Sure, I supposed you could, but this turned out to take only 8 1/2
seconds for checking 31 domains.  On a Pentium III with ancient hard
drives.

'sorted_unique_cf.txt' is the unpacked list of 4,287,625 possibly
affected domains.  'domains' is my ASCII list of Internet domains whose
security I care about that I've used in the last six months and might
(or might not) be Cloudfare customers.

(Yes, I do indeed have a 23andMe membership.  Turns out I'm a Euromutt,
which is not really surprising.  mtDNA haplogroup V2, paternal
haplogroup R1b1b2a1a1 (marker U106). )


The Zip archive containing sorted_unique_cf.txt includes an interesting
README, that has observations like this one:

  Theoretically sites not in this list can also be affected (because an
  affected site could have made an API request to a non-affected one),
  *you should probably change all your important passwords*.
