It seems the American people, in one voice stood up and said, “wait, the 14th amendment does what now?”

Unscheduled nationwide civics lesson brought down the US Congress’ page on the 14th Amendment 😲😝

kkarhan,

@davidaugust also a .gov site using #ClownFlare is just bad.

kkarhan,

@angiebaby @davidaugust #ClownFlare aka. #CloudFlare are just #ValueRemoving #rentseekers and part of the Problem, not solution!

Their entire business model should not exist to begin with!!!

@ari THIS IS CURSED!

#ClownFlare doesn't deserve the #honor!

Looks like CaliDog's certstream service has been down for a week or more - Cloudflare is throwing the "back end is down" 521. Anyone aware of status?

#calidog #certstream

kkarhan,

@tychotithonus #ClownFlare is the problem...

People who use their services are almost always #TechIlliterates...

kkarhan,

@tychotithonus It's just the general observation shared by professionals...

But don't take my word for it...

Listen to those that need stellar #ITsec...

The Blender software is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics application. However, their servers have been under a DDoS attack since last weekend, which has affected their online availability. This is why I use Cloudflare to stay online. Some people engage in malicious activities like DDoS attacks against non-profit organizations for no apparent reason. I hope they come back online soon.

kkarhan,

@fuchsiii @nixCraft personally, I think paying #ClownFlare is like paying mafia racketeers:

Their business model should not exist to begin with!

Cuz every halfassed hoster offers #DDoS protection.
I'll gladly help @Blender / @blender to migrate to such a hoster...

Cuz #CloudFlare is just bad - period.

People creating bots to hammer FrogFind... this is why we can't have nice things.

Need to come up with some bot protections I guess 😭

kkarhan,

@ActionRetro Consider migrating to some #DDOs-protected #Hosting?

I.e. #Contabo does that transparently without brickibg shit like #ClownFlare...

kkarhan,

@simonzerafa @elosha @ActionRetro @cloudflare #ClownFlare literally blocks @torproject / #Tor users and hosted #KiwiFarms until big customers threatened to yeet them, so nope:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYkFYmqJYvE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4n6zmajfsM

Just go with a solid #Webhoster like #Hetzner or #Contabo and be done with it.

Or even better: Release #FrogFind as #FLOSS so more people can setup such #WebProxy servers...

kkarhan,

@cyberboy AFAICT it works well...

Unlike they don't do assholeism and unlike they seem to not nickel and dime their customers...

raek, (edited ) to security

New-ish Asus routers [CORRECTION: at least two routers bought in Sweden] seem to enable "Yandex.DNS" by default. This forwards all of your DNS lookups to Yandex, a large Russian search engine. I discovered this on my dad's router when he had troubles accessing his bank from his broadband but not on his phone. (Presumably, the bank geoblocked Russian IPs as a protest to the invasion of Ukraine.)

I get that you need to trust someone with your DNS lookups (your ISP, Google, Cloudfare, etc), but I didn't expect the non-ISP option to be the default...

Check your router!

kkarhan,

@raek IMHO the only acceptable default is the as per .

Using - like aka. - is bad.

There's a reason neither of these are on my list.
https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/dns.servers.list.tsv

The only reason is still there is because their Servers are useful for detecting if one is having internet access at all...

Authentication provider 1Password breached. Due to other authentication provider, Octa, breached. THAT IS how fragile is technology. Hand-wave policy report/advice on "supply-chain" security but at the end of the day, random npm package 0wns stuff. https://blog.1password.com/okta-incident/

kkarhan,

@LukaszOlejnik and this is why I hate "#TheCloud" because the rule still is: "There is no #Cloud only #foreign #corporations' #servers!"

Same goes with a lot of #DigitalSnakeoil like #Okta, #ClownFlare or the #Nativirus-#Scareware - #Sams!

Dear #CloudFlare,

If you're going to litter the fucking landscape with your fucking CAPTCHAs, AT LEAST MAKE THE MOTHERFUCKING THINGS WORK YOU STUPID ASSHOLES!

Hugs and kisses,

More like #CloudFail #Amirite?

tell me the infamous "verify you are human" script that's rendering many websites near unusable isn't a fingerprinting attack to re-identify anonymous readers across sites?

has anyone analysed it?

quincy,
@quincy@chaos.social avatar

(besides fucking with the basic function of fetching pages without a complicated javascript setup)

my take: if they won't let you read without "digital frisk and search", they break the web.

that's not how static web resources were supposed to work.

#cloudflare #clownflare is a threat, simply by its ubiquity. period.

kkarhan,

@quincy EXACTLY!

#ClownFlare is at best a #ValueRemoving #RentSeeker and most likely a #ProtectionRacket on the Internet.

The whole #BusinessModel of #CloudFlare should not exist to begin with!!!

@scrottie #Clownflare blocks secure browsers and browser security plugins. Why? Because its customers - privacy invading Web sites - pay it to do so. That’s why the idea that you can trust its 1.1.1.1 or VPN services is laughable. It has no interest in user privacy.

kkarhan,

@brettglass @scrottie Eeyupp.

#cloudflare. gaslighting the web™:

"""
Checking if the site connection is secure

This check is taking longer than expected. Check your Internet connection and refresh the page if the issue persists.

Did you know companies are using machine learning to help identify and protect against bot traffic?
"""

quincy,
@quincy@chaos.social avatar

Evil idea, don't spread:

Imagine #clownflare starting to deliver #ads on their "checking if your connection is secure" page, the captcha being a memory / retention test

That would however be a worthy application for "AI" - it's an arms race they're unlikely to win.

"Performance & security" will then mean "lots of resources wasted".

Wenn man den User-Agent auf Googlebot stellt wird man neuerdings von #Clownflare geblockt
