- nexuist 5y agoWhy is it always the free software people who are the most judgemental about what I do with my software and who I trust with my time and money? AWS and Microsoft never gave a shit about what other vendors I'm in bed with. I like your GNU license, I do not like your GNU license people.
- ric2b 5y agoThe free software people care about your privacy, AWS and Microsoft don't. They're not forcing you to do anything, just giving you advice.
- downrightmike 5y agoThe crazy thing the OSS people have been right about the invasion of privacy and money grab of the modern internet.
- api 5y agoHacker News hasn't been very "hacker" in a long time. Still a decent place for tech news.

- iso1210 5y agoMost people here work for BigCorp cartel or aspire to do so
- zitsarethecure 5y agoThat's unfair! Many of us also own stock in them.
- throwaway984393 5y agoI'd take a big pay cut to work for a co-op, green energy focused or other social/ecological good company. I just don't wanna work for a startup.
- sneak 5y agoThis configured system, unlike the rest of the way CloudFlare works with http, is actually end to end encrypted.
- password4321 5y agoMaybe an improvement: s/http/https/ -or- s/http/SSL/ since http is technically often referring to unencrypted port 80 transport.
- est 5y agothe cf tunnel key was separate than your sshd key, there is no leak here. It's just a way of port forwarding upon a CDN network.
- qbasic_forever 5y agoWhat are you giving Cloudflare here? You're running a tunnel daemon and piping a network process to it. There's no exchange of for example your private SSH keys. If anything this is letting people more easily self host their own version of 'BigCorp cartel' apps like mail, code hosting, etc.
- pmarreck 5y agoSure. Just make IPv6 work everywhere flawlessly, and then all of our devices can easily access all of our other devices, we can use whatever DNS scheme we want to return the IPv6 addresses to those devices, and then we won't need to punch through NAT firewalls and routers to reflect off corp-owned servers just to access machines trapped behind NAT firewalls! What could possibly go wrong?
