Within Weeks, Clownflare Has Collapsed Again, Time to Dump Clownflare
As of minutes ago:
All the sites that we've checked in recent minutes (many use "Cloudflare" and advertise that) are "tits-up" because they rely deeply on Clownflare and 500 errors get returned for every request. What a fiasco. They never learn.
Clownflare is down again, but that does not affect us. Sites that use Clownflare won't get links, we'll just skip them all. Their loss.
Live and learn [1, 2], Clownflare is a pile of experimental Rust code. It's run by amateurs who, even if you maintain your site perfectly well, will render it inaccessible without prior notice. "Rust == Politics", argues an associate, "and not Tech".
"Rust is amateur hour from a technical perspective." █
