The move to curb access to social media for minors is fine.

If you stop to think about how it will be done, that’s where the problems lie, and that’s where basic functions of democracy (anonymity, transparency, and the right to know where our information is stored) are very much in danger.

Stop pushing the first part of the headline and omitting the rather serious nexts steps and implementation.

I mean, there’s a difference between not gatekeeping when talking about cloudflare and completely waving Cloudflare’s banner on your front lawn.

• Cloudflare has full access to your traffic, and privacy is a very strong motivator for a good chunk of self-hosters.
• You might also be interested in Cloudflare’s unending string of bad actor captcha redirects that Cloudflare inexplicably won’t resolve, for all their 800lb gorilla strength in warding off DOS volumetric attacks.
• Another thing you would think Cloudflare has resolved: captcha hell.

So yeah, I wouldn’t have phrased it the way original comment was phrased, but holy cow, bro… Cloudflare is far from perfect and the people that will have existential problems with Cloudflare are very likely to be self-hosters.

What the self-absorbed hell. Who said this?

Yeah, that’s fine too. I’m being facetious, I don’t actually care that much. I just know B at this point, 30 years later.

Haha, I don’t really know, it just seems easier to remember.

B or death.

So long as my mortal body can pull drops, it will be B. Or you’re fired.

I would have just baked an api call to navidrome in a shell script with an interpreter like js and some bash variable manipulation and called it directly from motd.

For security, you may want to look at vault for secrets management so you don’t have to expose plaintext secrets in your script.

What is your actual message, here?
