@rolltime CDNs should be forbidden. If a site is slow, thats because the site has too much shit on it. throwing more hardware at it does not fix the problem, quite the contrary in fact.

It's that picture where they build more highway lanes to reduce traffic only only for it to get all clogged up by more traffic again

@float13 @foolishowl @f4grx @rolltime hey! 😈

What if we build LOTS of roads, they'll all be congested, and we line them with billboards encouraging a more earth-friendly lifestyle?

Hmm 🤔 seems like overkill ... but, what's the digital version of that? #stillThinking 🤪

Well except cdns do also protect against DDOS aka stopping malicious cars crashing and blocking the whole street. (yes this is the point where the metaphor breaks apart)
See infosec.exchange/@JessTheUnsti for more information though.

@f4grx @rolltime What alternative would you suggest for say a small/middle-sized company producing content for language learning like PDF, audio, videos, and selling them worldwide (Europe, Brazil, Philippines...)?

@f4grx @rolltime Hardly posdible for a small company to maintain servers all over the world.

@avradi @rolltime this was a hot take, right?

No real problem can b solved by a single sentence. But thats still good to question what we take for granted.
