    Fun fact I learned in Spain recently. They block Cloudflare Edge IPs during soccer games. Took me a long time to figure out why I was having intermittent outages.

      Not only Cloudflare. They block IP Ranges of many CDNs during the matches.

        Which blocks docker hub images. You cant fetch an image during a match.

          This is what happens when you let the crypto bros take over the industry. Wave a little cash and they won't say "no".

          Typical Spain. Making the country less productive so the football billionaires can get richer.

      I guess net-neutrality doesn't exist in Spain?

        the term "net neutrality" doesn't really mean anything anyway

        Not really. There is EU regulation. But is not really well enforced and offers some interesting loopholes, like zero-rating.
