r_schestowitz""I'm unclear on what we "need" solar powered RFID tags for. Tracking pets? Wild animals? When I think "RFID", I think of passive tags embedded in packaging to track products.

r_schestowitzIf you want to make a solar powered BLE beacon instead of using cheap coin cells that you're supposed to recycle, to be more "green", go for it, but calling them RFID tags only makes them sound even creepier.Oct 09 05:05

schestowitzi think if you cant have more than one interface to choose from, something has gone wrong with free software. the position of the fsf, at least stallman, was that if it had gnome that was all it needed. i think i found a quote that says something VERY CLOSE to that in an old mailing list email.Oct 09 18:45

schestowitzWhat the client has requested to be performed?Oct 09 20:24
schestowitzThe client encounters problems because its site relies on CloudFlare for centralised content distribution or caching. They are in effect outsourcing the delivery of all objects, including pages, to a company which is not their Web host. There are several upsides and several downsides. Primarily, for the client, this means that under heavy load they can still cope and deliver pages with relatively low-performance and cheaper hosting plan. Oct 09 20:24
schestowitzIn cases of attacks on the site the delivery by CloudFlare can be configured to query the visitors to check they're not malicious bots. It's done either by testing them (challenge like entering a number) or running JavaScript code on their browser to detect human-like patterns, e.g. mouse movements.Oct 09 20:24
schestowitzThe client nowadays has occasional issues because editors -- not mere guests -- as well as authors/administrators sometimes encounter the above challenges. CloudFlare is in effect challenging the presumption they're human. This can be problematic if they're in the middle of editing or managing pages. It can result in loss of work or just be a nuisance (waste of time). Sometimes it can temporarily prevent even administrators from entering Oct 09 20:24
schestowitztheir own site!Oct 09 20:24
schestowitzSo, what they request as per our offer/suggestion is a way to access the site differently from ordinary guests; this way the CloudFlare configurations can be bypassed and their human-like browsing won't be challenged/questioned by CloudFlare.Oct 09 20:24
schestowitzWhat will be delivered?Oct 09 20:24
schestowitzWe can set up another domain or a subdomain. That domain will not be associated with or linked to CloudFlare (or only linked to it with more permissive configurations). This domain will be for administrators to edit/manage the site. The main (existing) domain will be left for guests/visitors. This will be routed through CloudFlare.Oct 09 20:25
schestowitzHow long will this take? Oct 09 20:25
schestowitzTime to implement that depends on level of experience and access policy, e.g. only allow users to access over VPN versus keep the domain more or less secret (if someone finds out, that only means bypassing CloudFlare, not being able to actually access administration section/back end).Oct 09 20:25
schestowitzWill this be performed by Support or will we need a Senior Engineer? (this question is for me.) Oct 09 20:25
schestowitzThis is a project. I think someone like xxxx may have done something similar for xx. I don't know who did that for xxxx. But the experience and maybe configuration files we have from back then (about 2 years ago) can be reused.Oct 09 20:25
