    Yeah, absolutely!

    I actually like the change.

    It’s just that it will create a lot of work for us (especially for me and my colleague) short term. I would very much appreciate it if Google actually bothered to give an exact timeline (optimally a few months or a year in advance).

    PSA: All public certificates (private internal certificates won’t be affected) will have a lifetime of only 90 days soon. Google is planning to reduce their lifetime in 2024 but considering that they haven’t given an update on this since early this year, I doubt it will happen this year.

    But it will happen soon.

    This will be a pain in the ass for my workplace because we primarily use Digicert and manually renewing certificates every 90 days is just impossible for use. We are currently looking into a way to switch to letsencrypt or similar.









  • To be fair denuvo is really effective.

    It usually takes a long ass time for denuvo games to get cracked if at all.

    Last I checked there were only two people cracking denuvo, one who only likes football games and one really crazy lady.

    Also the lack of piracy is most important for publishers around launch and that’s reflected in denuvo’s pricing which IIRC increases substantially after a year or two (this is a fairly recent change)

    So more games have started to remove Denuvo after a while after launch.

    Before they changed it, I believe the publishers got to keep Denuvo at no extra cost if they didn’t change the game or something but now it gets more expensive the further from launch you go






  • They didn’t make this too be easy to use. They don’t give a shit about that. That isn’t their job in the slightest.

    They reserved a TLD, that’s all.

    You can use any TLD you want on your internal network and DNS and you have always been able to do that. It would be stupid to use an already existing domain and TLD but you absolutely can. This just changes so that it’s not stupid to use .internal



  • Because that is a different feature.

    And did you notice they call them “mitigation” and not “protection”? 🙂

    Yeah, typo on my part.

    You claim that Cloudflare doesn’t live up to their words. Please cite where in the terms of services it says that the DDOS mitigation is limited on the free plan or sources of free customers being affected by this. Or are you just saying “read the fine print” without having read them yourself and you are just using that as some magic way to win all arguments?

    Anyway, I really don’t understand people’s obsession with DDoS, particularly self-hosting people. The chances of their little website ever being the target of a DDoS are astronomical. Many of them don’t take proper backups, and don’t worry about theft or fire or electric spikes, which are far more likely, but go frantic when they hear about features they’ll never use.

    Yeah, I absolutely agree and I have said that to some in this post. But it’s even more worthless to argue about the free plan. It’s not like some private person is ever gonna be DDOSed so aggressively that Cloudflare would even notice. If an enterprise (like where I work) is in real need of ddos protection they would already be on the enterprise plan or they would be forced to it by Cloudflare.

    I wouldn’t worry about DDOS attacks at all.

    People simply don’t care about whatever small website you plan on hosting. Unless it’s something extremely controversial and you gain a lot of exposure suddenly.

    It’s worth worrying about if you ever get big but until then just forget it.

    I.E. do something about it when/if it happens and not before. A ddos is fairly harmless unless you need to stay up for some reason (and you don’t need to stay up).
