Giant shirtless executioners then, I guess.

It's the tolerance paradox. We can tolerate all except the intolerant.

Realistically, this is why you pay for Akamai. You don't get these shenanigans.

How the fuck were they still on a $250 dollar a month plan when they pumped through $2000 a month worth of traffic? That's shady on the companiy's part and Cloudflare shouldn't have allowed it to happen in the first place.

Each party played their part here and did shitty things. Sounds like the tech equivalent of a crackhead arguing about selling stuff to the pawn shop employee.

As an operator, this who thread reads like a bunch of devs who don't understand networking and refuse to learn.

Sure, for smaller applications or small dev teams it doesn't make sense. But for so many other things it does.

The Mozilla Foundation does such important work to ensure standards across the Internet, and keeping the monopolies on their toes. This is another shining example of just that.

Quantifying monopolistic behavior from major tech companies is important. This needs to be documented before changes can happen.

They absolutely should have outlined a traffic limit for the $250 a month plan. That's on Cloudflare for allowing it.

That said, if you make wildly excessive use of that loophole it probably shouldn't surprise you if they do something like this. They called it "trust and safety" because it allows them to do anything they want under the guide of security.

Really, they didn't define their service clearly and wanted to fire them as a customer unless they paid up for what they felt they were owed.

I see 803 forks currently, keep up the good work!

The article makes no mention of why the account was frozen in the first place.

It's not blocked at layer 4 or anything. The website simply geolocates you and denies application access for users geolocated to NC. VPN gets around it fine.

The bigger issue is that plenty of other sites still allow access... So it's effectively punishing the rule followers.

This is a fantastic write up of the problems we are facing in the US automotive market. Broken regulations incentivize large trucks/SUV's, including for electric vehicles.

Smaller vehicles use less energy. Smaller vehicles cause less road wear. Smaller vehicles are fine for most use cases - but I recognize not all use cases. Smaller vehicles cause less damage in collusions to other cars and pedestrians.

I'm not saying to take away any options... But let's stop incentivizing the wasteful and start incentivizing the efficient. I as a consumer would love to see more small car options for selfish reasons. They handle better and are more fun to drive.

Nor should it be.

If I had to guess after managing enterprise WAF across hundreds of domains...

It's either a crowler or vulnerability scanner, and may be scanning by IP address. I don't think you configured anything wrong.

You may want to add some form of captcha or user agent based filter to get rid of it. Good news is that it's not necessarily something to worry about.

I'd avoid IP based blocking. It's only temporarily effective.

This is just it, it can barely handle manage my lighting system. How am I going to trust it to make purchases? Brought to you by the same people who can't keep fake reviews off their platform.

But git is decentralized by design... Just self host.

Nobody expects it to be free. But it used to operate with far less intrusive ads. Also, people didn't use ad blockers until they got worse.

Well yeah. The companies are state subsidized and a good bit of the tech is stolen from electric car companies in other countries that actually have to pay for R&D.

Preach. This is a symptom of a world rapidly going to shit. But hey, we have AI to accelerate the direction we are heading.

This failure essentially means there's an issue at either the DNS or TLS layers. I'd start looking at TLS, namely trusted root certs and OpenSSL.

I'm in this comment and I don't know how to feel about it.

Not at the same level, no. And we frankly shouldn't be doing that either.

That makes more sense, I didn't realize it affected intelligence communities as well.

I haven't seen anything that meets your requirements.

Is there a chance that you could find an open source keyboard and a translation layer, like a software or an input card? I know it's not ideal, but worth investigating.

Does the Toyota Crown come in a PHEV flavor?

I agree. However... I do have a public repo with my helper scripts in case I need to set them up on a new machine. best of both worlds!

Legitimate question... I thought Operation Paperclip just brought over the Nazi scientists after WWII? What am I missing? We're there politicians or other Nazi party members included?

Best way to make the switch is by immersion. I'd also like to add it's best to do it when you're not being forced on a timeline, and you have time to deal with it. All my personal machines made the jump 7 years ago and I don't regret it.

Agreed, IaC has helped that process a lot. I just used to curse.

I'm personally using Mint for this exact purpose. It just works and I don't have to think about it much.

I love Mint for the simplicity. My only complaint is the lack of Wayland support for cinnamon.

Ark survival evolved is one of my personal favorites

Someone has to pay for the R&D to make EV's possible. So far, that's not BYD. It's been US and European countries.
