Maybe I’m just a curmudgeonly old fart but I’m so tired of everyone pretending like the entire internet being MiTM’d by Cloudflare is somehow a good thing. FWI

FWIF if you are looking for a decent alternative take a look at ModSecurity project by OWASP.
- rvnx 1y agoIt’s a good cost vs reward ratio in that specific case. Very little risk if NSA knows your MyNoise history. And for emails and very confidential content they have partnerships with Apple, Google, Meta, etc
- beeflet 1y agoThink bigger. Very little risk if the NSA knows your MyNoise history, very great risk if the government knows all of your history. SSL added and removed here :)
- brookst 1y agoOne good sign that your viewpoint may not be well thought through is if you find yourself claiming that any contrary opinions could only be pretense.
- VladVladikoff 1y agoYeah. You’re right. I should have spent the time to write out my thoughts more succinctly. I appreciate your comment. It’s what I really enjoy about discourse on hackernews. My main problem with it is that we put all websites behind a single point of failure. One with large corporate interests. It is the antithesis of the free and open web. Also I dislike it from a technical standpoint. It makes response times from the server much worse. And I spend a lot of time improving the performance of my sites, to throw that all away because I’m afraid of hackers seems like the wrong solution to me personally.
