Yo internet, it is time to learn our lesson.

[ArgonianVoter]

stop relying on large trusts like AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare! and DIVERSIFY, let there be actual competition on the markets and you won't get railed!

 

[Baseton Repillé]

Uh, which Internet? I don't know what Internet you mean, is it by chance the capital-I Internet? There's literally no way to know because I have crippling autism and when people don't capitalize the word Internet it makes my clitty leak.

I think you're referring to the Information Superhighway.

As the CTO of a large investment bank that would be grievously damaged if we ever experienced even a minute of downtime, I've taken this advice to heart, and instead of using an unreliable company like Cloudflare or AWS, I've retained the services of Diamond Billy's X-Pert Web Hosting. He also runs a very fine Tex-Mex style barbecue joint if you're ever in the greater Tulsa area.

But if they dismantled their monopoly, they couldn't censor anyone saying "nigger." Think of the poor, innocent censors!

 

[I'm Retarded?]

I rely on Cloudflare to tongue my salty balls

 

[Chris Konon]

But how will I holistically architect and synergize with the stakeholders to disrupt the current value chain and explain that we are pivoting away from our microservice-agnostic, multi-cloud-leveraged (AWS/Azure/GCP) serverless and containerized stack of horizontally-scaled, decentralized, Web3-compliant, Generative AI LLM-powered, autonomous agentic applications, effectively abandoning the low-hanging fruit of pre-trained models in favor of a more hyper-personalized, edge-computing-optimized, quantum-ready, deep-learning, enterprise-grade, meta-heuristic, blockchain-enabled and future-proofed infrastructure-as-code-driven solution that delivers maximum ROI through leveraging unparalleled computational granularity?

Sounds like OP meant the series of tubes invented by Al Gore.

 

[agent_donkey]

Cloudflare will say "lol, sorry, won't happen again" and everyone will forget within 2 weeks.
Too big to fail, one could say.

I can feel a blood vessel popping in my brain just reading this.

DESTROY CLOUDFARE NOW!

I'm literally MATI over this. Like it or not, Cloudflare is a critical piece of internet infrastructure. Its going to break itself so a handful of developers in San Francisco can feel smug.

https://www.m9host.com/ you mean this? I guess it could work, you lose access to the security layers though.

if you do want real alts though you have:

https://www.akamai.com/

(Incapsula) https://www.imperva.com/

https://www.fastly.com/

https://www.stackpath.com/ (this seems to be having issues currently, dunno why)
and https://bunny.net/
for CDNs
depending on what your actual needs are,
you do not NEED to use Cloudflares services, there's other people on the market

I don’t know shit about programming. But why is Rust always getting shit on?

Rust is very strict about safety and correctness, and so it's filled with the worst people imaginable, the compiler sucks and is brutal refusing to compile 90% of what you put in, it's basically anti freedom. that's why.

I've been using https://mzunguhosting.ml/ and am very satisfied with their service

I'm sorry to tell you this but the United States doesn't have a fair competition market economy. Its an oligopoly with elected oligarchs that is defining the market. Amazon/AWS is more national infrastructure than anything else at this point.

Rust is obsessed with memory safety, and doesn’t even understand software correctness. The continued conflation of the two by morons in programmer socks will have dire consequences for us all.
