I refuse t believe it stands for anything other than butter filesystem.

That’s like saying Mexico isn’t following EU use of burner phones. The Swiss are not part of the EU, so why are they being compared to them?

Maybe Trump will ban it like Tiktok.

Oh wait.

I’ve heard a lot of ridiculous takes in my time, but IP being a cornerstone that holds up society is some next level bullshit.

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

How do you have “intellectual property” in the first place? It’s absolutely absurd that you can claim ownership of an idea that no longer exists in your mind alone.

It’s different because it hurts their feelings.

So I’ll have another “crime” under my belt, I see. What’re they gonna do, write an angry letter to me about it?

Sure, maybe if that instance is hosted in that specific country. But an instance outside of it doesn’t have to do shit. What is Turkey gonna do if they don’t like something I post? Come arrest me? Fucking let 'em try.

OK, so let them block you. What the fuck is that gonna do? A country wants to get pissy, let them get pissy. And while they’re getting pissy, give the people who live there directions on how to get a VPN and bypass their government and its laws.

I don’t think my IP has ever actually changed, and I never asked for a static one. But that doesn’t really matter, because these days it’s a small matter to dynamically update the IP.

Well, if you were so smart yourself, you would know the Cloudflare certs aren’t for public use. The certs your site uses to communicate with the user are shared among multiple Cloudflare users, and aren’t accessible to anyone but Cloudflare. You can’t generate, revoke, view, or download them. The decade long certs you generate are for communication between your origin server and Cloudflare, they aren’t exposed to the public internet. If you use an Argo tunnel, which many selfhosters do, they’re used for the secure VPN tunnel between yourself and Cloudflare. Since all your traffic comes from Cloudflare, a smart user would whitelist those IPs and ignore web traffic from everything else if they weren’t going to use a tunnel. Even if someone got ahold of them, which is unlikely, they wouldn’t do anyone any good, because they would need access to your Cloudflare account as well to change the origin server.

But then, you aren’t so smart yourself. You’re just some random nobody on the internet that decided to start using their arsehole for speaking. And as is typical in such a situation, everything you say reeks of shit.

Now, do you want to continue embarrassing yourself? Because you’re not hurting my feelings by doing so.

You’re just not a pleasant person, are you? Every time you’ve replied to one of my posts, it’s to be a twatwaffle.

An ignorant twatwaffle, considering you obviously have no idea how Cloudflare certs work. Which ends up making me look like I’m smarter than I really am, so thanks!

Yeah, it’s a huge PITA to just, you know, click the button to generate a new cert and revoke the old one.

You don’t need to put the server in the DMZ, just port forward port 80 and 443. Most routers these days ignore all requests to ports that aren’t open. And stick it behind Cloudflare, so you don’t have to expose your IP. Cloudflare also allows you to generate SSL certs that are good for a decade.
