The features you refer to are not bleeding edge, and not only that, they are security features. We are still discussing internally but I hope we can publish soon the details so that point can be addressed.

Final but not last, this only affects our challenge system, which is never issued by us as a blanket action across Internet traffic. It's normally a configuration a Cloudflare user implements in response to an ongoing issue they have (like a bot problem). We do report challenge pass rates and error rates but we can certainly always improve that feedback loop.

No commercial uses around this.

- We sent our standard NDA to speed things up. I explicitly said in the message that it may not be required, but in the interest of moving fast we sent it to them so they could review it just in case

- We are committed to making our challenge system work on all browsers by clearly documenting what APIs need to be supported. For example, part of the issue with Pale Moon, is that it does not support CSPs correctly

- Notwithstanding the above, to resolve the issue quickly we are willing to lower some of our checks if and only if, we find the right approach. Of course this would introduce some security issues that bot developers may quickly leverage

- Contrary to what many have said in this forum, our challenge has no logic that relies on the user agent strings. We rely on browser APIs. We don't have any special checks for any specific browser

- To address this longer term, we are discussing internally a program for browser developers to have a direct channel with our team and we hope to have something to share soon with the browser developer community

I am happy to answer any constructive questions.

But yet I have a blog. Mostly to improve my writing. And to give me an additional reason to explore a new topic once in a while. It's also a nice notebook.

If I get a reader that's good. But building a high profile blog does not have to be the main goal.

My family, and all my parent's friends (most of which were pilots or air attendants), all had what you could call normal a house with normal lives etc. etc.

By most means life was pretty much the same as anyone else.

However, I have lived both in the UK and in France. If I had a choice, and if I was looking for asylum, I would choose the UK every time. In another video from him he says his two friends made it to the UK before him. The best country to get into Europe (as an asylum seeker) is the UK. It is also a reason why there is such a big fuss about immigration. The benefits are great, it is a very safe country, wealthy, lots of opportunity... etc etc. I might be very biast but the UK is quite a bit ahead of the other European countries in my opinion (with a few exceptions). If the UK was on mainland Europe it would have waayyy more immigration problems.

Edit: I am happy he made it. I am pro immigration.

As a result to that pretty much all applications I have ever made have at the very least gotten back to me. I would never be able to apply to 38 jobs in 2 months. I feel like a lot of copy paste went on and that sets you to a negative start.

However I do not regret it at all. I had Linux experience and it took me one day and a half work to get it all working very nicely.

I am happy with my config: Postifx, Dovecot, RoundCube, SpamAssassin, ClamAV

Server supports unlimited domains and user accounts - SSL is required for all connections, I only allow IMAP and I have configured it with two valid free StartSSL certificates:

    One under mail.domain.com (for email clients)
    One under webmail.domain.com (for the webmail)

The thing that scared me the most was outgoing emails being dropped - however to date I have delivered fine to all main email provider - followed a few simple rules:

    Ensure you have both SPF and TXT correct DNS records
    Ensure you have IPv6 configured properly (Google was  rejecting due to this) 
    Set your reverse DNS
    Set your machine hostname etc. in postfix
