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?

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.

Nice. Crypto miners disguised as anti-AI.

I’m not using it. I’m a pirate, why would I pay some corp for the privilege? That’s just stupid.

Pay even more money for the inferior product. Good advice.

Yeah, my lifetime Jellyfin subscription wasn’t quite that much, thankfully. 😆

Let’s put it this way, I’m hosting about 30 Docker containers including a full Servarr stack, Jellyfin, and Mastodon on an old Dell workstation intended for office work.

• I like Unraid myself. It has some handy features, like being able to simulate the data on failed drives until you can bring the system down to replace them.
• Install the Servarr apps and set them up according to the TRaSH guides.
• Sure, why wouldn’t it? It’s more than capable of handling it.
• IDK, I use Unraid, so my system isn’t a traditional RAID, hence the name.

That’s a wonderful idea. Wish I had done that when I first started. I know the basic process behind recovering from hardware failures on my NAS, but I’ve never actually gotten any practical experience in doing it, which will probably increase my downtime when it inevitably happens.

Because you listen to news that makes money by sensationalizing everything for profit, and happy stories don’t sell papers. There’s plenty of uplifting stuff happening in the world every day that flies under the radar.

what about those of us who snap them in half?

pulling apart the bacon piece by piece to fry it.

listen, you can just stick the whole brick of it into the pan, the heat from the skillet makes the bacon slices separate. you can cook the whole thing at once.

That’s an odd thing to see these days. I didn’t know ISPs still did that. I bet they offer a more expensive tier for businesses is why.

Literally anything you want. You don’t need a static IP, any dynamic IP with a software updater will work. For example, I have some public sites proxied through Cloudflare, and I use the DDNS updater for Docker that keeps my DNS correct.

If you had read the OP, they don’t want the scrapers using up all their traffic.

If you’re looking to stop them from wasting your traffic, do not use a tarpit. The whole point of it is that it makes the scraper get stuck on your server forever. That means you pay for the traffic the scraper uses, and it will continually rack up those charges until the people running it wise up and ban your server. The question you gotta ask yourself is, who has more money, you or the massive AI corp?

Tarpits are the dumbest bit of anti-AI tech to come out yet.
