   Can you amend this with 2007? Not new, it’s been mentioned before on HN. Cool story, nonetheless.

   You’re taking about the entry-level consumer notebook model. For entry-level consumers, they don’t need extra storage. So many kids are online-based nowadays. Younger people are routinely using iCloud/One Drive/Google Drive/B

   I believe it’s also a branding and copyright protection tactic to prevent diluting the name.

   Apple is virtually the only consumer computer company that has had positive YoY computer growth every year in the past 20 years. Apple is selling way more iPhones, but the Mac has been gradually and steadily gaining growth.

   No company would ever admit to that! They just come up with excuses as to the reason why.

    I feel like this article is trying to blow up a story that isn’t particularly intriguing.

    I did a poor job of saying, other devs I know have CDNs, I don’t. Am I missing out on something?

    Yeah? Do you have personal experience?

    I don’t use Cloudflare or any CDN right now. I feel like I’m not a likely target for DDoS attacks. I guess my secondary question is, why do many people running pretty small websites use and swear by them? I’m just trying to understand how n

    I don’t think so? It just seems like all the kids are using CDNs these days, and some of my developer friends who have a tendency to over-architect things seem to swear by them.

    You raise some good points. And perhaps I’m overreacting. (Though the thought of my website being beholden to another company and being helpless isn’t satisfying.) I currently don’t run a CDN at all. The server I have is for a side project

    If I use Cloudflare, what can I do — if anything — to avoid disruption when they go down?

    I think it has everything to do with CF and not hosting. I have Linode servers without CF, and everything is great.

    Am I wrong to use this as an excuse to not use Cloudflare?
