Cloudflare is sooner or later a monopolist in terms of accessing websites. This was foreseeable for years. It just has too much power.
Because it is CDN for many websites or DDOS-Shield it presumably know what websites you visited.
Cite from the privacy policy:
> Our mission to help build a better Internet is rooted in the importance we place on establishing trust with our Customers, users, and the Internet community globally. To earn and maintain that trust, we commit to communicating transparently, providing security, and protecting the privacy of data on our systems.
>We keep your personal information personal and private. We will not sell or rent your personal information. We will only share or otherwise disclose your personal information as necessary to provide our Services or as otherwise described in this Policy, except in cases where we first provide you with notice and the opportunity to consent.
Of course trust with the internet community. The trust means, we have to hope that we can trust Cloudflare with our data and its algorithms.
Another thing is the sharing of our data. It is (currently) not limited to the in the policy named partners. So who knows who gets the data?
A last excerpt:
> Cloudflare processes End Users’ interactions with Customer’s Internet Properties and the Services. This information is processed when End Users access or use our Customers’ domains, websites, APIs, applications, devices, end points, and networks that use one or more of our Services, and when End Users access or use Services, such as Cloudflare Zero Trust. The information processed may include but is not limited to IP addresses, traffic routing data, system configuration information, and other information about traffic to and from Customers’ websites, devices, applications, and/or networks.
"Not limited to" when accessing a "customer website".
To conclude my trust with the name of a Cloudflare product:
> Cloudflare Zero Trust

Some scumbag is using your site (not assuming. they actually linked to this article) to block access to Brave browser users. Zero option to say "yeah I know they did this, now let me see the site already." Just purely malicious. Just wanted to say I appreciate that you put that comment at the end saying not to block access but only use it to display warnings and stuff... Even if someone else with thousands of GitHub stars wants to be a little whiny bitch about it and hurt users for no reason.

Today is 2025-08-08 and the sync issue is still there. After trying multiple approaches and spending days and weeks to find a solution, I am giving up.
The final solution for me is do not use Joplin for Android, which does not synchronize completely (OneDrive) and super slow (GoogleDrive as local file system + addition DriveSync)
It is pity because I really like Joplin, but the sync is a showstopper.

Extremely helpful guide! Helped me get Windows 11 running successfully inside gnome-boxes on my Fedora 41 system. Thank you!

What equipment do you use for the microphoto?
The images aren't exactly good, but better than I could produce...

I love my Roomba! I have named her Honey. I feel like I should sign my Christmas cards, Merry Christmas, Debbie & Honey.

And here are the lines of my updated script, which checks to see if there already exists a static DNS entry with the correct IP address for each active DHCP lease. This avoids the log filling up (and the static RAM being unnecessarily re-written) with static DNS entries being set for DHCP leases which this script had already added on previous runs.
Thank you for the hint in an earlier comment about how to do this.

Thanks man, this is exactly what I was looking for. All the other sites I've come across are dross and don't offer the solution you did. Thanks for existing and rock on!

I learnd the same. FIDO(2) is a very good Idea, but the most of the Services do not have a function to accept more the ONE Key.
