The systemcrafters website is on #cloudflare. This not only enables a tech giant to create profiles of people. #survillancecapitalism It's also very annoying to pass these "verify you are a human" checks when using tor.
Please move to a less invasive provider. Thanks.

@kirschwipfel do you have any recommendations? I picked Cloudflare out of a need to move away from Codeberg Pages, it was far too unstable and the website was down fairly frequently.

It seems like most cloud hosting providers are going to be unappealing for different reasons.

What is "cloud" hosting for a static website?

Here in Germany you find a lot small and big providers offering shared webspace for cheep (e.g. 5€ incl. 3 domains). I assume same is true for Greece. Wouldn't this be enough?

Same is true for VPS.

In case you actually need some names, I can sent you some from Germany via mail.

@kirschwipfel I suppose my main concern is bandwidth costs, but I may not have enough for it to matter. I will take a look at some options and see what else out there may work for me.

Thanks!
