Wow the people in this thread are a huge bummer. This is much cooler and I doubt this is a real safety issue. You can already sign up for a free cloudflare account and deploy it for free, on your own, on a free workers.dev domain. The friction removal here isn't going to meaningfully change the security / amount of malicious content.

- goshx 4mo agoYou must be new here :)
- swingandamiss 4mo agoNo, I just created a new alt account. I have a year 1 account as my main.
- j-bos 4mo agothat's new :)
- r3trohack3r 4mo agoI think maybe GP means they have an account that was created in the first year of the site, not a 1 year old account
- godelski 4mo agoEven you're relatively new. There definitely was a shift as AI took off Also, they said "year 1" not "1 year old"
- rob 4mo agoSure ya do buddy, me too.
- lII1lIlI11ll 4mo agoWhy do you feel like you need to post this from an alt account? Because you know such snarks tend to be downvoted and you want to preserve your precious "karma" points? So who is behaving like this is reddit?
- swingandamiss 4mo agoBecause my main account is tied to my real identity in the username so I wanted to shift away from that.
- jnaina 4mo agowait till anyone remotely mentions apple or apple products. the neckbeards on their thinkpads will come in droves to shit on cupertino's best.
- bartvk 4mo agoIt's not Apple in general. If they release a new Mac Mini, it's fine. The thread when the Neo was released, was outright jubilant. It's whenever macOS is mentioned, it devolves in extreme negativity. I always, always avoid those.
- phoghed 4mo agoBrother it’s always been like this. Just check n-gate.com (tragic loss btw, rip)
- ddtaylor 4mo agoHi! I have been following n-gate.com a small bit over the years, because I found it very interesting and it was a rabbit hole I wanted to go down. I actually setup "xor-gate" for a while, which was trying to be a similar thing co-authored by a friend, but it was too time consuming and we gave up. Did the author pass? I'm not trying to be crass, but I don't know the details.
- TheTaytay 4mo agoAgreed. This is the same crowd that is mad about free tiers going away on other dev-friendly hosting services…
- superjose 4mo agoAgreed I think this is pretty solid especially since you get all the Cloudflare benefits like CDN from the get-go.
- combyn8tor 4mo agoWell according to the people in this thread it was previously impossible for bad actors to host a website, and CloudFlare has now given them this unique ability.
- judge2020 4mo agoI really hope/imagine this project specifically has a LLM of some kind doing real-time analysis on the uploaded files for malware from the get-go. How good that is could be is anyone's guess (and chances are there would be blind spots / evasion techniques).
- femboyvtuber 4mo ago[dead]
- 0xcafefood 4mo agoWhy would Cloudflare do that? They shouldn't help bad actors.
- ComplexSystems 4mo agoWho, exactly, should help people host a website?
- simultsop 4mo agoBest case: themselves. Since we are not there yet, reliable services.
- ForHackernews 4mo agoSame folks who are very concerned AI will give malicious actors the ability to produce text containing falsehoods.

- arcatech 4mo agoWhen you see a group of people being critical, you can either see it as a “bummer”, or you can see it as people critically thinking about a thing. Is it really more useful to have everyone expressing how much they like something instead of identifying problems? Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why?
- dryarzeg 4mo ago> Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why? Probably (I'm just assuming) because that person observes negative/cautious/"I don't like this because X and Y and also Z"/etc sentiment too much and feels like people are only quick to notice issues while forgetting about good sides. It's only an assumption, though.

- ddtaylor 4mo agoI think the HN rule for "curmudgeonly" applies. > Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I think HN should be a place where I am excited to see what others have to add. When I see a post I am excited to see what takes and spins others have on it. I do want real criticism and a lively debate about important things, but there has to be a balance. I want to see other comments that seem like they genuinely want to help steer something or build people up. Sometimes I get the impression that's not happening on HN.

- stackghost 4mo agoThere needs to be another rule against being a techno-sycophant.
- adithyassekhar 4mo agoI think they are all bots or threatened to see their little hobby now being accessible, classic gatekeeping.
- esjeon 4mo agoCorporations acting as if naive is a bit of problem in reality. For one thing, CF is probably the largest entity serving pirated content internationally while hiding the identities of actual perpetrators for privacy. Same here: CF is basically giving malicious actors an ability to ship contents/data publicly while laundering the legal responsibility of those actors. Now tell me what is cool
- x-complexity 4mo ago> Now tell me what is cool Not immediately being a copyright bootlicker. The fact that you went straight to "BuT pIrAtEs" already shows who you actually care: Corpos, not people.
- esjeon 4mo agoA dirty secret is that piracy is being abused by criminal organizations[1]. When people unknowingly access such sites to see contents for free, it generate ad revenue for those organizations, which can fund other crimes.

- venzaspa 4mo agoBroadly speaking any organisation facilitating piracy is implicitly a criminal one. Piracy is a pretty large field though and the economics of say a streaming site are going to be very different from running a torrent tracker. The fact you can use a torrent tracker without even visiting the site (Radarr/Sonarr etc) tells me that running a tracker site, probably isn't very lucrative.
- enoint 4mo agoAre you talking about: > The suspects subscribed to 40 Korean cable TV service accounts, re-broadcasting content to Indonesia and offering video-on-demand (VOD) services through customized TV boxes, applications, and web browsers.
- pegasus 4mo agoYou're encountering the "contrarian dynamic" which dang described in this post (which also explains why your own anti-contrarian comment reached the top) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24215601 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24215601
- rolfus 4mo agoThanks for linking that comment! I wasn't familiar with the term, but it perfectly describes the pattern that manifests in every single HN thread about certain topics. The Grok announcement thread that is on the main page today is another perfect example.

- camillomiller 4mo agoOh poor you, bummed by people WHO ACTUALLY care about the web.
- thenthenthen 4mo agoAfter my hoster started asking me for 700€ for a year of hosting a static website of like 100Mb i moved to CF worker and github. I would selfhost but thats not allowed without license
