Thank you for the link. Do you have a Cloudflare on first page of HN alert? And will Cloudflare Tunnel stay free and included for free accounts?

I have code that monitors Hacker News comments for mentions of various things (including cloudflare, my username). It runs once a minute and uses https://hn.algolia.com/ to find new comments. I actually saw this was on Hacker New via Twitter. https://blog.cloudflare.com/tunnel-for-everyone/

Genuine question; I’ve got a static IP (v4) to my only server that I run at home. Are there any real benefits I gain to using tools like this one (or Tailscale et al)?

> By the end of this post, you'll be able to run: ssh $machine_name from anywhere ... a service by Cloudflare ... will filter traffic to your machines through Cloudflare's network, including authenticating you ... your machines won't directly be exposed to threat actors and "1337 haxors".

Won't they be exposed to CloudFlare?

CloudFlare CEO has personally said:

that the company may be required to hand over data to the NSA, and would not be able to tell clients/users about it.

You can get virtual server for $4/month. Installing proprietary software and registering to some service, that may "upgrade" to premium tier anytime, is pretty off-putting.

Why use a virtual server if you want to connect to your home network?

I have IPv6 at home with port 22 opened for one of my home server's IP's. But my work internet connection does not have IPv6 at all (lol) so I use one of my VPSes as a jump host.

That license doesn't allow modifications, which is what pull requests are. The forking thing is only about making copies, not modifications.

I suppose you can modify the code, but not use it (compile) as such?

Neither copyright law nor the license allow modification, so probably not.

Can we stop posting stuff that makes even more people give the keys of their house to the BigCorp cartel?

Most people here work for BigCorp cartel or aspire to do so

That's unfair! Many of us also own stock in them.

I'd take a big pay cut to work for a co-op, green energy focused or other social/ecological good company. I just don't wanna work for a startup.

Uh, so I just realized how we are discussing how developers submitting pull requests to this project with this license are basically demonstrating publicly performance art style that they've broken copyright law. Or we give the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not testing their changes at all.
