if you think everyone around you is an asshole, you’re the asshole.

Most people I run across aren’t assholes, you’re just an exception.

be clear when you say shit and people won’t misunderstand you and treat you like a fucking moron.

Obviously, when name Cloudflare specifically more than once, it can be so hard to tell which platform I mean. It’s an easy mistake to make if you don’t know how to read.

not knowing how a platform specific product works doesn’t dictate intelligence.

No, but using hostility as a way to distract from when you’ve gone and made yourself look like an idiot is certainly a defense commonly used by, as you put it, “fucking morons”. Now, is there any other pearls of wisdom you want to offer us, Mr. Trump, or was your eternally youthful ardor spent on that one emission?

It added that the privacy tool “particularly penalized smaller publishers,” as they depend to a large extent on the collection of third-party data to fund their businesses.

If your business depends on collecting the private data of users to sell to other companies, then you don’t deserve to exist as a business. I don’t care if these are the “little guys”, the entire ad business is a parasitical industry.

Well, if you were so smart yourself, you would know the Cloudflare certs aren’t for public use. The certs your site uses to communicate with the user are shared among multiple Cloudflare users, and aren’t accessible to anyone but Cloudflare. You can’t generate, revoke, view, or download them. The decade long certs you generate are for communication between your origin server and Cloudflare, they aren’t exposed to the public internet. If you use an Argo tunnel, which many selfhosters do, they’re used for the secure VPN tunnel between yourself and Cloudflare. Since all your traffic comes from Cloudflare, a smart user would whitelist those IPs and ignore web traffic from everything else if they weren’t going to use a tunnel. Even if someone got ahold of them, which is unlikely, they wouldn’t do anyone any good, because they would need access to your Cloudflare account as well to change the origin server.

But then, you aren’t so smart yourself. You’re just some random nobody on the internet that decided to start using their arsehole for speaking. And as is typical in such a situation, everything you say reeks of shit.

Now, do you want to continue embarrassing yourself? Because you’re not hurting my feelings by doing so.

You’re just not a pleasant person, are you? Every time you’ve replied to one of my posts, it’s to be a twatwaffle.

An ignorant twatwaffle, considering you obviously have no idea how Cloudflare certs work. Which ends up making me look like I’m smarter than I really am, so thanks!

Yeah, it’s a huge PITA to just, you know, click the button to generate a new cert and revoke the old one.

You don’t need to put the server in the DMZ, just port forward port 80 and 443. Most routers these days ignore all requests to ports that aren’t open. And stick it behind Cloudflare, so you don’t have to expose your IP. Cloudflare also allows you to generate SSL certs that are good for a decade.

Google is the only sure way right now.

You heard it right here on Privacy Guides, ladies and gents!

I’m an anarchist. You know, the kind of person who actually fights for civil rights, while your lot sits at home sipping wine and wondering why the poors are getting so uppity.

You better hope not. Cause if that’s true, then judging from the downvotes you’re getting, people would like something an AI said more than an allegedly intelligent human. But, you swing for the fruit you’re intellectually capable of reaching, I suppose.

Isn’t it brunch time somewhere in the world? Why don’t you go do some sort of performative milquetoast protest and leave the discussion to the adults?

That’s a straw man. I didn’t say the party wasn’t full of fascists, I said not all of them are nazis. Just stop already, you’re embarrassing yourself if you have to invent things I said because you don’t have a good response to what I did say.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard all week, congratulations. You’re insinuating that all Republicans are nazis, for one. It leads me to wonder if you were dropped on you head a little too much as a child. I could go on and point out further problems with your post, but if you’re calling everyone who disagrees with you a nazi, I honestly doubt you’re the sort of person to be willing or able to think critically about what you read, so why bother.

He’s not a nazi sympathizer, stop being ridiculous. And he has never once said he would give your data to the US government, Trump admin or not. You’re just straight up lying.

You and everyone like you are overly dramatic, terminally online chronic posters, making mountains out of molehills because you thrive on controversy and need something new each week to be outraged about.

I can’t imagine all the military and intelligence people that use Threema for casual comms are gonna be happy about this.

That’s childish, petulant nonsense, especially since that would be illegal under Swiss law, even if this law is amended. Not to mention, it isn’t Andy Yen who gets to decide that anyway. It’s the board of directors, of which Tim motherfucking Berners-Lee is a member. You know, father of the World Wide Web.

Ah, I should have guessed that from the quotes, huh? That was my bad.

If you must cross the border, you can always wipe your phone beforehand. Both androids and iPhones can be restored from backups, and it takes an hour at most. They can’t look at your messages if there’s nothing to look at. Likewise, for laptops it’s very simple to store everything either in the cloud, or on a NAS at home, and log out of the VPN before you get on a plane.

Alternatively, you can buy a burner phone for the country you are going to, and have it shipped to you in the US before you leave. This might also be the cheaper option, given that some cell providers can get expensive when you travel abroad.

So your position is that they did something you didn’t like a decade ago, and so that makes them untrustworthy now?

At least you’ve admitted that your argument is nothing more than an opinion.

That’s very good advice. The article you links specifically says “Allegedly” in the title. Let me save you the hassle of getting a dictionary and explain to you the definition of “allegedly”:

used when something is said to be true but has not been proved [source]

The article not only does not provide proof, but it admits that it does not provide it. You, however, continue to insist it does because you want it to be true.
