@grishka russian_internet_experience.jpg ? Geoblocking is the worst, Cloudflare or not.

Gregory

@brawaru cloudflare makes it way too easy to set up. Such things should not be made easy, IMO.

Braw β˜•πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

@grishka not really, any such service will provide you an option to geoblock. This is usually for situations like when your site that is never visited by Chinese users suddenly gets a DDoS attack with majority of the attackers coming from China, there's just no loss of value by geoblocking in this case. The problem is just that it's often misused as a measure to block unwanted countries, but making it difficult to use is not a solution as it simply hinders the legit use cases...

@grishka my average experience right now when I’m trying to book a us visa appointment

@grishka the horrors of being Russian and trying to use the internet :/

@ErikUden every time I see one of these or get discriminated in other ways, this song starts playing in my head

@ErikUden
Clarification for those who don't know: this song is meant to be very supporting of the current government and its course. I, of course, use it sarcastically here.

There's also this absolute masterpiece of a parody. "I'm Russian" (я русский) and "I'm narrow" (я ΡƒΠ·ΠΊΠΈΠΉ) sound similar.

@grishka Ahahahah, I fully understood it was a joke. Thanks for the clarification anyway! I love the parody

@grishka I love this thread, please keep it going.

Gregory

@ErikUden I will but I'd rather prefer not having anything to keep it going!

Gregory replied to uis

@uis don't tell them there are hundreds of websites that rehost datasheets for electronic parts, they must be kept believing that them blocking people does something

Gregory replied to Gregory

At least I wasn't blocked and at least I could just click through it.

Gregory replied to Gregory

Because someone visiting from a Russian IP clearly means that they can't possibly have internationally accepted payment methods, right?
