@baldur I'd not trust #ClownFlare at all because they are not only a #ValueRemoving - #Rentseeker seeling a #RacketeeringScheme (their entire business model should not exist to begin with!) and besides that they utterly #fail at #DDoS & #scaper- / #crawler protection at all...

For everything re: #Cloudflare being bad, Liz Fong-Jones already made a lenghtly playlist:

@isotopp not to mention the whole concept of paying a 3rd party that (outside of #FLOSS-based OSes like #Linux and #BSD's!) won't habe Sourcecode access and accept their #BinaryBlob #Kernelhack is not only weird per concept but basically a digital #RacketeeringScheme!

In fact, it should be the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the #maontainers to actually make their #OS secure - period!

Everything else is just #bait for the #Scareware-based sales pitch that fools #TechIlliterates into becoming victims of said racketeering scheme...
