You should reread the entire blog post.

Same. Whatsapp and Signal chats are both E2E encrypted, Telegram is not.

> You can both send and receive from them.

This is not quite correct. According to Protonmail:

> but sending emails from a @pm.me email address requires a paid account.

https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/pm-me-addresse...

My criticism is: You should never use an e-mail address from which you cannot send. This has nothing to do with Protonmail but is a problem in general.

At my employer, some users register with a pm.me email address. When users contact us via email, they use a different protonmail address and never the pm.me address. I know you can never rely on the sender address, but from a support perspective this is still strange and extremely troublesome (for example it is tedious to assign the user to an account). I assume that Protonmail users can only receive emails with pm.me, but not send them. For me actually a reason to block pm.me or to handle it like a throwaway address.

This. Result: The website (here Twitter) load faster, because Exit nodes are sometimes not that fast.

Have you read the status entry? Among other things, calls is also affected.

> It's a random Tweet from a pseudonymous account, so take with a huge grain of salt.

The same username started the github/dmca[1] repository at that time. The tweet sounds plausible to me. If only because it is completely normal to block (within russia, geo-blocking) for the russian government, otherwise you will be banned in Russia.

As I said, I don't understand the argument either.

The argumentation is often: as long as the data is processed in the EU, this is not a problem. Find the argument as such a bit strange, but with Cloudflare this would already be possible today. https://www.cloudflare.com/data-localization/

I would appreciate it if an HN moderator would change the title.

And your website, with 10 visits per day, needs several TB of data?

There would be a very bad development. Whatsapp has end-to-end encryption by default, Telegram does not.

This blogpost is from 2020. It seems that the author has since migrated the site to Vercel. It would be interesting to know why he has now chosen Vercel.

  $ dig +short brianli.com

  $ whois 76.76.21.21 | grep OrgName  
  OrgName:        Vercel, Inc

I love the fact that both are represented on HN and yet there is - in most cases - a great disscussion culture.

Sorry no offense, but it's obvious you've never worked in support before.... :-) I'm sure they already know that half the infrastructure is down. Every support request brings exactly nothing, except more chaos.

No, the solution is: Don't save unnecessary data about your visitors. Then you don't need any Cookie banner.

According to NextDNS my MacBooks talks constantly with some apple.com subdomains. Some are blocked by NextDNS for privacy reasons.

For some companies it is enough to say "The data center is ISO certified". Which I always found strange, because almost every data center is ISO certified. But you will notice over time how relevant that will be for your customers. Simply ask with every lost offer what the reason was. Then you can still take care of your own certification.

The traffic analogy is a good explanation. Here you go: https://scoutapm.com/blog/understanding-load-averages

Self hosting GitLab = Run 1 single Docker Container. Very easy.

But still: A mobile phone in most cases is cheaper then a notebook.

I know at least two swiss banks.

> Is there any evidence of this?

No, because this is a conspiracy. Whoever claims something like that should prove it and not the other way around.

Imagine if Google penalised websites that did not have IPV6. Then it would suddenly happen very quickly.

Some public/recursive DNS Servers like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) do not tell the authoritative dns server the ip address or subnet of the requestor. Your ISP's DNS server usually does this. This makes CDN via DNS more difficult, as it is not always entirely clear from where the request comes (Cloudflare itself does not need this, they do everything with Anycast).

Hetzner Cloud is known in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). They charge 1.19€ ($1) per TB and 20TB per Compute/VM is included.

No, you have done everything right. At least from the point of view of DNS. That you can not use multiple nameservers is a limitation of Cloudflare (limit in the sense of: Cloudflare can only offer their services in the Free and Pro plan if they have full control over all nameservers).

I think that's the reason, why this service is not very interesting for illegal content.
