doeyor.sol (@Doeyor) reported@trunoest Last night I bought into algopub at 140k and the website linked had a cloudflare login I clicked and it asked me to enter something in my windows run which was to allow the attacker to install a remote Trojan they could use later. I realized at the time like something was wrong here but didn’t immediately know what was up and was constantly checking my balance to essentially see everything disappear 5-10 minutes go by and nothing start thinking I’m in the clear go on with my night end up going to bed left my computer on but not locked wake up to find 0 SOL balance and a bunch of tabs open on my pc. Thankfully didn’t have any eth on based bot and he opened up axiom and exported my private keys and sent just the 5 sol (3 wallets) I have to this (BBNpySDumyS3k4mULaunbMfyZz1Bpbt2B5PwVVWZVy3F) looks like he got a few other people as well. can even see my sns doeyor.sol Could have truly ruined my life with the access he had to my full computer. Just a reminder to be ever vigilant; went ahead and wiped the 3 hard drives that were connected to my computer with kill disk and reinstalled a fresh windows this morning.

Sina Meraji (@sinasanm) reportedtotally forgot i can replace the scrappy cf onboarding in kimiflare with the new "login with cloudflare" oauth thingy

Patrick St. Jean (@stjeanp) reported@EddCoates I dealt with some of the same stuff, ended up putting them behind Cloudflare proxies, which helped somewhat. The biggest fix was blocking specific ASNs. Specifically AS132203.
-
Viktor Lazarov (@viktor_techness) reported@EddCoates Doesn't Cloudflare anti-bot help? They have a setting specifically for scrapers + robots.txt attachment for a legal notice.
-
dukeo (@dukeo) reported@EddCoates Had the same issue on one of our sites receiving millions of hits from scrapers while getting just a few thousands legit visitors per day. The only way is to be extremely aggressive in your Cloudflare setup.
-
Armeet (@armeetjatyani) reported@tomhaerter Primarily Cloudflare now. GCP support is extremely sluggish
-
John Friedman (@johngfriedman) reportedNope, I was wrong. Something w/ python overhead for many small async requests. Cloudflare R2 does have slow latency, but not the issue here.
-
Fingertight (@5Fingertight) reported@EddCoates Cloudflare has some decent free tools that can help a lot with this….
-
TheLarioso (@TheLarioso) reported@brivael You have these massive scripts CloudFlare many are connected to and collect ip:s and check if bots etc. - you could very well just go ip and block those that exist - yes, quite a few but can be done I think You do not need to go to a particular service, you vpn service has an ip.
-
SpikeViper (@spikeviper) reportedI am once again asking @Cloudflare for a response on why their support is radio silent on what is now a shady billing situation
-
Malte Landwehr (@MalteLandwehr) reported@EddCoates So many solutions: · Cloudflare/CDN · Caching · Free API without authentication I once worked for a website with 90% bot traffic. This issue is manageable.

Kolorguide (@Kolorguide) reported@Hostinger Yesterday I upgraded my hosting plan. My website was operating normally before the upgrade. Immediately after the upgrade, the site became unavailable with Cloudflare 525 errors. DNS, SSL and server checks have been completed, but human support and ticket escalation are currently unavailable due to a reported support platform issue. Can someone from Hostinger please review this case or advise how customers can obtain technical assistance during the support platform outage? #Hostinger #WebHosting #Support

Jorge (@tebayoso) reportedI had my @cloudflare bill spin up from 0 to 500 per day, and their interface was broken for two days, when I noticed I had to pay 900usd. They don't respond to customer support :(
-
Diogo D (@DiogoTheReal) reported@EddCoates @Cloudflare rate limiting might help
-
Derek Martin 🇨🇦 (@lo_fye) reported@yashmp2004 Your cache busting and/or expiration is broken. Cloudflare is down. Your hosting’s network connection is shoddy, or oversaturated. A backup or clone process is hammering the disk. There’s a race condition that wasn’t triggered until now. When in doubt, check replication status.

