Cloudflare is a standard piece of kit for any moderately popular website. It handles things like strict SSL enforcement, anti ddos (this is a big reason), and other edge networking functions that modern websites need.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Why isn't Lemmy doing anything about issues where the propagandists/spammers can be seen spreading staged or AI-generated propaganda, such as "This is Gaza, Unfiltered"?English
8·1 month agoThe very question of “why isn’t Lemmy doing anything” is deeply misunderstanding the structure of this network. Report something offending and instance mods will look at it. You know, like all the reports I got about this post.

I’m still getting a ton of reports about this thread. An open call for everyone to cool their jets please. I don’t really wanna lock anything.

World News@quokk.au•US set for largest mass resignation in history as Trump continues deep cutsEnglish
10·2 months agoOne of its key proposals is to restructure and politicize the federal workforce, replacing many civil service positions (which currently have protections and merit rules) with loyalists and more direct presidential control.
The blueprint explicitly calls for reclassifying or converting many civil servants into political‐appointment roles and weakening civil service rules.
Mass layoffs or deferred resignation aren’t called out specifically.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you not feel lazy at your wfh job?English
2·3 months agoI find that having a task list that you use religiously helps a lot because then you can visually see what you have to do.
At some point though, if you’re getting all your work done and don’t have more to do, work on bettering yourself in some way you care about and enjoy it while it lasts.

I found it really easy to get started with. Although I’d recommend KDE over Gnome. I tried Gnome for a few hours before changing my mind and it was just a little too different from what I was used to.

189·3 months agoThis is me. Always Windows for my gaming computer and when I built a new one recently, I went full Linux. No regrets so far.
It’s OK, lots of men don’t have it. It was probably taken from you when you were young.

Cost and risk.
Edge networking services can be expensive and Cloudflare offers a free tier which is decent. Additionally, I’m sure down detector has a method of making money, but I sure don’t pay them. I can’t imagine I’m the weird one. So they are almost certainly operating on a tight budget.
It’s fresh in our minds today, but these big providers are way more reliable than not. It makes sense to use them because they are generally not down.
It just doesn’t make sense to do anything different. I doubt they change even after this outage. I certainly wouldn’t.
