Last time I tried setting NS to both cloudflare and digital ocean in my domain registry, cloudflare sent me an email saying the configuration is invalid and asked me to revert. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, function parameter is a good suggestion. I'm not too sure what you mean by "randomize", randomly go to a method? That might be good for learning or amusement, not so much for reference. Randomizing parameters might be tr

If it's just because of different definitions of censorship, I would gladly take the downvotes. After all, people disagree on definitions and HN allows downvotes for disagreeing. In fact I am happy that we found the root cause of our d

Right. I didn't see that you could interpret it that way. Apologies for not stating that assumption.

I would agree with you that such techniques could be used, and in fact I suspect they are used. However, I wouldn't say they strictly qualifies as censorship, because you can still get the information if you know where to look at (go t

I thought so too, but then I googled "3d print drugs" and "3d print explosives". I think google doesn't censor results based on location? So you should see the same results. Edit: To save your time and avoid polluti
