Seriously, #ClownFlare are at best a #ValueRemoving #MITM and more often than not a #RogueISP who's business model is a #RacketeeringScheme that should not exist to begin with.
- There is no legitimate reason to use #Cloudflare!
@0xF21D #ClownFlare is a #RogueISP and their #MITM-based approach eould've always allowed that.
- Why is ANYONE here surprised of that?
@Viss #CloudFlare is a #RogueISP known to offer Services in #Russia and to #CyberCriminals...
#ClownFlare is also a #ValueRemoving #rentseeker who's core product / service is essentially a #Racketeering Scheme and should not exist as any competent hoster offers #DDoS protection free of charge...
Wow, GitLab's setup of Clownflare's "Are you a human?" widget is blocking Firefox on my work Mac today, nice work.
Really not happy with CloudFlare deciding what browser I can use for things. I'm really not a robot.
As is tradition, Chrome (well, Vivaldi in my case) works. 
It did get challenged *twice* though, which seems like overkill.
Oh hey, Cloudflare's bug-ridden fingerprinting captcha still fails in Firefox on EndeavourOS, I feel right at home.
I have a perverse urge to see if it works in @servo
@kotaro yes, and they circumvent #ClownFlare's "#DDoS Protection" and can only be stopped by literally blocking entire CIDR Netblocks if not complete ASNs.
Okay, obviously even #Cloudflare isn't able to interpret #DMARC policies and sends out bounce mails if someone hijacks your domain to send spam/malware.
@cr #ClownFlare on it's own is a shure way to identify #CyberCriminals and criminally incompetent people.
- No legitimate business uses that #RogueISP!
@kajer well, @mozillaofficial DESERVES the #hate and #heat for betraying #Firefox users!
- I still want them to surrender it and hand it over to @torproject so #TorBrowser becomes the new #Upstream, which would also normalize #Tor useage and finally cancel #ClownFlare and other #ValueRemoving #rentseekers for good!
According to this, I have Strong Bot Signals. 
https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/troubleshooting/challenge-solve-issues/
My strong bot-like behaviour is apparently running Firefox on OpenSUSE Linux? 'cause I've got all the same extensions in Vivaldi, and it's not a bot.
Or is it?
Why should I disable my extensions when you're the one who's broken? But I've tried this before, and it doesn't help.
Shoutout to @squidfunk for making Material for MkDocs which comes with a metric ton of #QualityOfLife improvements like being easily able to self-host all assets and thus comply with #privacy #laws whilst being as easy to setup as the regular #MkDocs.
- I'll propably make more use of it in the future since the original MkDocs seems to still use "#CDN|s" like #ClownFlare / #CloudFlare and #GoogleFonts...
LeetCode's got the broken Cloudflare, but their login process lets you hit "Sign in" while Cloudflare is sitting there spinning.
Task failed successfully.
@fluepke I literally cancel companies for using #ClownFlare to this day!
- Cuz #CloudFlare is a #RogueISP…
@sylv_a personally, I'd recommend #XMPP+#OMEMO (and #PGP/MIME - encrypted #eMail) for real #E2EE with #SelfCustody of Keys as well as actual #decentralization.
- All #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solutions are inherently insecure, if not due to #TechStack (i.e. using a #CDN like #ClownFlare for app assets with no valid reason), #PII (demaning a #PhoneNumber which oftentimes cannot be obtained anonymously for no valod reason!) or lack of #DataProtection #Laws (i.e. #CloudAct is inherently incompatible with #GDPR & #BDSG), it's due to the inherent risks of #centralization.
Cuz I noone's gonna risk jailtime for (non-paying!) users - it at all…
- Not even @Mer__edith !
In fact I'd call U.S. MIL/INTEL as "criminally incompetent" if they didn't manage to plant multiple people inside @signalapp / #Signal or any other single-vendor / single-provider messenger.
- Cuz if Signal wasn't #NOBUS, they would've been shutdown/taken down/criminalized/hacked like #EncroChat and #SkyECC.
Personally, solutions like Signal & #Threema have a stench like #CryptoAG / #MINERVA / #Rubikon and #ANØM / #OperationIronside / #OperationTrøjanShield.
By contrast: #OpenStandards like XMPP+OMEMO & PGP/MIME are independently verifyable and not dependent on on a single individual/organization for maintenance/survival/implementation/development.
