Don't use Cloudflare, they've done enough damage to the Internet with their centralized bs without you needing to further reward them by handing over all your DNS data.

I agree. Modern day man-in-the-middle attack via a corporate entity. Rationalized as a protection racket.

HN loves cloudflare. The majority here aren’t of the ethos of the distributed internet of days of old, it’s the “how can I monetise this hustle” ethos. Sad really.

Tata Communications in India was the one that apparently caused the outage.
