i feel like a cracked record at this point, but cloudflare being a single point of failure is absolutely not a good thing. but hosting a site without cloudflare is basically suicide. in other words, this internet thing is doomed.

just for transparency, we are getting hit with daily DDoS attacks which are able to bypass cloudflare protection. it’s happened before for months at a time; we can cope but it’s very draining on me. if anyone knows who is responsible please tell them to kindly fuck off, thanks!
