The hackers just engaged in a little bit of technical debt collecting ;)

Yes. Very slow. And only accessible from tor clients or tor2web/onion.to-like constructions. Which adds additional delay and errors.

There are things for which onion addresses are the right solution. This is not one of them.

It’s very possible. If you carefully manage your attack surface and update your software regularly, you can mitigate your security risks quite a bit.

The main problem is going to be email. I have found no reliable way to send email that does not start with “have someone else do it for you” or “obtain an IP block delegation”.

That sure does seem to tick a lot of boxes. I’m going to check it out!

That’s true. The bizarre paradox of the centralization of edge infrastructure is real.

That said, the other edge-lords (haha) could offer similar functionality, but they chose not to.

I am not sure what that would accomplish.

I have all that, but I still use cf for a ton of stuff.

The trouble with cloudflare is that there is just one. It’s one of the best registrars out there, the only free/cheap and usable DNS host (have you seen what route53 charges per zone??). That without getting into the whole tunnels and DDoS mitigation end of things, which is nearly unique at any price point.

The problem with cloudflare is that we’re missing three other cloudflares to move to if they decide to pull evil shit.

Actual degrees or American fantasy units?

Suddenly I’m reminded of David Cameron.

The solution to that is to buy a net block. IPV6 address space is very affordable.
