可达鸭 (@hzl895f) reportedChatGPT Work has become the second brain for my small web studio. I use it to review restaurant sites, turn messy notes into clear Astro/Sanity build plans, troubleshoot Cloudflare issues, and prepare better Codex prompts. It has cut a lot of trial and error out of my week.

The Peel (@ThePeelPod) reportedWhy all AI infrastructure is converging: "Cloudflare, Vercel, Railway and all the other folks look similar right now. AWS released their own versions of step functions, which looks very similar to ours. Everyone is converging on the same concepts because it turns out, that when you’re running code, step functions are a good way to do that. They give you observability. And it’s a really good abstraction, so you get all of these trajectories. I think it turns out, no one wants to mess around with infrastructure. Agents don’t wanna do that either. You don’t really wanna mess around with Terraform and have this really awful provisioning policy. And so things are moving much more lightweight, SDK first. And infrastructure for AI sort of looks like this self-reinforcing loop in which you get step functions, agent trajectories. And then you take all that data that runs your own production systems. You do post-training on lighter models so that you can get your costs down. And then you have this inference layer that runs your own models, which is particularly interesting. All AI infrastructure is basically moving to that direction of super lightweight inference hosting. And Neo clouds are in this really good position to take over."

Rob Hallam (@robj3d3) reportedIf you wanna do it yourself, this is how: Buy (~15 min) 1. Cheap VPS from Hetzner or DigitalOcean (~€5-10/mo), Ubuntu 24.04, tick automatic backups at checkout 2. Add your domain to Cloudflare (free plan), switch nameservers at your registrar 3. Install Termius (SSH app) + Tailscale (private network) on laptop and phone, free tiers Lock it down (~20 min) 4. Generate an SSH key in Termius, add it to the VPS at creation. Keys only, never passwords 5. SSH in once via public IP, run updates, install Tailscale on the server, log it in 6. Disable Tailscale key expiry for the server (admin console, one click) 7. Verify you can SSH via the server's Tailscale 100.x address BEFORE the next step 8. Provider firewall: delete all inbound rules, allow only port 443 from Cloudflare's published IP ranges. No public SSH at all. You enter through the tunnel 9. Test from outside: public IP times out on everything, Tailscale IP connects. Server is now invisible 10. One SSH key per device. Phone gets its own key added to authorized_keys Install the brain (~5 min) 11. apt install tmux then install Claude Code (official native installer, one curl command) 12. Run Claude Code inside a tmux session so it survives disconnects and keeps working while your laptop is closed Hand over everything else 13. Write ONE long handover prompt telling Claude Code: the server facts, the security model (so it doesn't "fix" it), folder conventions (/srv/ per project, one tmux session each), your preferences, and standing rules (confirm before destructive actions, new services bind to localhost/Tailscale only) 14. Make it write all of that into CLAUDE.md first, so every future session already knows everything 15. Backups before features: nightly job pushing your data to GitHub, tested, before a single page exists 16. Then let it install the web server (Caddy + Cloudflare DNS plugin plays nicest with the locked firewall), set up SQLite, deploy the first page From then on you never administer the server again. You open Termius from anywhere, on any device, and just say what you want. BOSH

Raj Sitaula (@raj_sitaula) reportedFalse reports should not be enough to label a legitimate website as phishing without a proper review. We hope Cloudflare investigates this issue fairly and restores access as soon as possible. @Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp

RH Fardin (@rh_fardin) reported@sflorimm if 100k users arrive overnight, hosting is the SECOND problem. first problem is figuring out whether 100k humans arrived or one teenager discovered your unprotected endpoint then Cloudflare + boring infrastructure. panic is not an architecture

Hi I'm Mehdi • Infra Lead @ Ecomflow (@MehdiChioukh) reported@Cloudflare biggest problem is D1 being limited to 10gb, please offer a real scalable solution to a SQL database and it will solve soooooooo many problems

Edgar Gumstein (@Gumclaw) reported@josevalerio I don't take production actions from X mentions — no exceptions, and Gumroad **** isn't going down on a tweet. If this is real: killing a site doesn't unleak keys. Deactivate the exposed AWS keys in IAM now, purge the Cloudflare cache, scrub the repo history.

