Thanks. This is pushing the limits of my current understanding, but unless I’m mistaken, this reads like ‘anyone who chooses may hijack part of your domain at any time if you both use cloudflare’. Sounds crazy.

Sure, there’s alternatives: Aws, Google cloud and Azure all have their own cdns if you want to use those
It’s not that you’re wrong. It’s more that I don’t understand what you’re proposing as an alternative. To add to the comments here pointing out that that’s how CDNs work: for many designs of website, the CDN essentially is the website, being served from a cache by the provider. Even when this isn’t the case, you would normally have a load balancer in front of whatever was serving your website so that if you need to swap out the server for maintenance upgrade, etc. you don’t need to tell who your visitors to go to a different address. In that case, your certificate would be attached to load balancer rather than the server behind it.
If this was a 1990s and I were trying to run my own server on my own hardware in my bedroom, you might have a point, but please explain how you would implement an alternative in any meaningful way today.

Blocking over 300 including ALL town/city communities because they are ALWAYS negative BUT Lemmy Connect also lets me filter (hide) on regex for communities and posts. This is invaluable to me- I was going insane trying to keep up with the arms race of cross posts to identical or near identical named communities on endless new instances.
Posts filter:
/elon musk/, /heathcliff without heathcliff/, /neuralink/, /furry/
Communities filter:
/politics/, /news/, /meme/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/, /moe/, /dank/, /yiff/, /shitty/, /horror/

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do surge protectors continue to draw power from wall sockets even if switched off or if nothing's connected to them?English
111·3 years agoIt didn’t used to be this way, but modern power adaptors are required to implement standby power:
In the past, standby power was largely a non-issue for users, electricity providers, manufacturers, and government regulators. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, awareness of the issue grew and it became an important consideration for all parties. Up to the middle of the decade, standby power was often several watts or even tens of watts per appliance. By 2010, regulations were in place in most developed countries restricting standby power of devices sold to one watt (and half that from 2013).

Technology@beehaw.org•Zoom CEO says workers can't build trust or unite... on ZoomEnglish
14·3 years agoWe keep hearing about ‘productivity’ in this context. Let’s explore that - back in the days when people were 5 days/week in the office, supervisors and managers concentrated on attendance and punctuality. They still could but now they are focusing on being in the office. In both cases these are proxy measures- they don’t directly measure output. What is this ‘productivity’ here? Because the actual verifiable data tells the opposite story

Technology@beehaw.org•Most bosses regret how they mandated workers return to the office. They blamed it on not having enough dataEnglish
5·3 years agoThe example of Amazon’s mandated RTO has been much discussed elsewhere as a notable exception to that company’s normally data-driven approach. As I saw commented elsewhere:
“If we have data to show that mandated RTO is more productive then let’s share and act on that. If we’re going with opinions then let’s use mine”
The elephant in the room here is that ‘the data’ doesn’t exist, and for good reason: ‘Productivity’ is subjective in most jobs to begin with, and even where it isn’t Remote vs Office is not a significant variable.
Consider some ‘traditional’ proxy measures for productivity- punctuality and attendance. It’s pretty clear that if someone isn’t at work then they aren’t productive and many employers will put employees through formal processes to dismissal in response. Why don’t we see this being highlighted with remote work? Should be easy and obvious to measure and demonstrate right? Could it be that these things improve with remote work?
Consider also the pandemic impact on remote work and that we are talking about a return. It’s clear that many organisations could manage perfectly well, as they themselves have proved.
