Would they even allow you to rate an app that you have never installed?
Re:Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare If You Don't Need To on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @10:47AM (#45967809)
This works up until you discover that your domain registrar and dns provider are all using cloudflare to protect their websites.

You might need to flush your DNS, X removed cloudflare and are now directly serving their site directly from twitter's own network.
Re:Ask HN: Cloudflare is down. How does this affect you? on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @07:01AM (#45964159)
Cloudflare's dashboard is currently down as well.

My domain is registered with cloudflare so I'm 100% helpless to get things back online.

I can't edit DNS records to bypass cloudflare and I can't change nameservers either.

Ironically I can't even read the link in the article because cloudflare is down.
Re:That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus on Wednesday September 24, 2025 @04:01PM (#45365295)
In other countries these setups are fairly illegal because it bypasses the international call tariffs that the typically state owned telco company would be entitled to. A local domestic call might cost $.01 per minute and an international call $.20. They call it "bypass fraud".

But in the US, I'm not so sure since things are already deregulated.

Correct.

You can open up an USD account in maybe Zambia and transfer funds to another USD account in Dubai without it ever touching the US financial system.

I have been using sendgrid for years and years and don't believe I have ever paid anything for it.
Re:Accidental $70k Google Pixel Lock Screen Bypass on Thursday November 10, 2022 @08:21AM (#33545988)
This was kind of my experience with reporting a bug to Google as well. Some years ago I managed to upload a SWF file to "google.com" which allowed me to do an XSS and access anyone's gmail, contacts, etc. I reported it and they just initially never responded and I had to constantly follow up. It was seemingly a simple bug to fix but it took them a couple months and they eventually only paid $500. Being able to exfiltrate data out of someone's gmail account always seemed high priority to me but I guess not lol.
