@Marielle_W@politicalscience@tanyalokot#Freedomhouse totally belongs in the #hypocrisy dog house. They claim to “Protect a Free and #OpenInternet” and yet their own website is on a repressive exclusive #Cloudflare site. WTF. They actually claim¹ CF can talk about “Internet blocking and the consequences for human rights.” I had a medical emergency & could not access health info because of Cloudflare.
I’m working on lemmy-meter which is a simple observability solution for Lemmy end-users like me, to be able to check the health of a few endpoints of their favourite instance in a visually pleasing way....
Each server would have its own acceptable use policy. Also consider the social detriment of Cloudflare nodes. We could even say @bahmanm has a moral /duty/ to overwork the Cloudflare nodes :)
@Blaze: thanks for pointing out lestat. That’s one of the very few services of this kind to be responsible enough to red-flag the Cloudflare nodes. I hope @bahmanm follows that example; though it could still be improved on.
It’s misleading for any tor-blocking Cloudflare node to have a 100% availability stat just because by design it deliberately breaks availability to a number of users in an arbitrarily discriminatory fashion. lemmy-status.org and lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats do a bit of a disservice by not omitting or flagging #Cloudflare nodes.
They ID and track every website that joins #Cloudflare. It’s a huge effort but those guys are on top of it. A script could check the list of domains against their list. There is also this service (from the same devs) which does some checks:
but caveat: if a non-CF domain (e.g. example.tld) has a CF host (e.g. somehost.example.tld), that tool will return YES for the whole domain.
Manually adjusting availability is a can of worms that I don’t want to open
I would suggest not bothering with any complex math, and simply do the calculation as you normally do but then if a site is Cloudflare cap whatever the calculated figure is to 98%. Probably most (if not all) CF sites would be 100% anyway, so they would just be reduced by 2%. Though it would need to be explained somewhere – the beauty of which would be to help inform people that the CF walled garden is excluding people. Cloudflare’s harm perpetuates to a large extent because people are unaware that it’s an exclusive walled garden that marginalizes people.
The #hvactrainingshop.com link is dead to me (it’s in an exclusive walled garden not openly available to all people [#Cloudflare]). I could not find a replacement link. If anyone has a better source, plz mention it.
