I don't understand why we always assume bad faith. I wish more companies were like Cloudflare actually - trying to balance the need of revenues while trying to do good for internet and open source as a whole. As a normal user with a few sites, I'm glad they provide what they provide to block bots, attacks and everything AI.

If you're on a Residential IP, and your IP gets refreshed, like, every day, it's possible that one of the IP has been flagged.

Cannot blame CloudFlare for that; they have an obligation to try protect the users of their CDN.

I’m skeptical. Cloudflare clearly wants to move us to a future where only approved browsers are allowed to access the web. People have been fiercely debating whether that’s a terrible thing, or whether that’s the least bad practical solution on offer for website owners. I don’t want to make a judgement on that, but I don’t think the observation that CF is pushing us in that direction is very controversial. But an ind…

CloudFlare is in the CDN business.

If CloudFlare gatekeeps who can access their CDN, then people will move to a different CDN. Because people want their websites to be accessed by as many people as possible.

Your statement does not compute.

The hype around Omarchy is just insane.. It is not an installer script (anymore), so instead you have to download a 7GB ISO file (in the name of 'good UX') that ships with Zoom, Spotify, Hey, Basecamp, Steam, Minecraft (??), etc. but you still end up using the same package mirrors (arch's). If it was an install script, like LARBS or many others (before and after omarchy), I'd (almost) get it. If it was a derivative d…

The hype around Rails is just insane. It's not just a few libs (anymore), so instead you have to download hundreds of gems (in the game of 'good dev ex') that ships with activsupport, and ORM, ERB and even pushes an app architecture on you but you still end up using ruby. If it was just a few things like sinatra and sequel I'd (almost) get it. If it was a fork of another project like Merb I'd (almost get it) but this…

Isn't that just Ubuntu?

Way, way better than Ubuntu. And it adheres to *NIX philosophy by making all the config editable via text files.

What exactly in the UNIX philosophy says configs should be editable via text files? It specifically talks about CLI tools using plaintext for their I/O to allow piping commands - not about configuration.

But why would anyone use Omarchy (based on Arch) and not use Gentoo directly? Not a separate project based on Gentoo, but a Gentoo Reference System [1]? Gentoo already has all dev tools installed - they're an indispensable part of the package manager. [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:RelEng_GRS

Why bring up Gentoo at all?

Because

I too hate when companies sponsor open source projects.

You can disagree with someone politically and still work with them. It happens all the time in the real world unless you're someone so mentally ill that you cannot fathom different ideas (like actual nazis did wink).

Calling anyone who is conservative or with whom you happen to disagree with a "nazi" is disingenuous and in current times probably dangerous since there is a lot of crazy people preaching the "it's ok to punch a nazi".

I feel like quoting that classic hn comment reaction to the release of Dropbox. Why do we need this good experience? We already have ftp!

You mean the one where the commenter was respectful and helpful and had a productive conversation, just like HN encourages? Every time you mention that comment in a bad light, you worsen dang’s day. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27068148

Thank you, this is my pet peeve as well

It's called the "Rule of Textuality", a component of which is: "Store data in flat text files." This principle recognizes that text files are human-readable, easily editable with any text editor, version-controllable, and can be processed by standard UNIX tools.

Verify, it doesn't do any kind of locking down itself.
