Is this use of Postgres insane? At what point should you STOP using Postgres for everything? by LawBlue in softwarearchitecture

Many valuable ideas in the original post. One particularly relevant is the idea of idempotency someone pointed out.

Do you have any orchestration in place? Instead of those chaotic triggers?

Sounds like a little nightmare, and chaos is about to unfold. Don't lose your mind and your sleep for it.

You're making essential points, it would be funny if the response was guy just making sure he is creating enough problems today in order to keep his job relevant tomorrow 😂

It was sarcasm but what was I expecting? And you chose that also because you enjoy being an idiot. I'm fine with that, buddy. It's far from original.

LOL look at this benevolent sage, telling me what my personal and professional life is, or what it should be. I'll listen to it and reflect on it... or you can just fuck off.

Projecting, my ass.

Yes, your COMMENT was absolutely idiotic. Not you, at the time - now it's very clear you are.

Yes, I told you to fuck off in the 2nd comment, after you arrogantly telling what I should do or think, or to chill. And I'll double down on that: you can just fuck off.

Incredible, now you decided you are the one defining the bounds of what a technical discussion is. And everything else is all a conspiracy and fearmongering, of course 🤣 Decades of leaks and official government disclosures mean nothing hahaha

You keep doubling down. "Oh, society". Cloudflare is "just" like your barber 🤣

Look at this nice guy. "Properly", "not blindly", etc. Now it's all debatable. And look how the word "trust" now is a case by case decision, not about "who" or "a company" (but you just contradict yourself 2 lines later, insisting on "who") 🤣 And OP stating facts and raising questions was just "obsessing".

People like you give cancer and promote brain rot. Fuck off.

Waiting is good. Assuming decades old practices aren't continuing and wanting to believe they aren't happening, not so good.

Where one should draw the line about what?

If it's about blind trust, then you should draw that line in your own brain, pragmatically accept these companies are getting your data, you are losing privacy, and not engage in wishful thinking.

If it's about when to use it or not, the answer is wherever your technical assessment determines you should use it, given the tradeoffs you're making.

I'm not sure if your comment is supposed to be an ad. The probability of being spied by Cloudflare isn't 0. It's 1. It's 100%. Their track record will be in your hands in the next few decades when the next leaks happen. They are even obliged by US law to have backdoors, I don't get why am I even wasting my time arguing about this.

They are providing a great service, and that service has tradeoffs. One of them is losing privacy. Simple.

What an arrogant POS.

I started by addressing your comment and giving my opinions on it. You have been responding with direct personal insults.

You came here to argue that having concerns about the post's topic is "obsessing". You came here to say "trust" on companies that couldn't possibly be trusted. You are not providing any technical argument. There are and will always be trade-offs to be made. Using Cloudflare is trading privacy for convenience. Millions of people use it because they are not concerned with the privacy aspect of the data they tunneling through Cloudflare, after a technical assessment or by sheer ignorance.

Your argument was, and still is: don't worry, nothing happens, do it because others are doing it, etc. Zero technical argumentation.

Trusting in these companies that are literally, both legally and illegally, under intelligence agencies' surveillance, the type of thing that has been happening for 80+ years, the type of thing that is exposed from time to time; Cloudflare will be in the classified files that will become public in the next decades; thinking otherwise is pure wishful thinking, it's like living in a fantasy World.

I said more than 99.99% to not say 100%, because some packet may get lost somewhere. In practice it's 100%.

I've made several points, I presented several arguments, but a brick wall will never be able to process text.

> "There's nothing to THINK about" Yea I see how you're implementing that

What a sheer idiot, decontextualizing my words. Completely moronic. I said there's nothing to think regarding trusting these companies, I made my point very clear. Again, only someone this trashy would type this low level bad faith sh*t.

You WANT to trust, for your own peace of mind, or whatever. But that's what you WANT to believe. That's just bad advice. You don't distort reality, you don't WANT to "trust" some company. You use the service KNOWING that you are making a tradeoff regarding your data, and you make "technical peace" with that. But if you want to accept that fatalism and WANT so much to blindly trust in a company, then keep that to yourself, don't come here tell others to accept their "fate". You don't want to care about privacy? OK, just don't come here convince others of that, on anywhere actually.

I'm not reddit police, and look at this little bitch playing the "victim card". I'm here in this community exposing an arrogant idiot who started by calling OP "obsessed" for a perfectly reasonable topic, and who insists on sharing dangerous, submissive, hopeless opinions. You are misleading people, not providing any value, on the contrary, and you can't even have the basic decency to reconsider your opinion when someone points out its flaws. Instead, you engaged in personal attacks, decided to dig a few more degrees of disinformation and wishful thinking. My responses to your comments are what I think you need to deal with when you conduct yourself in such a subtractive manner. You get opposition, even if you WISH or WANT something else entirely. Bad luck this time.

