After every such story I see, I subscribe one more person to Mullvad.

Sucks. Now I have to look for alternatives.

I don't think that's an alternative to US hyperscalers. Scaleway is the closest thing there is. Replacing a single service with 10 others is not really an alternative in my opinion.

ClouDNS is probably the most popular one.

> They don’t want to actively police the internet

They do and they've done so in the past. They are just more okay with some illegal stuff than others.

Because cloudflare is and always has been a bad actor. They protect all sorts of illegal stuff.

They had a referendum for that?

Did they agree? I've read at least one news article in the past 2 years talking about a referendum.

Isn't the whole point of Cloudflare's Workers to pay per function? If it is self-hosted, you must dedicate hardware in advance, even if it's rented in the cloud.

I get the point. But those are incomparable. Hyperscalers don't compete on price, they compete on scale and services offered. The compliance, the security, the support, the integrations, the backups.

Can you host your own object storage open source software, key vault OSS, VPN, queue service, container registry, logging, host your own Postgres/MySQL? Sure, but you will need to research what is best, what is supported, keep it maintained, make sure to update it and that those updates don't break anything, wake up in the middle of the night when it breaks, make sure it's secure. And you would still need to handle access control across those services. And you would still need a 3rd party service for DDoS protection, likely CDN too. And you would likely need some identity provider.

They have it on their website + the version 2 which has reflective protection + a backlight and is also in 24 inches.

It still seems to require a browser to use. But sure, I guess it's easier to start with.

Setting aside the obvious privacy issues with de-anonymizing everyone, it's great to limit kids' access to media for adults.

Lmao, an app.
