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’m sold on the sales pitch for it, but deflect.ca resolves to a Hetzner box in their Washington DC datacenter. I have a 112 ms ping to it from Toronto.

    How do you sell a CDN when your own website is hosted out of the country at a PoP that’s that far away?
