Using Cloudflare after Christchurch
by Peter Lambrechtsen
I don't think this question has been asked but I think it's worth asking.
After the Christchurch attacks and the fact that Cloudflare clearly support
terrorist and white supremacist sites has there been any consideration on
if peering or engaging with Cloudflare is something that providers no
longer wish to participate in.
Or there isn't a sense of morality when it comes to the internet.
Cloudflare have a LONG history of not caring about any and all vile
material and have absolutely no intention to do anything about it from the
engagements I have had with them post Christchurch.

To me they are clearly supportive of all sorts of vile content and have
zero interest in doing anything about it while they still earn money.
Has the horrific events of Christchurch given anyone pause to think if they
want to engage with Cloudflare?
Are morals important when running a service?.

decent SOHO switches?
by Richard Hector
Hi all,
I hope this isn't too far off topic.
What's available in the way of managed switches (at least including
802.1q VLANs) at a suitable price for a small office?
The (8-port) one I bought 4 years ago, even at the time the https ui
didn't work, because browsers had stopped supporting old certs or
ciphers or something. I raised it with the wholesaler, who raised it
with the manufacturer - no new firmware ever came out. I couldn't load
my own cert onto it either.
Is there anything better around, at a reasonable price?
I'm not keen on what I understand is the cisco model either, where you
have to maintain a support contract to get any updates.
Stretching even further - I don't suppose there's anything out there
with fully Free (as in freedom) firmware? Does SDN give us that?
Feel free to reply off-list if you don't want to promote (or disparage)
your suppliers (or self) in public :-)
Cheers,
Richard
