Cloudflare
Error
- chasing0entropy 11mo agoAI scrapes internet from millions of IPs worldwide proving an orchestrated, intelligent, botnet effectually becoming a large percentage of total internet traffic overnight. Internet responds by retreating to behind a single cloud provider who can mysteriously keep ai at bay... Same provider network is probably responsible for the near instantaneous distribution of AI traffic to begin with. Internet's last bastion of hope is attacked, rather quickly, and half of the internet is scrambling to remember how to administer DNS (The other half never knew).
- agos 11mo agoCloudflare was already a thing before AI scrapers
- immibis 11mo agoAnd they were strongly suspected to DDoS their prospective customers, so they would suddenly have a need to buy DDoS protection.
- steelbrain 11mo agoFirst I’m hearing of it, got a source?
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoThat is a wild claim, got some evidence?
- gruez 11mo agoHow does this work given there are many competing DDoS protection providers like Akamai, Azure, or AWS?
- amalcon 11mo agoThe claim I think you're referring to is in two parts: 1) They were willing to sell DDoS protection to DDoS services 2) This decision was made specifically because the existence of DDoS services increased the value of their product This was always a weird claim, because the first part is 100% true -- while the second part was always unfounded speculation. The conclusion is thus most likely false. They just didn't want to incorporate that sort of thing into their ToS or vet their customers in that way, for various understandable reasons.

- nullbyte808 11mo agowhat is this "AI" your referring to?
- nullbyte808 11mo agoBonjour!
- VladVladikoff 11mo agoCloudflare yet again making the internet a shittier place. I will never understand why so many people willingly allow their website to be MiTM’d by this garbage company.
- delichon 11mo agoThen I suppose you know a better alternative when your site is being effectively DDOSed by a ridiculously high volume of scrapers. Please share.
- codingminds 11mo agoE.g. https://www.fastly.com/ https://www.fastly.com/ But Cloudflare has the best marketing of all of them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- ramon156 11mo agoiirc isn't steam also on fastly? I vaguely remember their stack to either include fastly or they're using fastify. Names...
- hofrogs 11mo agoI think Steam uses akamai, at least for user-generated content
- codingminds 11mo agoSeems to be correct store.steampowered.com. 30 IN A 184.31.101.220 NetRange: 184.24.0.0 - 184.31.255.255 CIDR: 184.24.0.0/13 NetName: AKAMAI
- chasing0entropy 11mo agoThere are so many CDNs, they have existed since the internet was just for porn. The problem is they are not as easy to use for today's novice webdev with zero knowledge of how to administer or even research infrastructure beyond the stack specs.
- deaux 11mo agoLA here.
- N19PEDL2 11mo agoHow is this related with the Cloudflare outage? The bug was present in GoSign Desktop <= 2.4.0, so it seems that it was introduced long time ago.
