I’m rewatching old Star Trek episodes to see which ones pass the B’kdel Test:

(2) Talking to each other

Cloudflare's malware protection resolver (1.1.1.2) now blocks archive.today as a Botnet C&C: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47474255

This is absolutely warranted, seeing that archive.today abused its customers for a ddos attack against a blog that the (anonymous) owner disliked.

It's also a welcome help for media companies worldwide for whom archive.today is a thorn in their side, bypassing paywalls and other content gates.

IMO: This shows - again - the dilemma of filtering resolvers.

Cloudflare flags archive.today as "C&C/Botnet"; no longer resolves via 1.1.1.2 | Hacker News
