Hehe. Then all those busy rooms will be ded. This would be a huge problem for matrix. Not really technically (since you could add additional rooms from other servers), but more like brand damage.

Almost all services on the internet are behind cloudflare ddos protection.

Still a very important service for many people who are alone.😢

He is not wrong. Look the whole internet is basically one centralized cloudflare if we continue this path.

We just should not use cloudflare. Why is everybody still trying to use cloudflare.

It drives me nuts. The default answer on all network problems: why don’t you just use cloudflare? No! No no.

The whole internet is down. Unless you self host

Owhooo your virtual girl friend is offline!

Another reason to self host 😊

It only took 14 minutes and 17 seconds to count the number of r’s.

Ah yes peertube. There it goes wrong already. The name is too much alike.

My mumble server, gitlab, mbin, nextcloud server, blog,… 😴☺️.

Everything is still up https://server.melroy.org/

I hate youtube so much. When are they moving all to freetube peertube or something? How long do we all accept Google youtube?

Exactly. I think you complicate it all. Governments need to just setup their own data centers or host it somewhere within their own country. And ideally use open source solutions if possible and most importantly they should not only use it, but also donate to these projects they use.

All EU countries are slowly drifting to surveillance state due to privacy laws, or don’t allow encryption (uh what?), or block DNS providers, or whatever they come up with next.

Europe and manufacturing in one sentence? That is not possible!

It doesn’t contradict by definition. So ipfs is also decentralized yet you will need to run a client /server. So the client is also the server. Allowing you to connect to a mesh decentralized system. Just like torrent is also both a client and a server.
