Ludum Dare's data is on Akamai/Linode, but some of my things are on CloudFlare. Welp, I've been "chosen" by CloudFlare Accounting for a "Account Review"—something I don't have time for as I continue struggling to find work 😢—so my sincerest apologies for any personal and #LDJam service outages. 😖

I've exported up what I can (DNS zone files), but AFAIK there's no quick way to export workers/pages configurations. I *should* have what I need to rebuild and redeploy just in case my inaction gets me kicked. Fingers crossed I don't but I'm playing safe. For "fun" see CloudFlare Extortion stories:

Dude, as someone unfortunate to be born with a passport of the wrong color, I can't stress how infuriating all these "account reviews" are. That's exactly why we should stand for self-hosting and ditch platforms as soon as they get big enough to be run by processes instead of people.
