Fucking Cloudflare

So I actually wrote a really long blog post the other week, but then bearblog didn't load because of some Cloudflare problem that made half the internet shit the bed, so I lost the entire post. I was so pissed off, I didn't come back until today. It really made me think twice about using online services to maintain any kind of journal. If it's that easy for a single service to cause so much disruption to the web, maybe we shouldn't use it? Maybe we should break it up into smaller services?

I am rethinking hosting my blog directly on my website instead and just copying over what I have written here to a html page. At least if it goes down, it goes down with my whole website.
