I was wondering if there was really a good reason for CloudFlare to be used? I understand Lemmy.ca has dedicated hardware in a datacenter. Seems odd to pipe all our data through a US company as we are in a trade war.

I've actually used them at an old day job and quite liked them. I don't know if they still let you provide your own vcl, but it was a great feature.

If we were paying for something, then yeah they'd be on my short list.

Edit: huh. Interesting.... https://www.fastly.com/fast-forward

Edit: Thanks for the well thought out answer. I can appreciate that sentiment.

With regards to the link you had appended, this is also interesting https://www.fastly.com/lp/fediverse/
