The past days, one of my websites has blocked 2609 malicious bots, all coming from @cloudflare ips.
Looks like #cloudflare conducts ddos rather than protects against it.

I know Cloudflare sucks, but this is a good idea and probably the way forward with the AI bs.
"Instead of simply blocking bots, Cloudflare's new system lures them into a 'maze' of realistic-looking but irrelevant pages, wasting the crawler's computing resources. The approach is a notable shift from the standard block-and-defend strategy used by most website protection services. Cloudflare says blocking bots sometimes backfires because it alerts the crawler's operators that they've been detected.
'When we detect unauthorized crawling, rather than blocking the request, we will link to a series of AI-generated pages that are convincing enough to entice a crawler to traverse them,' writes Cloudflare. 'But while real looking, this content is not actually the content of the site we are protecting, so the crawler wastes time and resources.'"

Cloudflare open-sources OPKSSH, bringing single sign-on to SSH with OpenID Connect and eliminating the need to manage long-lived SSH keys.

Cloudflare is luring web-scraping bots into an ‘AI Labyrinth’
Rather than block web scrapers, Cloudflare invites them to trawl a web of useless ‘AI-generated nonsense.’

I'm just thinking...
In principle, #Cloudflare could make a lot of money by discreetly selling bypass tokens for their anti-scraping protection to AI corps.
I was having a look at how to offer a CNAME record on the apex (root) of a domain. On #cloudflare that's supported through their CNAME flattening, but I'm wondering how it actually works.
I'm seeing a HTTPS record being created, but the values are rather opaque to me. Not entirely sure how to recreate this at another #dns provider.
