Hire more kernel devs full time, sponsor some more, get the hardware in their hands, make it their job to do nothing but fix or improve frameworks, and then get your shit merged upstream not in some random distro.
The majority of of legitimate traffic to these txt files are by browsers(extensions) for the express purpose of displaying websites to a users specifications(without ads in this case).
A reasonably low estimate is that 20%-30% of global internet users are behind some kind of adblocker, almost all of which are default subscribed to easylists. So this txt file is potentially responsible for the way a BILLION+ internet users see and interact with near every single website.
Cloudflares claim that this isn't web content is full on reality warping. It only makes any kind of sense when masked under layers of abstractions and lawyer speak.

None this should even matter though, someone seeing the big picture at CF should have done the napkin math and realized that the easylist bandwidth pays for itself.
Ignoring the soft cushion of the huge amount of globally distributed caching of these files, if easylist suddenly stopped working for a week then global bandwidth usage could see a spike. A pretty little chunk of which CF may be on the hook to absorb at no cost.
Cloudflare is balancing on a razer for this TOS technicality.
Video cards are realistically the only component in a desktop actually hooked up to enough power to cover the full USB-PD spec(240w currently?) + the rest like display/audio/hub.
I can only hope the upcoming AMD 7000 reference series still has a USB-C port. In fact I would be perfectly happy with a card with nothing but USB-C ports on it.
We have a lot of OG series and first gen NFC yubikeys floating around. So I had planned on moving my company to yubikey bio keys at the top of the year but this pricing on the basic keys might win out now.
Well, here's hoping cloudflare has plans to add an offering for the bio series in the future.
The marketing about it being a "metaverse" seems misplaced even if its technically true or not.
I've been told its for tax reasons, something about not needing to pay taxes on a building that is still "under construction"
At work we had an entire .dev domain nuked at the registrar level by google because a developer generated some traffic google didn't like on a subdomain. They replaced the ENTIRE domain with a google phishing warning page with no way to bypass to get to the actual site.
It took multiple days to resolve the phishing false positive and restore the domain, if it had been our main domain it would have a major emergency at work.
I would highly recommended porkbun over CF for registrar services.
When I transfered in some domains I had some questions about their UI so I gave them a ring, and immediately I was chatting with an extremely competent product engineer.
No phone system to navigate, no filtering through L1/L2 "support", no bullshit. I can't remember the last time I've had such a pleasant experience contacting support for a service.
Domain ownership/control is basicly the keys to the kingdom for most businesses and cloudflare should recognize that responsibility and fucking shape up.
Stop treating your registrar like its some side piece product you can use to lock people into your services.
So the fact that my entire off grid battery system would travel with me when I'm not at home is a huge benefit.
Its frankly, disgusting.
The signup form looks like it accepts it but actually it never sends me the "You’re on the list!" confirmation email.
- INTERNAL FM ANTENNA FOR BOTH RX AND TX
- BUILT-IN FM RADIO TRANSMISSION
- OB–4 COMPATIBLE USING FM TX OR WIRE
Pretty neato to see code I wrote pop up on HN.
The basic idea is simple, "give developers free personal resources so they might be inclined to start using your cloud for work related thing". Instead, the "free account" is basically just a guided tour on OCI incompetence before it boots you out onto the street.
On the surface they have given it some thought with setting up the system perfectly with the whole, "if your account is free you can never be charged thing" but they can't seem to stomach people actually using their "free account".
I've had previous clients whos entire account with production servers just get nuked without even so much as a curtsey email and OCI support WILL NOT HELP.
As an added bonus they will randomly nuke accounts and production servers without even a curtsey email.
I won't even take on clients if they are using OCI.
I made the switch to Linux earlier this year but I still miss tortoisegit literally every day.
Like I'm traveling with a usbc only monitor connected to a 6800xt and everything has been working fine with it until yesterday.
I updated manjaro packages and the kernel to 5.15, and somehow that resulted in the monitor not working during boot anymore. Which I just don't understand the logistics of AT ALL. How does the host OS relate to video out during boot?
The video out also didn't work once booted into linux but I was able to resolve this by replugging the monitor a couple of times after each restart. Ultimately reverting back to the 5.14 kernel fixed it in Linux but didn't fix it during boot.
So now I just have to enter my LUKS pass blindly and hope for the best or that I never need to adjust my bios settings ever again.
And on a slightly related side tangent how do people who switch to a bluetooth mouse/keyboard adjust their boot/bios? They just don't?
