Hi, I'm thinking of building a personal website about tech, privacy, open source, etc. Any recommendations about where can I buy domain? .com is taken, but everything else is not. Shuld I take .tech (few dolars more expensive) or something more basic?

That’s a security feature the owner sets. Your beef is with the website trying to improve their security and the malicious actors that warrant that, cloudflare just provides the tools.

From a privacy standpoint, cloudflare dns protects your sites very well. They will proxy requests so you don’t have to reveal your IPs, and provide a lot of security tools for free. Even without registering your domain there its a great option for DNS.
