I really dont like this centralization of the internet into a few gigantic companies having every site under their wings. And then something goes wrong and millions of web sites are affected.
It also gives these companies the power to shut down any of their user sites.
On the other hand, handling a ddos attack is hardly possible without them these days.
In the age of AI we now live in there’s more money in data centres than sense, and both venture capital backed businesses and malicious actors (am I repeating myself?) can cast stupidly wide nets.
That said I want to see more alternatives to cloudflare, like a Euro option.
This was just posted elsewhere as a Euro alternative. Bunny.net
it will be the same problem, just less monopoly.
Right, but more diversity of providers will reduce the exposed risk profile from both unintentional and intentional disruption.
