I considered deleting this slop, but you guys having way to much fun in the comments :D
I really don't know what you are aiming for...
Concerns about cloudflare becoming an issue are totally valid. Good day.
Yes what's the deal. Because until yesterday I didn't heard about them.
I don't even know what it is. Is it a desktop Linux distribution? Is anyone using it at all?
Some rich dudes pushing money into it. That's all that I know.
OK, if there is a monopolistic instance between you and the rest of the world that decides who can reach you and who not and you are depending on that single monopolistic instance, I think we all agree that this is a bad thing.
Potential threads from this are (but not limited to):
- cloudflare going up in price and you have to take it.
- cloudflare is blocking or restricting access to your page, because of political dispute.
- cloudflare collects meta data to reconstruct user behavior and social relationship and uses it to pressure individuals.
I trink this is rooted in forward thinking. If cloud flare gets a monopoly in that position (what it arguably already has), they can project all the power of a monopoly about us...
So this is more about preventing future problems and not solving problems that exist.
How does anyone come to the idea to built a tool to be used in a federated context and hardcode into it which instances are not allowed to be used with it?
However, this is just one person. Maybe the Dev did not expected anyone else to use it and just but the blacklist into it for personal reasons...
At first I thought it would be a Beetle or something.
Forking is easy. Maintaining the fork is the hard part.
I don't get this... Why do people pre order AAA games? It's like begging for disappointment.
I try to add something to the understand.
Especially in old games, the program code (what happens if you press a button, what happen if your health bar goes to zero...) is often handled in the same memory structure as the game data (sprites, your entered player name, you inventory...) If you glitch a function that should edit a memory block of game data (e.g. reduce the players money or rename a Pokémon) to do it's operation on a program code block instead, you can reprogram the game while you are playing it and even make it a different game.
A different famous example is Super Mario Land. If you glitch trough the level borders the game is displaying all kind of data (game data and program code) as level blocks that you can walk on. Some of those level blocks are distructable, which is setting this memory block to a different value. By carefully destructing the correct blocks, you can change things like how many life's you have. But if you hit a wrong block, the game will potentially crash because you changed the program code to something that doesn't make sense.

Actually, you should aim for a lower ISO to avoid noisy picture.
