  • 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.













  • it may be like that in the “third world”, but in western countries at least, if you don’t have a cell phone you are pretty much actively discriminated against. many government programs, not to mention utilities, require the use of a smartphone app. for example, my electric company requires one, as does my internet company. you can’t even begin service with my ISP if you don’t have an app.

    if you live in the US, you’ll find it very difficult to even find a job without a cell phone, as most unemployment programs or job listings are done through apps these days. so the first thing any homeless person needs to acquire, is internet access and social media.


  • I see a lot of people asking for mutual aid, and it’s often “I’ve had a hard day and just want some McDonalds, please help”

    OK, that’s not mutual aid, and you shouldn’t be asking for that under that hashtag. if you need help paying your rent, or with gas money so you don’t lose your job, that’s something that appropriate for mutual aid. asking for money for vices should be something you do off the hashtag, or on your OF or something. mutual aid is for people helping where they can, when they can, for problems that are serious and life-altering. and nothing else.
