I was just reading a Reddit thread about DNS problems and was mildly surprised by the number of respondents claiming Cloudflare is the panacea.
Centralization is a military-grade problem.
Cloudflare is centralization.
Cloudflare, whether you like to think about it or not, is a weak link, a spider's web, a tightrope walker standing on one foot, a wobbly top, a disaster waiting for its time to be revealed.

But far worse is the culture that currently exists, a culture that sees no danger here.

I got quoted in The Guardian again, I guess CloudFlare must have been down or something? :blobcatcoffee:

> “These companies have become too big to not fail. And because they handle so much traffic, when they do fail, this immediately becomes a massive problem”

The infosec hell was never users writing down their password in a post-it stuck to their monitor.

The true infosec hell is developers trusting centralized repositories of "open source" that nobody reads nor audits.

Again I have to battle against devs that, for pure convenience and laziness, put users and the company at the mercy of any random of the internet, with the willing to perform a supply chain attack.
