 Cloudflare are like the tongue-lolling tail-wagging half-coyote pup that just killed your chickens.

Akamai and most hosting providers are all coyote, and some of them are rabid.

 I know what dingos are, but, sure. 

I can't stand seeing all the cloudflare intrusions just because I'm running an effing VPN. 🙄

I'm using Tor bro, I know the pain.

Archive.org is the aspirin of non-KYC internet use

 yeah, i'm on my own wireguard tunnel to a fixed IP address and still get endlessly captcha and check this box bullshit when i have a FUCKING LOGIN COOKIE on the sites in question

this is something we can fix with nostr, because NIP-42

NIP-42 NIP-42 NIP-42

elliptic curve signatures are a super power that will let us break out of the cage

seriously, you see my NIP-05 on nostrudel is yellow, that's because of cloudflare, and because my current VPS has fucked with my reverse proxy and are basically deleting my http headers and replacing with their own, wrong headers

the VPS support even lied to me that they don't have any relationship with CF

no, there's no way you get this:

https://cors-test.codehappy.dev/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fn.mleku.com%2F.well-known%2Fnostr.json&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcors-test.codehappy.dev%2F&method=get

without cloudflare firewalling your 443 and 80 ports on your internet interfaces

oh no, the VPS has no relation to CF

*cough* fucking romanian liars

 Most of this message might as well be Quechua to me, except the last line, which made me almost laugh OUT LOUD next to my sleeping baby 😆
