CloudFlare usage on Lemmy.ca.. (lemmy.ca)

I was wondering if there was really a good reason for CloudFlare to be used? I understand Lemmy.ca has dedicated hardware in a datacenter. Seems odd to pipe all our data through a US company as we are in a trade war.

With an sre team sure, but there's a difference between the amount of infra I'm willing to setup vs what I want to maintain and be responsible for on my own. I could set this up, spend money on VPS and have something that's difficult for anyone else to maintain.

Or I could just turn on cloudflare.

I'm am expert with all the tech you mentioned, but I'm trying to avoid a complex setup where if I got hit by a bus my fellow admins would struggle to maintain things.

I totally understand. It sucks that there's not really any options in between these two extremes.
