How Google Chrome’s ad blocker works

There’s no cloud services in Jellyfin. You have to set up a VPN on your server, and an account for them on the VPN, plus create a user account for them on Jellyfin. It’s not impossible, but it’s more work.

Trying to preserve part of the Internet is apparently against the rules.

It’s against copyright laws too, unless you get the right holders’ go-ahead first.

Some regional differences, but it’s mostly not allowed with a few exceptions for some institutions.

(Author here.) This is possible, but implausible. I log network traffic and haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. The point of the article was mostly to complain about the lack of information from Cloudflare, though. I don’t know what caused the blockade, and they’re not telling. How am I — as an end-user — supposed to do anything about the situation? I don’t even know what the situation is.

They're a powerful tool that lets you shopt off your foot and half your brains with the same bullet. However, this my router isn't compromised. MikroTik routers can easily be misconfigured to be insecure or misbehave. It's a Cisco clone, so that is the product you're buying.

I don't recommend them to anyone who doesn't enjoy and are familiar with the lower-level intricacies of network operations.

Dear John. What am I — as a normal human being/end-user — supposed to do in this situation? People can’t do anything without any information about why they’re blocked. Who do you contact? Where do you go? What to do? The challenge page doesn’t help the end user understand why this is happening to them. It’s okay if you only see it for two seconds. But the page stays on screen for over a minute. When this happens for every website — what do you do? You’d be furious if this had happen to you. I’m just trying to read my online comics and lookup some stuff about some interests and hobbies. It reduced my quality of life/sanity for a week. The last two days, I started worrying that this was going to be the new normal. I even looked into swapping ISP to get a new IP address.

PS: I love all the innovation and engineering stuff you guys regularly share on the Cloudflare blog. It’s [almost] always an interesting read. Even though I’m no fan of the massive centralization your company has caused.

(Author here.) I am. There’s plenty of accessibility labels in place. It’s literally just the name attributes. No user ever sees this, whether they’re using accessive technologies or not. It only confused bots that assumes that the field named email is for the email address.

(Author here.) That’s missing from the article. But I have logs of the network. There’s nothing out of the ordinary. “I don’t know what I did wrong,” as I started the article, means “I’ve checked logs and such and there’s no indication of anything wrong on my end.”

(Author here.) My router isn’t a domestic router. It’s a MikroTik running RouterOS, completely unsupported by the ISP. Outgoing connections and DNS is logged. UPnP is only allowed for the Xbox, PS4, and off-most-of-the-time gaming PC. Nothing out of the ordinary in the logs.

(Author here.) The estimated savings is roughly 24 Euro/year assuming the AP is completely idle (which it mostly is at night). So, that's the savings from just disabling one of the radios. Europe is currently experiencing an affordable energy shortage. So, everyone is encouraged to cut energy usage. One AP doesn't make much difference, but this change is something almost every AP — residential and business — could make to cut waste. It should probably be a first-time setup question: do you want to save energy by disabling the 5 GHz radio between 23:00 and 07:00?
