I think they intend to use one for voiced “th” and another for unvoiced, but they mess up a few times

yeah, I did check dates after, my irony circuits were just too fried when I first read it >.>

It looks like that’s indeed the case, and they’ve been around long enough that Handmaid’s probably wasn’t that well-known at the time. Still, the irony is off the charts… have they considered changing their logo to the traditional four-armed rotationally-symmetric sacred Buddhist symbol? >.>

naming your company fucking “Gilead” is some torment nexus-ass shit

great article, and I had no idea that happened to Brian Krebs, of all people! o.O

I do think the EFF makes a good point though, and I think personally I tend to be biased towards content neutrality over moderation (at least, more strongly the larger the platform is, and Cloudflare is very large). Not to the point of Xitter, obviously, but I think there’s at least a reasonable argument for Cloudflare in this case.

that said, after some searching, I did find the following two articles, and I find their arguments against Cloudflare very compelling:

• https://www.devever.net/~hl/cloudflare
• http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/07/14/cloudflare-we-have-a-problem/

Fortunately I’m already using end-to-end SSL certs via Caddy, but now I’m considering just moving off Cloudflare entirely and instead providing regular backups to Internet Archive–most of the stuff I host is entirely static and very lightweight.
