Why not you? Just don't use CF. The more people stay away from CF, the better.

- adsjhdashkj 6y agoI feel like for a lot of sites CF & CDNs are the only way to survive Reddit/HN/etc - do you disagree? I definitely agree in concept with you, but then i think back to how frequently script kiddies took down sites ~10 years ago, or w/e. I feel like what has changes is the massive CDNs in front of so many sites. So while i do want a better solution, i'm not sure what it looks like. Thoughts?
- mmahemoff 6y agoSome kind of decentralized CDN in theory.
- parliament32 6y agoDoes it really matter? If you're small, who cares if you go down for half an hour? What, you'll make $0.02 this hour instead of $0.05? If you're big, you can afford your own infrastructure. Stick a few servers in a few colos around the world and you'll have better uptime than CF and friends anyway.
- slenk 6y agoYou're talking thousands of dollars for colo servers vs. free for CF
- account42 6y ago> I feel like for a lot of sites CF & CDNs are the only way to survive Reddit/HN/etc - do you disagree? Reddit/HN/etc will send all users to the same URL. Almost all of those users will come without any pre-existing cookies. Serving the same content to all those users should not be impossible for most sites without CF or a CDN.
