I hate to use as blunt a word, but some of the things Cloudflare is in a position to do are just evil. Refer here: https://codeberg.org/qorg11/stop_cloudflare/src/branch/master/readme/en.md
I understand it has legitimate uses as a CDN, but you need to have a site with a lot of traffic and a lot of heavy content (images, videos) for that to be a useful selling point. I've not had need to look into alternative CDNs.
For doing dynamic DNS, I use https://freedns.afraid.org/. They let you use subdomains for free, and you can register your own domain name with them. They have a web front-end to manage your subdomains, DDNS, etc. All the knowledge it requires is to navigate web pages, and paste commands into 'crontab -e'.
Bear in mind, as a disclaimer, this is just what I use. Others will disagree. Some will tell you just to use Tor and circumvent DNS entirely.

Having a quick look just now via search engine, I can see plenty of articles coming up peddling Cloudflare alternatives. That should be enough to compare the pros and cons involved. Honestly, anything that doesn't make people enable JavaScript and fill out captchas would be fine.
>(non-intrusive) analytics are nice
I do mine via shell scripting on my nginx log file. The logs are rotated out after 3 days, so nothing remotely identifiable is kept for long. It keeps everything wholly on my server, and all it contains before being rotated out is IPs (spoofable), user-agents (spoofable), and GET requests.

I'm regularly behind Tor, or otherwise a proxy, and I have JavaScript disabled across the board. See pic related, it can't even load the captcha because JavaScript is disabled. It's sad to watch.

Still blocked for me. I assume they are looking at user-agents. Rather than use Tor Browser for day-to-day, I use Qutebrowser with a SOCKS proxy. I have spoofed a generic Mozilla user-agent, but perhaps that isn't enough.
I may try using the latest user-agent for Tor Browser, I'll pull it with a script. If anyone knows where I could reliably pull it from, let me know, I'll be looking.
>a lot of "threats" cloudflare reported were probably Tor user
Yeah, as far as I've heard, a lot of the reported threats are nonsense.

Great site, added you. I've seen your site before, I recall it as being neohex.xyz in the past. Consider adding the ring locally given the chance.
Also feel I should warn you, I was meandering around, and several Git links under Porjects 404 on my end.

Added you, glad you de-Cloudflared. I'm quite fond of your site.

I may have just found it through trawling the internet, I wouldn't be sure whether or not I found it through Lainchan specifically at this point. It is a pretty distinctive-looking site.
I've started to notice two "schools" of web design around this particular neighbourhood of the internet. There's a 'Fauux' camp, and a 'Systemspace' camp, of course with some overlap.
My site takes a degree of unashamed inspiration from Fauux. I've seen Angus Nicneven's site, Terminal00, which takes Fauux's style to its logical extreme. Yours looks much closer to Systemspace, and I can see from your links this was intentional (incidentally I was member #6 at Systemspace, was bored and curious at the time, didn't do much with it). I've seen some imageboards and other sites use the scanline effect you're using, Wired-7 and VHSchan come to mind.
I don't have a point in saying all this, I just find it interesting to observe these trends in design over the past several years.

I haven't yet! I set the Cloudflare security thing to "bare minimum" (lowest you can go) and am in the process of searching for an alternative CDN right now.
I'm still new to WebDev, will FreeDNS not like that I serve over a 100gb per month because of LainPack? It's just a rar file.

I think both Fauux & Systemspace are among the more popular examples of a style that is just different enough from what the mainstream web has to offer, their themes are severely underused as well so there's a lot of room for experimentation. I think most call them "lainsites" since it's perhaps the main underlying inspiration for both, whatever the case there's a certain unique charm to the concept I really enjoy.
It's a shame how we were hyped up to believe that someday we would adopt the cyberpunk aesthetic into our own technology just to end up with lame pastel colors and rounded buttons.

Was just about to say I realised I may have mislead you: afraid.org is not a content delivery network, if that's what you're looking for. The files would be uploaded directly from your server, if you were using afraid.org alone. It's just DNS and dynamic DNS, packaged with free subdomains and some useful tools.
That being said, it's a larger, more reliable service than their old-school website would suggest. Their stats claim to process over 300 million queries daily.
Well, glad you worked something out, at least I'm not being barred from accessing your content any more.

