Justalurker (@Justalurke35517) reported@instapundit I will no longer visit your site after doing so for many years. Cloudflare is a piece of **** and does not grant access. Good luck.
-
Cosplay Floor Review (@CosplayFloorRev) reported@eepyeri Works fine, most likely a CloudFlare proxy issue. Seen it a million times where a corporate firewall doing SSL decryption has mangled up the TLS certificates.

Yash Daftary (@YDaftary) reportedThe last week was brutal for thousands of people due to layoffs. • Meta laid off 8,000 employees ~ 10% of their global workforce • Cloudflare axed 1,100 employees ~ 20% of their headcount • Bolt fired their entire HR department The pattern is concerning and the future is uncertain as companies adopt AI and make their workflows efficient. While layoffs have been a growing trend, the boom in internet businesses cannot be ignored. I say this because I see it happening at @FanBasisInc, we have noticed an increase in new sellers over the past few months. And it's not slowing down, the internet economy is expected to grow to $16.5 trillion by 2028. Every wave of layoffs create the next class of internet entrepreneurs.

'himeriya' 'mie' 🧢✉️ case ponnect (@himeriyamie) reportedcrunchyroll almost stopped me from paying my college tuition because the system is based off of cloudflare or smth i got the cloudflare is down message when trying to pay it still somehow went through but istg crunchyroll will pay if they get me in legal trouble with my college

Eltee/ǝǝʇןƎ 🦀🏳️🌈 (@eltee7x) reported@Leon4788 @NCyotee This is the original sin, yes. The moment you stop being a service provider and start choosing what to allow on your platform, you become an editor and lose the protections granted to service providers. Cloudflare made the same mistake when it decided to ban The Daily Stormer.
-
Popcorn.co (@Popcorn_Co) reported@ns123abc cloudflare had 2000 bugs sitting around while charging enterprises premium rates for security services that apparently needed an ai to actually find the problems
-
Psychofren (@psycho_fren) reported@LinusMixson @vxunderground too many of these companies are slow to respond on these issues twitter was especially guilty of ignoring CSAM if Cloudflare is walking a tightrope and are genuinely trying to do the right thing then nothing more can be expected of them i just dont believe customers would be aggressively against automated blacklist in a database to suppress distribution and i think there is practical room for improvement
-
PickleNik (@PickleNik0864) reported@developedbyed @Cloudflare damn I needed this like 3 months ago but unded up going with Mux cuz I couldn't be bothered to figure this out on top of other things. Thankfully my usage isn't high enough to hit free limits so far
-
Hacksore (@Hacksore) reportedNo WAF No gRPC/protobufs No Kubernetes No service mesh No 17 layers of observability (Jaeger + Prometheus + Grafana + OpenTelemetry + whatever new **** dropped this week) No "eventually consistent" 8 microservices with Kafka between them No Cloudflare + 3 CDNs + edge functions No "we use hexagonal architecture" No Terraform for 47 resources No "left shift security" bullshit yeah it's not that complicated
-
Vinayaka Hegde (@VinayakaHe50360) reported@nooriefyi this kinda comparsion is incomplete without breaking down usage patters & what exactly changed in the stack. and, vercel and cloudflare optimize for diff layers of the stack, so migrations are not apples to apples.
-
Dustin Hamilton (@DustinGHamilton) reported@jackfriks @postbridge_ @supabase You don’t need this database.. all of you younger guys buy into all this third-party extra crap You can run a local psql with some auto backups, a heztner vps with a lot of ram is like $30-40/mo and cloudflare R2 for your media, pushing it from your vps with their s3 clone api.. you could host your whole thing for $100 or less and have complete control without all these crazy third-party services you dont need I used to have a large casual game site that had 5 million uniques a day and I ran it on five clustered web servers with 3 replicated sql dbs.. everything every modern app does is complete overkill bullshit
-
Carson (@aptus_short) reported@livgo1f Its easy af nowadays to just use AWS SES and cloudflare email to be the email sender. Pay a half competent dev a few thousand and they can setup a custom system for you in a week. If you need help with it dm me
-
Hadrian Augastine Goyper (@momondic) reported@KiwiFarmsDotNet @Cloudflare Well what has Cloudflare done for jews lately. You can never do enough.
-
NovaSync Tsunami Systems (@NovaSync_HQ) reported4 days dark on socials. Not because nothing happened. Because everything did. Nova threw errors. Cloudflare tunnels refused to connect. DNS went NXDOMAIN. Anthropic credits ran dry.
-
Noorie (@nooriefyi) reported@MythThrazz can we hire them for less then 24k (our current annual cloudflare spend) its less about being the absolute cheapest and more about the best service for okayish cost that lets us focus on customers. we stay price sensitive but the cheapest thing to do is switch the whole thing off if the product is truly not providing value

