I'm glad that @GMMKE seems to be working again. My plan for a while was to move it off of #pipedream and onto #cloudflare workers. That's something that would need to wait for a few weeks, though.

Worked for like the whole weekend and yesterday on a #minio roll-out on my private #kubernetes cluster using #HELM.

Installed Operator and Tenant. Services worked. Ingress threw terrible SSL/TLS-related exceptions.

Tried it several times in different ways. Removed the whole ingress part. Rolled out ingress "by hand".

Nothing. All the time, the same exceptions.

Damned MinIO.

And then went over to #Cloudflare and deactivated the DNS Proxy for the domain.

Well. Ehm. Worked.

🤦‍♂️😜🙈

OK, this is early hours yet... but after enabling cloudflare and confirming that it was handling DNS for my website, I've posted two links to my https://alberniweather.ca website and the website has not died. *Knocks on wood* Including this one
Edit: Nope, I could post from my @alberniweather account and it survived, but posting from this account killed the website. 503. Damn.

So, #GitLab has decided to become completely unusable, by showing this #Cloudflare "prove that you're human" screen and then redirecting back to it in an infinite loop.

It is stunning with how #enshittification does nothing to convince me to change my habits (it's probably due to the pi.hole), and I just decide not to use that site ever again.

Obwohl ich bei #STRATO mehrere Domains in unterschiedlichen Paketen liegen habe, bleibt die maximale Anzahl meiner Sub-Domains auf insgesamt 10 begrenzt. Das ist zwar total Banane, aber der Support will mir höchstens teurere Pakete verkaufen.

Früher habe ich meine Domains mal über die Nameserver von #Cloudflare verwaltet – da ist die Anzahl der Subdomains natürlich unbegrenzt. Da ich Cloudflare aber nicht mehr nutzen wollte, nutze ich wieder die Nameserver von STRATO.

Gibt es da Alternativen?

I currently rely on #Cloudflare to add a hostname (for my service) pointing to my router, then my router having port forwards set up to point to a reverse proxy (#Ingress) on my home environment, which then routes/points to my actual service hosted on my #Kubernetes cluster.

In this setup, I assume I have one reverse proxy, an internal one which is
#Nginx Ingress. I heard it's recommended for you to also use an external reverse proxy as well such as CF, which I assume is done by configuring the A/AAAA records to be "Proxied" instead of "DNS Only". Will this work in my setup, as simple as that?

Cos atm, trying that, sometimes I can get thru to my service, sometimes I won't. Moments when it does get thru though, I suspect that's only bcos my DNS during the time of request was pointing to the old endpoint, my router, instead of CF's proxy. Man, I suspect
#networking is harder than black magic.

I've only been using #CloudFlare out of necessity for my two #VPS instances. My plan was always to drop it as quickly as I could, but work and life tends to get the priority.
Today I finally sat down to configure #fail2ban to work with my #Gitea (running inside a #Docker #container on #Debian), one of the things I had to do to make this switch possible.
As a nice side effect, response times to this VPS from my home internet dramatically dropped, from ~890ms to just ~38ms. Quite the difference.

Graph showing the response times over the past ~5 hours or so. The average response time was shown to be around 890 milliseconds, but around 3:15pm dropped to around 38 milliseconds.

Note: this may not be in the exact order. If the order to any of this is important, feel free to point that out.

1. I've added to
#Cloudflare, to my zone (domain), the hostname foo pointing to my network's public IP.

2. I've deployed everything you'd need including MetalLB (which determines the dedicated Ingress private IP), nginx-ingress (type set to LoadBalancer instead of NodePort), and cert-manager (with both HTTP/DNS clusterissuers). If you want to take a peek at how I've deployed/configured them, more details are on here:
https://github.com/irfanhakim-as/orked.

3. I've added
foo.domain to the closest thing resembling to a DNS server that I have, PiHole, pointing to the dedicated Ingress private IP.

4. I've set my router's only DNS server to the PiHole's IP.

5. I've set all my Kubernetes nodes' (Masters and Workers)
DNS1 to the Router's IP (DNS2 set to Cloudflare's, 1.1.1.1).

6. I've created a port forwarding rule for HTTP on my router with 1) WAN Start/End ports set to
80, 2) Virtual Host port set to its nodePort (acquired from kubectl get svc -n ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-controller -o=jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}' i.e. 3XXXX), 3) Protocol set to TCP, and 4) LAN Host address set to the dedicated Ingress private IP.

7. I've created a port forwarding rule for HTTPS on my router with 1) WAN Start/End ports set to
443, 2) Virtual Host port set to its nodePort (acquired from kubectl get svc -n ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-controller -o=jsonpath='{.spec.ports[1].nodePort}' i.e. 3XXXX), 3) Protocol set to TCP, and 4) LAN Host address set to the dedicated Ingress private IP.

