#832Interestingly, also noticing that websites that use Cloudflare Challenge (aka "I'm not a Robot") are also throwing exceptions with a message as "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed" - even though it's just responding with an HTTP/500.

#838ChatGPT is Down. What will LinkedIn posters ever do?
I can now imagine a scenario where everyone has become so dependent on the AI tool that it going down could turn into an unanticipated black start event for the entire internet.

#839What would the Internet's architecture have to look like for DDOS'ing to be a thing of the past, and therefore Cloudflare to not be needed? I know there are solutions like IPFS out there for doing distributed/decentralised static content distribution, but that seems like only part of the problem. There are obviously more types of operation that occur via the network -- e.g. transactions with single remote pieces of e…
Built it into the protocol that you must provide bandwidth in order to have your requests served. A bit like forcing people to seed torrents.
