Can you please not post in the flamewar style? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
You're welcome to make your substantive points thoughtfully but it needs to be within the rules. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
We should be suggesting self hosted and decentralized solutions to website hosting and file hosting.
On that note, does anyone have any secure methods of providing serving a file from your computer to anyone with a phone/computer that doesn't require them downloading/installing something new? Just a password or something? Magic-wormhole almost seems great, but it requires the client to install wormhole (on a computer, not phone), and then type specific commands along with the password.
> Once Cloudflare starts using attestation to block anyone not on Chrome/iOS Safari it'll be too late to do anything about it.
That's just plain bs...
Eg
1) they have customers and their customers want protection, with minimal downsides.
2) Cloudflare is the only one with support for Tor. I'm 100% sure you didn't knew that.
What "examples" do you have to blame them for something they aren't doing? Based on what?
I'm getting tired of people blaming Cloudflare for providing a service that no one else can provide for free to small website owners => DDOS protection.
Could you please stop breaking the site guidelines? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
You're of course welcome to make your substantive points thoughtfully while staying within the rules.
> Hacker news is so funny, they complain about the amount of power we've allowed Google, Amazon, and Microsoft to have, and then go right around and recommend putting everything behind Cloudflare.
It’s almost as if those saying contradictory things are actually different people despite being on the same website. But it can’t be that, surely? Truly a perplexing phenomenon that I hope someone can one day explain.
Fair, although I know quite a few people that hold both of these opinions simultaneously because I've met them in person. It's only after I point out their hypocrisy do they even realize what a danger Cloudflare poses to the free and open internet.
I suspect it's because hating on Google is in vogue, and so is recommending Cloudflare.

Is there a simple `iroh serve myfile.file` from server and then client goes to https://some.domain.iroh/a086c07f862bbe839c928fce8749 and types in a password/ticket you give them?
That would be wonderful.

I can't remember any day I didn't get a Cloudflare block. Even on bare IP sometimes. WAFs are security theater.
