Both Lemmy.world and my server rely upon Cloudflare for SSL, DDOS protection, CDN services, etc. I use it to provide me with a Cloudflare tunnel to get around not being able to forward ports.
Outages have put this dependance to question, and the same with recent news about the US government obtaining data through subpoenas. It’s a free service that takes care of many of the difficulties when it comes to hosting your service online, but everyone knows that free is not free.
What do you all think about Cloudflare?
That would imply the web stack wouldn’t crash if you remove them.
It’s like jenga, janga? Idk how to spell it. Try pulling that one out without it crashing. Sure it could stand if it were never there in the first place, but it is there, so therefore it’s gonna be a pain to remove it safely
