"Me: Oh a list of assholes to avoid, nice. Shopify, who tf is that? EZ. 1 keep sucks, lol. Dell...they make trash, easy. Meta, lol, already done. Coin base more like Rube Base am I right? Digital Ocean still relevant in the hosting world? I thought they'd have gone the way of Go Daddy, Ez boycott list."
"Brain: You skipped one."
"Me: reads again Fffffffffffuuuu"
I have no fucking clue how to effectively boycott CloudFlare, gang. That's...kinda the point of how they positioned themselves.
Stupid fucks, they're the only one who stands to make as much hand over fist whether open source enshitifies or not. Except if it enshitifies enough, their spigot stops spilling money.
Greedy cunts and the allure of control, what a dynamic duo.
The fuck to use to replace the quintillion different services CF sells?
Asking for...several friends, actually.
Shopify is the platform that the vast majority of online stores use. It's basically as hard to avoid as CloudFlare.
As a user, yes, as a shop owner, luckily there are alternatives that don't suck.
Depends. Everything can be replicated given enough time investment. Depends on the cost and if it is even worth.
One can't really dodge everything. But giving the bare minimum to pass is, in my eyes, acceptable.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
I cut out Cloudflare with a combination of Quad9 and NetBird Reverse Proxy. It’s not going to be free forever but if I don’t start putting my wallet behind my principles I might find out I don’t have a job or my kid won’t have a planet.
~~Cloudflare~~ Quad9 DNS
For anything else, I guess it depends
I don't use cloudflare for anything. I mean, other sites do, and I can't control that when I visit them, and I'm probably not going to boycott them right away, but it will put them onto my "actively looking for an alternative" list. Meanwhile my own stuff is never going to be behind cloudflare, and yours doesn't need to be either, and eventually with enough "you's" and "me's" we'll have our own cloudflare-free internet and the rest of the corporate bullshit can all go choke to death on its own enshittification.
A good idea is to list which CloudFlare services you use and see what nerds have to say. There's pretty much always a CloudFlare alternative, no matter the product
Yea I currently own all of my domains through cloudflare's registrar and use them for authoritative DNS. Migrating to another registrar and DNS authority sounds pretty annoying.
It's really easy. Just check the documentation for transfers on the source and destination registrars. I used to do this all the time at a previous job.
