Might want to short that...

When half of the Internet relies on one central point of failure and they fail big time, then half of the Internet is broken.

At least for me, on 3 systems....You can only get on saidit.net for a few minutes at a time, then you get 30 min+ gap of clicking checkboxes for Cloudflare. Captcha's were annoying, but at least they let you in if you got them right you could continue....

It used to be just for logging in, but since Cloudflare's massive design blunder had been made public, this is the cost of just viewing saidit.net at all. For many countries, saidit.net doesn't even DNS resolve today.

People are deluded to think that Cloudflare is saving them from a massive DDoS right now.....but the DDoS is coming from within Cloudflare. Their vulnerability related to the flawed design of Cloudflare's whole public/private key infrastructure allows anyone with a free Cloudflare key to DDoS Cloudflare "protected" websites.

Cloudflare was warned back in March with a proper security disclosure and had the standard months to act....yet, here we are.
