| This is amazing. Excellent site, quality music and great for

| One thing that would be awesome would be a bandcamp link for the

| what I like to listen to.
| NightrideFM wrote:
| Yep, this is actually on the cards. I've got nowplaying info

| _salute_ Godspeed.
|
| I wonder if it's something you could crowdsource -- if you
| have a list of your collection, you could just put the titles
| in a doc or something and let people have at it.
|
| [EDIT] BTW I just started playing with the EQ. WOW that is a
| fantastic feature. Such a simple thing and I love being able
| to turn up the low range/high range as I like. Another level,
| because almost always I want more bass.
|
| [EDIT2] Granted I don't go to music sites _that_ much on the
| internet, this is happiest I 've been with a site like this
| since Madeon's Adventure Machine[0].

| Yeah have thought about it, we have a fairly large

| a limiter for the sake of people's speakers.
|
| You can instead turn ethe other frequencies down and then
| your volume up, same effect ;)

| Oh yeah that's exactly what I did... Put everything down,

| goodpoint wrote:

| _-____-_ wrote:
| Cloudflare has made demonstrable efforts to accommodate

| this, especially considering that sites like Google give
| Tor users unsolvable CAPTCHAs or block them altogether.
| And yet they did, which I took as a gesture of good
| faith.
|
| Some sites are still annoying to browse with Tor, but
| it's only those that opted into the strictest security

| the default Cloudflare behavior is not any more
| unfriendly to Tor than it is to any VPN (which is not too
| unfriendly, for the most part).
|
| I do agree with you that the global MITM is a huge

| If I had to choose an operator of such a global MITM,
| Cloudflare might be the least bad choice.
