Exactly this. I actually just pulled the whole source tree and built it for FreeBSD this morning.

What I'm really referring to is the community. Especially for things like forums and docs that need only be read-only. The fixation with Cloudflare bewilders me. Surely most technically minded people know it's a mixed blessing that offers as many ills as advantages?

With respects, I don't really want a conversation about the merits and madness of Cloudflare. Been there and done that. I'm simply pointing out, in case any Racket community people are here, that small details like this can have a serious impact on the uptake and enjoyment of something valuable.

From the Racket website maintainer side, CloudFlare provides us both with a free CDN as well as free https in front of the S3 buckets that comprise the web site. Unfortunately, S3 and other AWS costs are real and Cloudflare provides a high quality and free service.

I will note that we don't host our forums ourselves so those should not be affected.

Appreciate that you've noted my niggle Sam.