tidux (@skibidiblazor) reported@prestonjbyrne Not to mention because the major cloud providers have their own international cables between datacenters they'd have to put that DPI filter in front of Cloudflare, Cloudfront, Azure and Google CDNs, YouTube, etc.... it would make the Internet unusably slow.
-
dmsimon (@dmsimon) reported@EddCoates I had the same problem and moved to @Cloudflare and am using pages and workers. Pages is free on a free account for a ridiculous amount of volume. Keep you host running the dB and move the front to CF. I also think it is much better than gh pages.
-
Ankur Agrawal (@ankuragrawal420) reported@araseb_ The ease of use primarily and native support for nextJs application out of the box with just 1 click. They have been charging people more and more with all the ridiculous upsells. They changed my build configuration to turbo automatically and charged me for build minutes. Thats when I decided to move to Cloudflare and its completely free
-
Your Private Proxy (@YourPrivateProx) reportedAI agents don't know they're blocked. Cloudflare returns 200 with a JS challenge. Agent sees no data, retries, gets the same 200, loops for 20 minutes. Not a model problem. Missing check: is this response actually data, or is it a block page?
-
special k | CEO of stressed out era (@specialkdelslay) reported@HeadmasterDuck We have cloudflare pro acc which does mitigate some of this. The cloudflare dependency everyone has is a problem tho
-
oops (@fataloops) reported@EddCoates I have a (conspiracy) theory about this- Cloudflare is the one doing the scraping, millions of requests Your only option is to use cloudflare or take down the site

Ann the cat herder (@ann1knit) reportedIf cloudflare is so buggy and easily broken or hacked, why the frell hasn't someone come up with a better system or solution?

NOVA 🇷🇺 (@NOVA360HD) reported📌 The Illusion of Decentralization: Who Owns the Backbone of the Internet & AI in 2026? (Updated List) As you scroll daily, you might think you're navigating thousands of independent sites and apps. The reality? 90% of global data traffic flows through channels controlled by a select few. Here is who actually controls the world's digital backend: 1. The Cloud Big Three If these three companies went offline, half of the internet’s apps, banking systems, and aviation networks would vanish in seconds: * Amazon Web Services (AWS): Controls roughly a third of the entire global cloud market. It hosts giants like Netflix, Airbnb, and even highly sensitive government databases. * Microsoft Azure: The largest backbone for massive corporations, government institutions, and global digital identity systems. * Google Cloud: The third engine powering YouTube, massive big data research, and global startups. 2. The Gatekeepers These are the invisible shields you rarely see, but they control and protect your access to the internet: * Cloudflare: Manages and secures roughly 20-25% of all global web traffic. If Cloudflare goes down, half of the world's news outlets and crypto exchanges drop with it. * Akamai: The oldest and largest Content Delivery Network (CDN) in the world. They dictate how videos, live streams, and games reach billions of people without lagging. 3. The Hardware Monopoly Software is useless without processors, and this is where the greatest monopoly lies: * NVIDIA: Controls over 80% of the AI chip and data center GPU market. They essentially decide who has the compute power to train AI (like OpenAI and Meta) and who gets left behind. * TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor): The Taiwanese giant that manufactures almost all the world's advanced chips for Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm. If TSMC stopped, the production of global smartphones and military hardware would freeze. 4. The Submarine Cables (Who Owns the Physical Internet?) The internet isn't in the sky (satellites only cover a tiny fraction). 99% of global data travels through cables at the bottom of the ocean: * SubCom & ASN: The two companies responsible for laying and maintaining most of the world's underwater fiber-optic cables. * The Big Tech Alliance: Today, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon have become the largest investors and tenants of these cables, meaning they now physically own the routes data takes between continents. 5. The Institutional Masters If you dig deep into the shares of every media, tech, aviation, and defense company globally, you will always find three names repeating as the top institutional investors: * BlackRock (Manages over $10 Trillion in assets). * Vanguard Group (Manages roughly $8 Trillion in assets). * State Street These funds don't run the companies day-to-day, but they hold massive voting power to dictate board members and the strategic direction of these giants (from Apple and Microsoft to oil and defense contractors). 💡 The Bottom Line: The internet is no longer the free, distributed network it was once touted to be. It has evolved into a highly centralized infrastructure where a few massive corporations and investment funds dictate what you see, what you hear, and how your data flows.

