I am a big fan of Cloudflare Tunnels, it's let me muck about with quite a few low risk apps and it's been fun.
one thing that's always bothered me though is the SSL setup.
According to their website, only enterprise users are allowed to manage their own TLS private keys.
I can kinda understand the logic behind free accounts not having that perk.
But if you are someone who really doesn't like cloudflare reading your traffic or you are a business, it seems odd to me that it's not being demanded of cloudflare that they make it more available for paid users to not expose their TLS private keys to cloudflare.
Why are so many folks OK with cloudflare essentially being able to read all their traffic?
or am I overestimating how many people are using the Pro and Business account? is the majority of their users just Free or Enterprise?

Are gas stations beginning to shut down yet, as part of the broader shift to electric vehicles?
I feel like this was forecasted for a few years, and I'm not sure if places are following through with it yet. I looked it up, and found some articles, which I haven't vetted at all:...
I feel like this was forecasted for a few years, and I'm not sure if places are following through with it yet.
I looked it up, and found some articles, which I haven't vetted at all:
- https://www.the-sun.com/money/9078715/mass-gas-station-closures-across-country/
- https://www.thestreet.com/retail/major-oil-company-unloading-1000-of-its-retail-sites
- https://thefw.com/shell-gas-station-store-closings/
I don't know if the political situation in the US has slowed down the gas station closures, but I'm really not interested in turning this topic into politics talk, so please save that for another topic. I'm also definitely curious what's happening outside the US, I want to hear the facts and numbers, out of curiosity for how quickly this is happening, or not happening.
