedom?
- askmike 7y agoDefinitely, all traffic is readable by CloudFlare. Whereas if you have your own SSL certs everything going through the "normal internet infrastructure" is encrypted (in theory your webhost is able to get to it, but definitely not as easily - and this is only an issue if you rent a server). On top of that there are many arguments against CloudFlare when it comes to an open and decentralized internet. EDIT: didn't read the Philosophically in your comment. CloudFlare does many things against an open internet, for a long time they blocked (or required excessive captchas) for all TOR users.
