Are we just going to forget that the feds went through Melania’s panty drawer during the raid over the documents?

Thank you! I was literally on a site that did similar things like 30 mins ago, but I will definitely bookmark this! Much less fussy than the others.

I have a gift for you https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/labor-market-freeze-ph...
In the future, just know that typing archive.is/{paste article link} in your URL bar almost always removes paywalls. There’s also an extension that does this automatically for most news sites https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41294166

Ironically, Cloudflare Enterprise is apparently as expensive as—if not more—than Akamai.
Cloudflare also has this 5-10ms phantom latency that they’ve never been able to fix, and it definitely hurts them when compared to Fastly, CloudFront and the others, especially when we start talking about serverless functions… (https://www.fastly.com/blog/debunking-cloudflares-recent-per...)
Overall, I don’t imagine companies use Cloudflare because its solving some super niche issue, but it’s rather easy to slap on and may even reduce costs. I’ve used so many similar services and I can’t say that Cloudflare stood out in any way whatsoever. It felt super limited, and even the paid tiers don’t offer that many extra features.
To their credit, they are a very transparent company that has made significant contributions over the years to open source, and has arguably been one of my biggest sources of inspiration in general, but they’re are not the Apple of the CDN industry.
Edit: just a quick edit right after posting—I never really see Cloudflare in use directly by the top sites. They do exist, but it’s pretty rare, and even if you don’t believe me, I can always tell when a site uses Cloudflare due to its phantom latencies.

Some of the documents I found also contain prices from all sorts of vendors.
I have a strong reason to believe it’s not inflated, based on posts from their customers on the internet, and the fact that Akamai’s products on Azure and similar indicate similar prices.
To be fair, most of their customers are massive, so I doubt they’re paying that much, especially if they’ve been long-time Akamai customers with multi-year contracts.

Very, very fascinating.

I was just on the Github page a day ago, and now it's gone. Someone reuploaded it here https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean but I can't gurantee the authenticity of it and it isn't working for me.
I repuloaded the zip to a repo on one of my Github accounts https://github.com/nikolqyy/bypass-paywalls-chrome/releases/...

Oracle Cloud offers 10TB free bandwidth per month and is part of the bandwidth alliance I think with Cloudflare.
Edgecast (Edgio) is free as far as I can tell, except you pay for support if you want it and some extra features.
Datapacket has unmetered bandwidth for example.
There are plenty of solutions, but they aren’t very well known because of the dominance AWS and others have.
Not to mention, it might be cheaper to just use direct connect with a cloud provider or just grab an ASN and host stuff in a local datacenter.

There’s always methamphetamine, dextroamphetamine and brand names for different amphetamines or drugs like methylphenidate and armodafinil, and then of course the specialty name drugs.

Anyone can by pseudoephedrine, but there’s a system that checks to make sure you haven’t exceeded your monthly limit, and if someone is talking about meth or makes a joke about meth while buying pseudoephedrine, it might raise a red flag, but generally pharmacies sell it to anyone since there’s really no workaround the the monthly limits.

An odd fixation on Apache traffic server…
I'll add more at some point,,