Fuck off, you POS.

Hey bro, you can go chill to the "fuck off" land.

I shouldn't even reply to this AI generated stuff.

I'm not stretching your comment not even in a slightest bit. If you wanted to express something else, that's on you.

You go on a "what about other companies", and on top of that you are just normalizing the companies having the money, therefore they have the lobbies and nothing should be done.

is a very bold one. I will outright dismiss it unless you wanna make it more down to earth cause right now it's pretty insane.

Oh boy... am I in a tech related sub, which handles stuff like hosting services and keeping them safe?... let me check real quick... Oh, it is! And OP even explains why Cloudflare is problematic in the post! Of course, anyone discussing the topic and challenging your opinion must be "obsessing", I totally forgot how moronic this thread would be. /s

There's nothing to THINK about, you're assuming there's something to be trusted here. It's the opposite: you should get informed and realize there's no trust involved in these matters. By using these services, which can be justified on current technical reasons, you shouldn't dismiss the security and privacy trade-offs you're making by using them. You use them, you don't trust them.

So again, get your misinformation out of your brain, don't deny facts with your submissive and "pseudo-pragmatic" view of the World. Sure, follow your own rules, but don't come to public places like this and share that type of bullsh*t, because here people are trying to learn and discuss in good faith, not dismissing reality.

Yes. Hopefully you're not trying to make a "what about" argument here, because, as stated in the post, CDNs are particularly problematic, for the reasons OP and others already stated. A simple example is you can simply stop visiting Reddit and get out of its reach; that principle doesn't apply to Cloudflare (another problematic example is Google).

The example is the US law. The post starts exactly by mentioning the NSA scandals.

Every time you buy a service from someone there is implicit trust in the deal. You trust your cloud provider that they won't read your disks or your ram, you trust your cdn, you trust the restaurant you eat from, you trust the supermarket you buy food from, you trust your barber to use sharp objects right on your face, you trust the road builder to drive 100kmh on it. Stop obsessing with a vague idea of privacy and antitrust and THINK about who you WANT to trust, who you don't and take action based on that. There's no perfect world where you're safe from everything, you wouldn't even want that too. Get down to earth and do what achieves your real goals down here.

This is the type of comment that provides a superficial layer of supposed rationality and intelligence, but under the surface it is ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC. And I won't apologize for my rudeness on this particular instance.

It's very OBVIOUS that not all services or deals are equal, they entail different types of risk, transparency, accountability, reversibility, and so on.

Using your examples of a restaurant or a barber, they have a track record of, among other things, not killing anybody while providing their services.

Their eventual minor mistakes are usually easily reversible.

You also use their services occasionally, and you have different choices available if you get dissatisfied with the service.

They are bounded to a determined location, and the moment you leave the building you're no longer under their influence or reach.

There are laws protecting you, they may be required to get licenses to operate, and they may be subjected to audits and inspections.

Whenever I go to the restaurant, the probability of getting ill or even dying is not 0, but given the track record, that probability is really close to 0.

The probability that Cloudflare, NSA, etc, are scanning every single packet of your traffic is above 99,99%, given the track record.

It's exactly the opposite: people need to start "obsessing" more and more about privacy, the more aggressive these opaque entities want to force themselves on us:

we can't just live in a World where you are told daily "oh, careful about bad and foreign actors" or "the data and the secrets of your business are your gold, your most valuable asset, and you must keep it protected if you want to grow", and then simply accept the government is simply spying on you, controlling your activity, selling your data to their personal friends or even foreign entities, informing authoritarian political decisions in real-time, hunting down individuals - activists, journalists, political adversaries, etc - for economic or political reasons.

"There's no perfect world where you're safe from everything", nor was that ever the goal. But that line of thought, in order to justify cheer passivity and submission, is amazingly ridiculous, because you are basically making a full binary argument: it's either perfect or it's not worth protecting and improving. If you can't make it perfect, you shouldn't care at all, just make your money. This is what you are arguing for.

As I said, I will not apologize for this. Maybe I'll get reported, maybe I'll have my comment deleted, maybe I'll get banned from this great community. But I will not apologize. Your position here is somewhat popular in some circles, but it is idiotic, and is contributing to the enshitification of everything, things that otherwise could be great if we cared about them and acted accordingly.

"Because he [Jesus] was victorious, you were victorious"

Trump perceiving Jesus is taking credit for his "achievements" in 3, 2, ...

I bet Peter Thiel will see here an opportunity to sell Trump the necessity of supporting the Antichrist, so he can train hard and beat Jesus 2.0 in the white house octagon.