8. I've deployed a container service, and an Ingress for it, using LE's DNS validation clusterissuer.

Current result:

- Cert-manager creates a certificate automatically and is in a
Ready: True state as expected.

- The subdomain (
foo.domain) however remains unreachable, no 404 errors, no nothing. Just "The connection has timed out" error.

- Describing the container service's ingress (
foo.domain), shows that it's stuck at "Scheduled for sync".

#Kubernetes and #Networking experts - please tell me what I've done in any of this that were either wrong or unnecessary, or what I'm currently missing here for me to reach my goal of being able to get my container accessible via foo.domain through that Ingress. I suspect that I might be doing something wrong with this whole DNS mess I literally cannot fathom. I feel like I'm insanely close to getting this thing to work, but I fear I'm also insanely close of blowing up my brain.

Just a VERY important tidbit (somewhat alluded to in the comments) We had S3 working without the S3_ALIAS_HOST variable. But without it, #Mastodon kept including the bucket name in the path. Set it to your subdomain.domain.com/bucket_name and it works!

Cloudflare has broken their "security check" widget for Firefox (120 at least) when you've got protection against fingerprinting enabled.

I had to use Chromium to log in to GitLab because of this. It's IE6 all over again. Thanks Cloudflare!

The "security check" is actually DDOS prevention looking for bots. Which frequently just run in browsers/Electron these days.

#internet #cloudflare #firefox #gitlab #thisiswhywecanthavenicethings

Why don't we just build Fediverse software that's inherently resilient against DDOS instead of allowing #Fasly or #Cloudflare to encircle us and reassert centralized control and censorship?

Ditto for "centralized" Masto hosting.

And eventually ditto for corporate controlled cloud services.

Self-hosting and community-hosting is the only way (edit: "only" is a bit hyperbolic) to be free of #TechnoFascist capture.

Public libraries could each offer a tiny slice of cloud services that summed together encompass a platform as resilient and wide as AWS is now. That's one of the possibilities I've been imagining and low-key getting myself motivated to talk with someone at my local branch library about. Someone has to already be working on this I also imagine.

@blacklight The linked article is in #Cloudflare & I can’t be bothered with the hoops, but after reading your comment it seems you’re overlooking something--

When people migrate to an EV their fossil-fueled car is not removed from the street. You propose taxing them off the road. Fair enough, but it’s important to realize the old cars are all being shipped to #Africa anyway where they continue emissions for many decades more. The average age of a car bought in Africa at the time of purchase is 21 years old.

People buy EVs in total ignorance of this. Of course they sell their old car because they’re not going to throw away value. Then it’s merely out of sight → out of mind. Their #EV purchase only adds factory emissions & lithium problems to the lifetime of GHG their current car will still continue emit (wherever it ends up). It’s disgusting that they think they’re doing right by the environment. Emissions in Africa burn the planet just as well as that in Netherlands.

It’s a greenwash. Keeping the fossil-burner is actually better than buying a new EV.

IMO this is the best move: *convert* your gas burner into an EV. That gives you a gas burning engine left over.. why not make that into an emergency backup power generator which will rarely run? Then sell the EV and get a bicycle.

- Even if the "redundant" setup *did* work (it didn't), all three locations would be physically within *the same earthquake zone*

This is absolute clowncar level network administration, frankly, for something the size and importance of Cloudflare.

Please, tell your friends to stop relying on CloudFlare.

Why?

1) It's an intercepting proxy. All traffic is logged and shared (sold) to third parties - mainly the feds,

2) CF can inject a malicious payload,

3) CF adds unnecessary captcha to, inc but not limited to, privacy-aware visitors (VPN, TOR), or block them completely,

4) the internet is basically unusable with CF blocking browser addons,

5) If CF goes down, your website will go down, too. And yes, it does happen.

So, today I deployed the 2nd microservice that I had split out from our monolith.

I’m a big believer in avoiding complications, so how did I know I needed microservices?

Both of these were aspects of our app that needed independent scaling from the rest of the app: while the main app scales quite predictably with user growth, these two services see huge fluctuations in usage, regularly increasing and decreasing 10-fold or more in a matter of hours, and without warning.

It also helped that these are logically quite self-contained, without strong dependencies on the state of the application.

Ultimately these two microservices now run on CloudFlare Workers, allowing near infinite scale, and geographic distribution, which is fantastic!

CloudFlare has enabled Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) for all free plans. The new privacy feature makes it impossible for Internet providers to track which websites subscribers visit. As a result, it also renders pirate site-blocking efforts useless, if both the site and the visitor have ECH enabled.
