Personally I filter out 100 % of employers that think tests like these are viable filtering criteria.

Unless the downtime was caused by something Cloudflare would've prevented, this downtime would've happened regardless of being behind Cloudflare. Cloudflare adds another single point of failure.
I have two friends that installed them to basically deter their wives from cheating at their house when they are away. You could argue it's to 'catch' but obviously they aren't even going to attempt it knowing the cameras are present.
That's quite abusive behavior. I'm sorry for these wives, having to deal with this as it's probably not the only thing they have to endure. And how do the spouses "prove" they're not cheating when they're away - or is that not so important because they can choose to do whatever?
$1000 for 20 TB of data transfer sounds like fraud. You can get a VM instance with 20 TB included INTERNET traffic at Hetzner for €4.15.

Could this destroy the ISS?
No, they'll just get a spectacular view of the aurora.

Also: 100 % cloud cover in basically all of Northern Europe :/ Iceland is probably the place to be for the aurora show!
Wow, it's not even a parody. The iPhones are so huge and heavy now it needs its own purse.

Unfortunately there's an increasing number of home internet connections behind CGNat, as IPv4 adresses run out (and IPv6 doesn't gain momentum, heaven knows why)
I guess it's partially because ISPs are perfectly happy selling crippled internet connectivity as the base service and charging hefty premiums for "luxuries" like static IPs. It has also become common to only offer static IPs to business customers.

> IP based exclusion should not be considered a security measure
Apologies in advance if I'm missing something obvious here, but are you saying an IP allow list is not a standard security practice? If so I'd appreciate further explanation.
It's useful when the client always has its own static IP that _doesn't change_ between sessions. In this case, where the public facing IP may be shared by thousands of users, it provides no real security. All you'd have to do to gain access would be getting the client IP and finding some way of getting on the same network. Which in many cases could be as easy as subscribing to the same cell network or other ISP, or connecting to the guest wifi network of an office building.
