This is just it, it can barely handle manage my lighting system. How am I going to trust it to make purchases? Brought to you by the same people who can’t keep fake reviews off their platform.

Nobody expects it to be free. But it used to operate with far less intrusive ads. Also, people didn’t use ad blockers until they got worse.

I haven’t received a ticket for 20 over, that’s extremely reckless.

I haven’t seen anything that meets your requirements.

Is there a chance that you could find an open source keyboard and a translation layer, like a software or an input card? I know it’s not ideal, but worth investigating.

Glad I’m not the only one. My feed is smarter for it.

Website is amazingly responsive as well, seems to be working.

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.

I like how people assume they bought them to make games instead of buying them to eliminate the competition.

They know, they just don’t give a shit beyond short term gains.

How much money has China invested in Africa?

If I had to guess after managing enterprise WAF across hundreds of domains…

It’s either a crowler or vulnerability scanner, and may be scanning by IP address. I don’t think you configured anything wrong.

You may want to add some form of captcha or user agent based filter to get rid of it. Good news is that it’s not necessarily something to worry about.

I’d avoid IP based blocking. It’s only temporarily effective.

It’s not blocked at layer 4 or anything. The website simply geolocates you and denies application access for users geolocated to NC. VPN gets around it fine.

The bigger issue is that plenty of other sites still allow access… So it’s effectively punishing the rule followers.

It’s a trade off between puncture resistance and handling. I personally don’t want to ride these tires or gatorskins. I’ll stick with my continental gp 5000s, and just deal with punctures sometimes. The ride and grip are so much better they’re worth it.

Preach. This is a symptom of a world rapidly going to shit. But hey, we have AI to accelerate the direction we are heading.

The article makes no mention of why the account was frozen in the first place.

I see 803 forks currently, keep up the good work!