Nikhil Agarwal (@nikhildp) reported@dinasaur_404 @Cloudflare Yes looking for billing cap. How do you test dynamic workers as well as dynamic workflows in local dev? We had a disastrous outcome of losing $800 because the deployed code ran into infinite loop using dynamic workflow. Support team was not at all helpful.

kiosa (@thegreatest_sv) reportedTHE BIGGEST SCAM IN TECH MIGHT BE HOW MUCH PEOPLE STILL PAY TO HOST SIMPLE WEBSITES. >I just launched one for $0. > have 9 project ideas > each needs a domain (~$15) + hosting (~$10/mo) + SSL > do the math > talk yourself out of 7 of them > later find out domains can be free > register one in 2 minutes, no card > Cloudflare for DNS + SSL, free > Cloudflare Pages for hosting, free > live custom-domain site in 20 minutes > cost: $0 > mfw the only thing stopping me was a bill I never had to pay >full build below

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedThe Dead Internet Theory was a conspiracy. The idea that the internet is no longer human. That bots and AI have quietly replaced real people. It started on anonymous message boards in 2019. Most people dismissed it. Stanford, Imperial College London, and the Internet Archive just measured it. They used the Wayback Machine to scan every new website published between 2022 and 2025. Thirty-three months of the internet, captured and classified. They applied one of the most advanced AI text detectors in the world to every page. 35.3% of all newly published websites were AI-generated or AI-assisted. 17.6% were completely AI-generated. No human involvement at all. In late 2022, before ChatGPT launched, that number was zero. In three years, more than a third of the new internet became synthetic. Not over decades. Not over a generation. Three years. Then they measured what that is doing to the internet itself. Semantic diversity is falling. The range of ideas, perspectives, and ways of saying things is narrowing. As AI content increases, the internet sounds more and more like one voice. Because it is one voice. The same models producing the same patterns across millions of pages. Positive sentiment is rising. Everything sounds upbeat. Polished. Confident. Helpful. The internet is getting friendlier while getting emptier. The tone improves as the substance disappears. The lead researcher, Jonáš Doležal at Imperial College London, said this to 404 Media: "I find the sheer speed of the AI takeover of the web quite staggering. After decades of humans shaping it, a significant portion of the internet has become defined by AI in just three years." Separately, Cloudflare reported that nearly a third of all internet traffic now comes from bots. Imperva reported that automated traffic surpassed human traffic for the first time in 2024. If you read my previous threads on Model Collapse and Retrieval Collapse, this is the final chapter. Model Collapse showed that AI trained on AI gets dumber. Retrieval Collapse showed that search engines indexing AI content get emptier. This paper shows the source of both problems. The internet itself is being replaced. The researchers are now working with the Internet Archive to build a live monitoring tool. A real-time tracker of how much of the internet is human and how much is not. The fact that we need a tool to measure how much of the internet is still real is the finding.

JD'oh (@JDoh2983) reportedWhy Crest Fundgrove and this setup are fake Classic 'fake' pattern: "AI trading bot" with impossible claims (e.g., 85%+ accuracy, easy passive profits, minimal effort). Real markets don't work this way consistently. Minimum deposit around $250 (common in these scams). They often show fake profits in your "account" to encourage more deposits, then make withdrawals difficult or impossible (claiming fees, taxes, or needing more money to "unlock"). No real regulation: Reviews couldn't verify proper licensing with Canadian regulators (IIROC/CSA). Legitimate platforms targeting Canadians are transparent about this. Fake testimonials and reviews: Their own site has glowing "verified" reviews with inconsistent numbers. YouTube "reviews" are mostly affiliate promo videos (they earn commissions on deposits/signups). Related 'fake' service reports: Similar names (e.g., Crest Maverick Broker) have Reddit complaints about fake profits followed by withdrawal blocks or demands for more money. The weird domain + tracking params: Legitimate financial companies do not use domains like "hetouchesitdies dot com" or heavy affiliate cloaking like this. This is infrastructure for running mass scam ads. The Cloudflare content you may have seen on the page is likely because these 'fake' operations often use Cloudflare for hosting/CDN/protection (or content cloaking). It doesn't make it legitimate.

Aly (@alishteinn) reportedMost Next.js websites are entirely too slow. I just boosted the Cursor Baku community site performance from 77 to 98. It is deployed on @Cloudflare, and the fixes were incredibly simple. If you want lightning-fast load times, steal these 4 tips: • Resize images to their actual display size before committing • Set minimumCacheTTL in next.config to cache image at the edge • Always set sizes on Next.js <Image> or retina fetches 4× the bytes • Wrap R2 reads with caches.default to serve media from the edge Fast load times build trust. Stop losing users over a slow website.