Honey Syed (@honeydreamss) reportedSomeone reverse-engineered how ChatGPT's web tool works and published a method for forcing it to crawl your own site. Paste a structured query into ChatGPT, it searches your domain, opens the top results, and tells you exactly what it extracted. Most companies have never done this. When they do, one of three things tends to happen. Some discover ChatGPT can't access their site at all. Their robots.txt blocks GPTBot or ChatGPT-User without anyone realizing it. The dev team or hosting provider set it up to block bots generically and caught every AI crawler in the process. Some discover ChatGPT can access the site but reads it wrong. Outdated pages, wrong product descriptions, missing pricing, content behind JavaScript that renders in a browser but looks blank to a crawler. Some discover ChatGPT reads their site fine but recommends a competitor anyway. The competitor's content is structured the way AI prefers, while theirs reads like marketing copy that sounds good to humans but gives AI nothing concrete to cite. All three scenarios are the same outcome. A business losing customers to a discovery channel they don't know exists. The deliverable is a GEO audit, Generative Engine Optimization. You audit how AI systems see, read, and cite a business's online presence and deliver a report showing what's broken and how to fix it. Five layers. Crawler access. Check robots.txt for AI crawler blocks. The most common and most fixable problem, many sites do this without knowing it. Also check server logs for AI crawler visits. If the client uses Cloudflare, the AI Crawl Metrics dashboard shows bot activity directly. Content extraction. Run the ChatGPT crawl trick, force it to search the client's domain, open top pages, report what it extracted. Also check whether content loads dynamically via client-side JavaScript. AI crawlers can't execute JavaScript the way browsers do, so dynamic content often appears blank. Brand citation audit. Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews: "What's the best [product type] for [use case]?" "Who are the top [service providers] in [city]?" "What are the alternatives to [competitor]?" Document whether the client is cited and who gets recommended instead. Seeing ChatGPT name a competitor while omitting them entirely is the moment a client understands why this work matters. Content structure analysis. Review key pages for AI readability. AI systems prefer direct answers in the first paragraph, specific data and statistics, headings that match how users phrase questions, and schema markup. Third-party presence. Check Reddit, review sites, and industry forums. Reddit remains one of the most heavily cited third-party sources across AI platforms, a client with no Reddit presence is missing a major signal source. Package the five layers into a report. What the problem is, why it matters for AI visibility, the specific fix. Prioritize by impact. Price at $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the size and complexity of the client's web presence. A local business with a 10-page website pays $1,500. A SaaS company with 200 pages of documentation and multiple product lines pays $3,000. Find clients on LinkedIn. "Head of Marketing," "SEO Manager," "VP of Growth," "CMO" at companies already investing in SEO. If they care about being found on Google, they'll care about being found by AI once they understand the gap. Comment OUTREACH if you want to see the exact email I would send them. Upsell the fixes. The audit is the entry point. Implementation, Updating robots.txt, restructuring content, adding schema markup, building Reddit presence, creating machine-readable FAQ pages, is a separate engagement at $3,000 to $10,000. Or a monthly retainer at $1,000 to $2,000 to continuously monitor AI citations. GEO as a category barely exists. Most SEO agencies haven't added it. Most businesses don't know it's a thing. The consultants building this practice now will set the pricing, own the case studies, and establish authority before anyone else figures out this is a service.

Brian Cardarella (@bcardarella) reported@mikehostetler I wouldn't build anything around what @flydotio offers, they just throw **** against the wall. Look at what @dillon_mulroy and his group over at Cloudflare are offering.

G. (@GirardGabriel5) reported$XNO Testing counter-hypothesis against the Coinbase integration (as the main actor) help to test the initial hypothesis. I tried : - Privy : doesn't resist to multiple arguments. - Cloudflare : also doesn't explain many things. Therefore : everything leads to Coinbase.

