Exactly this. I actually just pulled the whole source tree and built
it for FreeBSD this morning.
What I'm really referring to is the community. Especially for things
like forums and docs that need only be read-only. The fixation with
Cloudflare bewilders me. Surely most technically minded people know
it's a mixed blessing that offers as many ills as advantages?
With respects, I don't really want a conversation about the merits and
madness of Cloudflare. Been there and done that. I'm simply pointing
out, in case any Racket community people are here, that small details
like this can have a serious impact on the uptake and enjoyment of
something valuable.
- samth 4y agoFrom the Racket website maintainer side, CloudFlare provides us both with a free CDN as well as free https in front of the S3 buckets that comprise the web site. Unfortunately, S3 and other AWS costs are real and Cloudflare provides a high quality and free service. I will note that we don't host our forums ourselves so those should not be affected.
- nonrandomstring 4y agoAppreciate that you've noted my niggle Sam.
