New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Cloudflare silently injects its analytics when you switch nameservers

Tell HN: Cloudflare silently injects its analytics when you switch nameservers 46 by stagas | 4 comments on Hacker News. A few hours ago I switched my nameservers to Cloudflare in order to enable R2 bucket serving through my own subdomain, and I found out that it silently had injected a JS analytics snippet in my HTML-only JS-free site textlog.cc — I had to go to the Analytics dashboard, Add the site to the analytics and then disable the snippet.

Anyway here's a little blog-spam on it, enjoy. https://ift.tt/JBAGrsZ (written by me, not ai)

Ask HN: What should I know before hosting eprints? 2 by logicallee | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm thinking of putting a lightweight respository online where researchers can publish eprints they have the right to publish (the existing repositories have some gatekeeping or hoops to jump through), and people can download the papers without any registration etc. what should I know before I do this?

Ask HN: New Reddit also requiring login? 4 by 7402 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've seen the discussion on HN about old reddit requiring login, but today I tried the current interface, and it seemed to require login after scrolling a bit. Do others see this? Is there an alternative?