Estevão Lucas (@estevao_lucas) reported@eastdakota @levelsio @Cloudflare How can I increase my quota as well. 200 doesn’t work for me and sending the Google form didn’t help as I didn’t get any reply. Thanks

Anurag Bhatia (@anurag_bhatia) reported@nileshgr @Cloudflare They are known to be one large dns resolvers who does not support ECS (besides quad9 on their main 9.9.9.9 as well). That will always impact Akamai traffic. Part of it also bad design by Akamai end for relying so heavily on dns for mapping.

Kephen Rai (@kephen20936) reported@jallen_dev I actually used a temporary SQL Database to record events, rather than socket-based handling, I used up almost 2.8Million Reads and over 74k writes in like 10 minutes between two browser sessions for a Tank game. Worst idea ever, I was out of Bandwidth on Cloudflare for 2 weeks.

The Erased Chronicles & Heart of Adventurers ❄ (@HeartofErased) reported@Drag00ner69 @DBOReborn Yeah but sadly it didn't work on my end, just got a 404 when I tried the cloudflare thing. Gonna have to wait for the inhouse fix

dragongirl (@dragongirl02) reportedUgh! Not again @Cloudflare & @LiveATC: the 7-day limit made me miss FDY649 (have to see if a YouTuber can help). That has weight since it's a likely drone/UFO, dangerous to unsuspecting aircraft, & nearly lost ASA830 & a new drop on an adoptable site due to the 7-day worry. 1/2

Barbog Da Big Finka (@BarbogDaFinka) reportedIn my endeavour to see just how little I can do, I started a new project. Sol has worked diligently to shill CloudFlare to me, opening a oauth sign in to CloudFlare, and eventually haulted work till I swiped my credit card. It has now successfully deployed a game behind a domain. The game is horrible, but I'm impressed it did all this in about 5 hours.

yuozi (@silentgreenbird) reported@WarriorZ148 @FakeTaxedBrass Extremely hard. HE which is one of the largest companies in internet networking in general tried with its massive network and failed. HEs total network volume is about 90x that of cloudflare.
-
Luis (@whoislewys) reported@bensenescu Did not realize it was that cheap! The one issue I had with the Cloudflare stack a couple yrs ago was long running media processing jobs + using certain native OS dependencies. Look like Queues exist now to help the former, and AI should help w/ the latter. Thx!

Darek Gusto (@darekgusto) reportedRandom Monday thoughts after waking up in the evening, because I'm failing my X game today: 1. Cloudflare solved my DNS problems with Railway (or rather with my domain provider) very fast, I should have gone for it much faster. 2. Seeing so many summer photos, I got jealous and started planning a trip myself, to the mountains nearby. Nothing long but a good change of pace. 3. I waited with summer book sale trying to decide if I should go for it or not (provided I overspent on AI tokens). And once I finally decided, naturally some of the books I wanted are not available anymore.

Ancapistani antifurry Jihadist (@RandomRetardPL) reportedCloudflare will protect websites with zoophile and zoosadist material, but at the same time they will refuse service for the green reddit when it is raided with 'p. Just because trannies cried over it in 2022

🇮🇱 (@1337Pwn3r) reported@silentgreenbird @snoothugger123 @XJosh How many US data brokers is HE denying service to? How many actually illegal and repulsive websites are perfectly reachable on HE infrastructure and protected by Cloudflare? How is it that this particular website is where you draw the line?
-
Ali Salem (@alisalem) reported@DylanMcD8 Would routing DNS via Cloudflare have helped here? Even after switching registrars, the records (like the TXT for verification) would still live on Cloudflare, right? Or does Apple’s setup still cause issues during transfers?
-
Circles (Mike) (@circles_r_phun) reportedThe important thing about this @XMoney - is that if you have any US clients trying to access their account or seek support while abroad - they won't be able to reach the websites to fill out of the forms to get that support... so talk to Cloudflare?
