I'm all fairness, nobody should be using fuming nitric acid unless absolutely necessary.

At least you didn't catch on fire. It likes to do that too.

Mint with cinnamon desktop is where it's at for ease of use.

Don't give them ideas.

I don't see this information anywhere in the article. Where are you getting this?

The car is a C8 Corvette Z06... They're not that expensive (comparatively), but they deliver Ferrari performance at that price.

Assuming #1 is them selling your genetic information?

Yeah, exactly. I was about to say flatpak exists and isn't proprietary.

Also, the snap for docker/compose is hot garbage.

Giant shirtless executioners then, I guess.

They absolutely should have outlined a traffic limit for the $250 a month plan. That's on Cloudflare for allowing it.

That said, if you make wildly excessive use of that loophole it probably shouldn't surprise you if they do something like this. They called it "trust and safety" because it allows them to do anything they want under the guide of security.

Really, they didn't define their service clearly and wanted to fire them as a customer unless they paid up for what they felt they were owed.

Realistically, this is why you pay for Akamai. You don't get these shenanigans.

How the fuck were they still on a $250 dollar a month plan when they pumped through $2000 a month worth of traffic? That's shady on the companiy's part and Cloudflare shouldn't have allowed it to happen in the first place.

Each party played their part here and did shitty things. Sounds like the tech equivalent of a crackhead arguing about selling stuff to the pawn shop employee.

As an operator, this who thread reads like a bunch of devs who don't understand networking and refuse to learn.

Sure, for smaller applications or small dev teams it doesn't make sense. But for so many other things it does.

The Mozilla Foundation does such important work to ensure standards across the Internet, and keeping the monopolies on their toes. This is another shining example of just that.

Quantifying monopolistic behavior from major tech companies is important. This needs to be documented before changes can happen.