The_Daniel (@dan_mwita8) reported@SidJain_80 Implement connection pooling with a strict limit and fail gracefully when you hit it , but the real protection is preventing the thundering herd from reaching your auth service simultaneously. Three layers to add: Rate limiting at the edge. Cloudflare, AWS WAF, or your load balancer should throttle reconnection attempts before they reach your infrastructure. Not blocking but just queuing and spreading them over time. Millions of reconnects compressed into seconds becomes millions spread over a minute. Your auth service goes from drowning to being busy. Client-side exponential backoff with jitter. Every disconnected client shouldn't immediately retry on reconnect. They should wait a random amount of time ,backoff factor multiplied by jitter , before attempting. This naturally spreads the reconnection load across seconds instead of milliseconds. Without jitter, all clients retry simultaneously and you still get the thundering herd. Auth service circuit breaker. When database connection pool hits capacity, stop accepting new requests immediately. Return a 503 Service Unavailable with a Retry-After header instead of queuing connections that will timeout anyway. Clients get a clear signal to back off and retry later. This prevents the cascade where pending requests keep accumulating and consuming resources. The deeper issue is that connection pooling alone doesn't protect you , it just formalizes the limit you'll hit. The protection is architecture that spreads load over time instead of allowing simultaneous reconnects to pile up.

spb krishnan (@spbalaonline) reported@abhijeet_dipke Cockroach Party website taken down? Here's how to make it resilient:• Move domain to Njalla/Porkbun + Cloudflare proxy • Host static version on IPFS + Vercel/Netlify • Mirror on GitHub Pages+ offshore VPS • Daily backup+.onion version Decentralize like real cockroaches.
-
ProfessorChocolateCaXe (@ProfChocCaXe) reported@KiwiFarmsDotNet @Cloudflare Has anyone else noticed that it's a typical mindset among boomers where you tell them about some extreme violent crime that happened that they never heard about because it was never forced fed to them by the mainstream media, they ask for proof, you show them actual video footage of it happening and they respond "Oh that shouldn't be allowed online"? They're so used to being wrapped in cotton wool by broadcasting regulations that they cannot fathom the idea of uncensored violent crime videos even existing.

Ben Valentin (@TheBenValentin) reportedFour AI labs made four acquisitions in five days. Anthropic bought Stainless for $300M+. The company that built SDKs for OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare. Then shut down the hosted product for everyone else. Mistral bought Emmi AI for physics-aware models. Google DeepMind acqui-hired all of Contextual AI. Meta grabbed Dreamer. This isn't a coincidence. It's a consolidation signal. The frontier labs hit a point where buying a specific capability is faster than building it. And that means the tools you depend on today could disappear into a competitor's stack tomorrow. Stainless is the clearest example. They spent years earning developer trust across every major AI lab. Anthropic acquired that trust in one transaction, then killed the product for everyone else. If you're building on someone else's infrastructure, you are one acquisition away from a forced rewrite. The builders who survive this phase aren't the ones picking the "best" tool. They're the ones building portable systems that aren't locked to a single vendor's SDK, a single model, or a single platform. The AI consolidation phase isn't coming. It started last week. What's one tool in your stack you'd have to completely rebuild around if it got acquired tomorrow?

Tulantro (@TheTulantro) reported@Cloudflare Not going to onboard with passkeys. It's just a security risk. My phone is prepared all the time for being fully wiped, same with my computer. I mess with my computer frequently as well, so TPM is not reliable. Passkey gets stored in 1password, SMS 2FA is getting phased out, and so I lost the previous 3 point security for a 1 point security that is clearly worse in every way. Before you needed my username, password, and then my phone for SMS code. Now you need my passkey. That's it. Someone get's my 1password master password? They can login to all my accounts and delete my passkeys. No phone needed lol. Complete security destruction, love that

Néstor (@nstlopez) reportedSmall Cloudflare Workers deploy debugging note: If "wrangler secret bulk --env ..." fails before deploy with code 10214, check the Worker’s latest version state. The problem may not be your secret value. Cloudflare can reject settings edits when the latest version has modified settings but is not currently deployed.

Ercan Ermiş (@flightlesstux) reported@Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp @CloudflareSys please check and fix the system.
-
Rafael Audibert (@RafaAudibert) reported@Cloudflare has so many permission toggles which sounds nice on paper but it's actually useless because I can never figure out what accesses people need and I literally always have to give people full access to Cloudflare to allow them to do the simplest of the things
-
Justalurker (@Justalurke35517) reported@instapundit Cloudflare is blocking me from viewing your site on my laptop. All day now. WTF is going on? Fix it or lose a viewer forever.

Francesco Di Donato (@did0f) reported@stemonteduro Yesterday I was waiting for pizza with my friend and while having a beer I have shown him how codex went from idea to cloudflare pages hosted website in 10 minutes. The poor guy had just payed some random dude for a ****** landing page that took pain and more than 1 month to be done. He was stunned/angry/scared/excited

Aevris AI (@aevrisai) reportedLast night our API went down with Railway's outage. Tonight it can't. In one session we built: → Render backup deployment → Cloudflare Worker → Auto-failover between two providers → Dual UptimeRobot monitoring A security platform that goes offline is not a security platform. Fixed. Permanently. #AISecuity #Infrastructure #AEVRIS

Crepe Supreme (@crepesupreme) reportedStainless turned API specs into production SDKs across Python, TS, Go, Java, Kotlin. Customers: OpenAI, Google, Cloudflare, Runway, Replicate. Anthropic is winding down the hosted product, so the other customers need a plan. Press framing has been 'lockout move on OpenAI.'
