Europe generates ~20% of revenue for US big tech which is a large part of its stock market. With how precariously coupled US growth is to these companies, it absolutely needs that market.

Would love a time trial mode
Thanks for the pointer, not doubting that is true. My egress is unfortunately too large for it to make financial sense.
However, at the time I did plenty of trace routes to confirm that the Pro plans peering is at least better than the Free plan for the Telekom problem. Free plan would route traffic to NYC and back, while Pro plan traffic terminates in Frankfurt.
It indeed is. Support answer:
This feature is currently in the closed beta stage. It is not available for use currently, but it's expected to be in the near future. We appreciate your interest in it and will mark your ticket so we can notify you when it's available.
A couple of reasons:
- The free CDN is basically unusable with my ISP Telekom Germany due to a long-running and well documented peering dispute. This is not necessarily an issue with Cloudflare itself, but means that I have to pay for the Pro plan for every domain if I want to have a functioning site in my home country. The $25 per domain / project add up.
- Cloudflare recently had repeated, long outages that took down my projects for hours at a time.
- Their database offering (D1) had some unpredictable latency spikes that I never managed to fully track down.
- As a European, I'm trying to minimize the money I spent on US cloud services and am actively looking for European alternatives.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I was pretty excited to bring stuff over from Cloudflare but the missing S3 compat. and the communication around that was (and still is) a dealbreaker for me.
I fail to see what is damning here. What would you even hold a referendum on? Independence? Replacing the arrangement with Denmark with whatever unclear arrangement the US is proposing?
If you trust independent polls, you can get a pretty clear picture of where Greenlanders stood as of Feb. 2025:

Danish citizenship or independence are overwhelmingly favored over US citizenship in these polls. And for independence, only really if it does not affect living standard too bad. And there, it's hard to imagine the US being able to match Denmark's social security system...
Down again
If this was the case, why have a public telegram group then? Why ridicule members and air drama?
Sounds more like a fetish basement than a garden to me.
I would normally second this, but the Trump admin did order a suspension of offensive cyber operations against Russia in March. So not sure you can truly rule out malice in this case.
There is a long-standing dispute between Cloudflare and Germany's biggest ISP, Telekom, which results in terrible peering for Cloudflare free traffic for Telekom customers here. Sites on the Cloudflare Pro plan are not affected by this somehow.
If the author is a Telekom customer, then they would absolutely see 100ms+ improvements.
NTS is awesome!
rateyourmusic.com has great yearly charts and genre charts and the best granular genre tags on the internet. If you like an album or artist, going through the charts related to their genre tags very often finds me a lot of great music.
The second thing that has proven indispensable for me are recommendations from "peers" on private music torrent trackers. I found a few people where I know that if they recommend something, even if it's a genre I don't listen to frequently, chances are I will like this as well. This spawned a lot of fun music adventures.
This seems to have been edited already, it's missing some ad hominem attacks and the recommendation to see a therapist which were definitely present when this article was linked.
Thanks for the links, appreciate it!
I guess we are two then, I feel the pretty much the same way as you. I might be completely wrong about all this, but it is getting to a point where it feels like I'm getting gaslit when I compare it with my own experience with these tools so far.
Which scanner app are you using?
How much overhead can you expect when executing code as a garbled circuit? Is there a limit to the amount of instructions before using garbled circuits becomes impractical?
It's very funny to me that these packages exist while one of his bigger projects (https://github.com/enquirer/enquirer) lists the following reason under "why use it":
Lightweight - Only one dependency, the excellent ansi-colors by Brian Woodward.
a use case, finally!
It's a shame to hear that. Send was a very good product that saw adoption in my circle, especially among creatives. It was used to share files with clients and replaced WeTransfer for some. I believe a monetization strategy among those lines could have been successful.
If you are looking for something that is probably not a scam, there is a UN citizen platform for carbon offsets. [0] FWIW the platform is supported by a number of major corporations including Microsoft. [1]

thanks for the shameless plug, I was looking for exactly this the last time I tried making a habit out of reading RSS feeds.
