Fedia.io now behind Fastly CDN

Hello everyone. Today, I moved fedia.io behind the Fastly CDN. This should make the site consistently fast for everyone, no matter where you are in the world. It'll also help with bandwidth usage and mitigate DDoS attacks.

There were a few hiccups as I set that up today - my apologies if you saw errors or broken images for a bit.
EDIT: I previously said that this was the first time mbin or kbin was put behind a CDN. That is incorrect. kbin.earth has been behind Cloudflare. Apologies.

Assuming Cloudflare counts as a CDN, then kbin.earth is also behind one. It's always been behind Cloudflare, but only recently (a few months ago) have I taken advantage of it's caching and security layers.

Ahh - thank you!

Canard,

The privacy policy mentions a different content delivery network so it has to be updated.
I also found "Mastodon" and "kbin" in it.

thank for pointing that out. Its on my list to fix

ciferecaNinjo,

the privacy policy for kbin.earth is just empty for me, on Ungoogled Chromium. I get the page title in large bold, but then an empty box below it despite enabling some foreign 3rd party JS (jwr.one).

But I must say, something like Cloudflare should not be buried in a privacy policy. It should be something that no one misses especially if Tor is whitelisted. A lot of Tor users likely rely on CF’s “just one moment..” page to know it’s a CF page (a mitm we usually want to avoid).
