Cloudflare is bad and you should feel bad. DDOS protection does not justify this shit.

*sorry, by this shit I mean general cloudflare shittyness. Fighting AI is cool I just have a reflexive hate for cloudflare.

Why do you hate cloudflare so much? I dont like how much control a for profit company has over the web. But they have a lot of really useful stuff. I have switched my self-hosted stuff to cloudflare tunnels(and tailscale) because it was so much easier then dealing with nginx and certs.