I was tempted to go all-out at one point, in regards to the CSS. It's very easy. I thought of doing something with digital snow, but floating upwards, and with parallax - with or without the scanlines also. I tried it, but I found the processor usage unforgivable (yes, I did optimise it to additionally utilise the GPU).
Granted, I have an old machine, but I'd like my site to be usable for as many people as possible.
>there's a lot of room for experimentation

Cyberpunk is an attitude - live cheap, have a living space in dire need of a repair job, work nocturnally, use salvaged hardware, customise your software, and subsume yourself in wires. Not that I can relate, of course.
Anyone that self-proclaims to be a cyberpunk, however, can, should, and will be subject to scrutiny.

Thank you, I like keeping it simple and as fast as possible to load up on people's devices. The x220 is a decent laptop, and I got a dock for it as well. Probably the only laptop I've ever been able to take apart and put back together in under 30 minutes. The RSS feed is mostly for showing updates on the site, but I'm hoping to use it more. The x200 seems more functional btw, not big on the touchpad on my x220. Trackpoint purity ftw.

Yes, I'm very fond of mine, it's a cute laptop. Great for portability, which was useful as I was doing a lot more travelling before 2020. Weighs less than a couple of pounds without the battery.
It's the first laptop I've had I've cared enough about to take apart every few months, look over, and clean.
And on a minimal Linux install, a Core 2 Duo and up to 8 GB of DDR3 is more than you'll ever need.
>Trackpoint purity ftw.

I only use a mouse if I'm ever doing heavy image manipulation work, say for an hour or more, for fear of carpal tunnel. Trackpoint is functional for anything lesser.

I just don't like using mice because they get in the way of typing more. I ended up buying a trackpoint included lenovo usb keyboard just to try to minimize the usage of the mouse as well as hotkeys to move windows around my dual monitor setup. I'm almost entirely convinced the mouse is just a meme device that it took Steve Jobs to steal it from Xerox to justify people in buying one.

the one line per paragraph is a valid point, and i hope it will be addressed in the near future (especially since gemini blew up recently)
but the whole point of a text based internet is no images lol gopher has been around for decades and no one has ever complained about it being text only

>lol gopher has been around for decades
That's something I've wondered about - sage both for off-topic, and because I don't know what I'm talking about - what makes Gemini different?
I did a quick read up, and read the Gemini thread on here, so to avoid spilling the soykaf. As far as I know, Gemini has the advantage of being encrypted as standard, where Gopher is plaintext (which is not enough) and is unlikely to ever support something like TLS. Although, I think you can get around this with SSH tunneling or Tor - and I might prefer to do so, since Gopher has more support in existing browsers I already use regularly (for example, Lynx).
I've thought about making a Gopher before, when I have more free time. I might be sold on Gemini if there's more to it than just the fact it is encrypted, and being purposefully inflexible.

I think gemini is like kicking dead whales down the beach (https://kill-9.xyz/harmful/software/gemini)
Gopher is not plain text, it supports html files and all of that, see gopher://qorg11.net
And well, about SSL, you're right, it doesn't, being realistic, as long as your son is not an ebin gombuder hagger :DDD you'll be safe without TLS things. but yeah you can always make a .onion as i did

>Gopher is not plain text
Ah, I meant that in the sense that it's not encrypted, I should have used clearer language. I'm aware Gopher can serve basically any file. As a side note, I'm quite fond of the idea of serving content with an explicit directory structure, just seems intuitive to me.
I like encryption as a general principle, that, and I know far too many people on a personal level that could use a cleartext site against me, even if it was just as a joke.

.onion or .i2p then, or weird things with ssh/socat

I've been playing around with AbuseIPDB's API to block botnets in iptables recently, and more than likely your exit node was recently used to brute force someone's SSH or something dumb like that, so it got blocked. I haven't implemented filtering out the Tor exit nodes from the blocklist the API gives me yet

Hm, I suppose that's true, I'll see when I get around to it. If all else fails and I'm still intent that I want to set up a Gopher, I could just use an onion address.
As it is my HTTP sites work fine in text based browsers, although the layout doesn't translate to text as well as it could. It would be good to have something better suited for that environment.

I was busy removing stuff from my website, as well as soykaf like online exams and I haven't posted here since my last post on the
previous thread. So here's my updated version of the webring.

Gemini is basically Gopher 2. Gopher isnt in active development anymore (although it still gets use), and therefore it won't be able to keep up with growing security standards.
Gemini is in active development, and while it says it wants to be a "middle-ground" between gopher and https, it's really just a successor to Gopher, which is fine. I really like plaintext, but I don't think its going to replace https. It's really only going to find use in hobbyists (although it would be badass if it doesn't!)