- Also not depending on #GAFAMs and/or #VCmoneyBurningParties is way more sustainable long-term...
Personally I'd still recommend @monocles / #monocles with #monoclesChat & #gajim...
An alternative to the DNS servers of Google and Cloudflare:

The guy behind it is in Copenhagen, Denmark and explains the difference between "anycast" and "unicast" very well IMHO.
#clownflare
@dee @agturcz Still, using #ClownFlare, which is a #RogueISP is a serious risk and it's up to @signalapp to actually not do that!
- This whole issue doesn't apply to any #XMPP+#OMEMO client or service I know of...
"[...] easy to use solutions that are at the same time private and secure. [...]"
- The fact that @signalapp requires #PII like a #PhoneNumber which more often than not cannot be legally acquired anonymously makes it not #private.
It is easier, faster, cheaper and overall simpler to get someone setup with #XMPP + #OMEMO espechally if they don't have a #PhoneNumber and/or #ID to acquire a #SIM.
And if you go and say, "Just buy a [insert country here] [e]SIM!" and expect #TechIlliterates without a #CreditCard, #PayPal or other means of #OnlinePayment to fiddle around with some #eSIM if not having to get some #eSIMcard because they can only afford to maintain one SIM and can't spend triple-digits on a new devices then you completely missed the point!
- I can much faster and easier get TechIlliterates setup show them around - either in a @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth / @cryptoparty@chaos.social / #CryptoParty - style #classroom / #seminar or 1:1 tutoring than I can legally acquire and activate a new SIM in #Germany [since 07/2017]...
It's not that I expect anyone to get #TechLiterate within minutes, but similar to setting up a cordless DECT phone it's something one has to do once in 5 years and just have them put the password in a safe spot to retain...
Point is that #Signal #WontFix their setup and that was evidently clear even before @Mer__edith succeeded #MoxieMarlinspike: Their entire operation has a distinct #CryptoAG stench as it's an #unsustainable #VCmoneyBurning party!
- #CloudAct and the #NOBUS hegemony ain't something that just got executed now (neither was #GDPR & #BDSG!)...
A counterexample on how this could've been done are #Tor, #eMail and other truly #OpenSource as in #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider standards.
NOTHING compells Signal to demand PII, run a #Shitcoin #Scam aka. #MobileCoin that even seasoned #TechLiterates and #CryptoBros can't setup properly, and in fact Signal using phone numbers makes it trivial to discriminate against users and easier for them to identify them!
If my reasoning didn't resonate with you, then try helping i.e. undocumented migrants aka. "#SansPapier|s" to get setup with it without violating laws and/or ToS and/or needing an imported SIM which I'm shure most folks don't have on hand!
Whereas it's trivial to get people setup on one of many XMPP servers I've personally tested!
- Not to mention clients like @monocles / #monoclesChat and @gajim / #gajim are way more user-friendly and unlike Signal can also work perfectly fine over #Tor, including #OnionServices as endpoints.
AFAIK Signal doesn't even have an #OnionService / .onion for their Website, much less any #API enpoints to use it with!
- Them relying on #ClownFlare is just something that makes them even more #sus as there is no legitimate reason to use a #RogueISP like that.
You're free to also provide evidence and supporting data to your arguments, rather then neighsaying against proven to be more secure and reliable [by virtue of decentralization] options like XMPP+OMEMO and/or #PGP/MIME.
- What gets my blood boiling is the constant #disinfo by Signal Fanboys like @rysiek who sell it like #DigitalSnakeoil akin to #AntivirusSoftware, because it's at best "#TechPopulism" and at worst will mislead "TechIlliterates" with a false sense of security, which in turn puts more users at risk.
The proper fix is to actually assess the situation and acknowledge the risks and limitations as well as the very nature of communications, which means upgrading later is exponentially more painful, thus getting people properly setup once is way easier.
- Just because WE [ or rather @rysiek in this case ] rather privilegued enough to not be hatecrimed in their current location doesn't mean this is the case for everyone. And having places like Signal rely on a "#CDN" is just another red flag to me because questions like this one just don't arise with monocles.chat as people can just exercise proper #SelfCustody and just use Tor!
Speaking of #monocles: That business is at least #sustainable because it's funded by users (€2 p.m.) which they can pay anonymously
