#ReverseProxies live at the busiest, most fragile point in modern infrastructure.

⇨The real lessons❓ Hidden costs, mundane failures, human factors at scale.
⇨ The solutions❓ Keep the common path lean. Validate assumptions. Design for humans under stress. Aim for both resilient & boring - the ideal state for any production system.

Hi, is v.o.t.v. still cloudFlare? If so would you mind if we asked what amount of donations would be able to protect your service off cloudflare, possibly in a self host scenario?

We will gladly lobby any followers who might be in the UK to help you out. It is in *everyones* interest to push the #reverseProxies off the web, forever.

To be fair, they will hold onto the cloudare, amazon and akamai honeypots for as long as they possibly can. So the cyberattacks will likely affect everything under the sun but not point directly to the #reverseProxies for the forseeable future.

"We see you are spreading falseNarratives. Let us analyse who is reading your concoctions. What fabulous #gatewayContent. If they believe it they are sure to buy this here #koolaid we are also selling for $5.95. Postage is FREE."

#Prison is a deterrent against future #antiTrust cartels like #CAGFAM.

Here's a question: would you say that #reverseProxies are a #naturalMonopoly, there's only a few in the world, right?

How did #Cloudflare and #Cloudfront secure such dominant positions in that space? Real ingenuity or connections to power? Cloudflare seems to be a beneficiary of #wallStreet bailouts during the #GFC.

What to do with #NaturalMonopolies? They must be owned by #thePeople.
