-
FSKY (@fskyio) reported@rawkode @stolinski >Forges should be distributed >They should run on the largest MITM network in the world (Cloudflare) might as well just use GitHub at that point
-
NickelodeonLover (@DanielO04532942) reported@Cloudflare Just fix the error 251 already
-
R Max (@rmaxdev) reported@SpeakezTech @Cloudflare Agents act in behalf of an existing customer
-
The Lifer (Carlotta's Pet 💎♦️❄️) (@TheLifer_87373) reported@lynxuuk Yep, actually I was tracking and several domains fell so I suppose is a cloudflare or mayor host issue, it's solved now so...
-
tcpdump (@dump_tcp) reported@BrodieOnLinux No they just have bad ddos protection @ubuntu they need better webserver that can atleast handle 1gbps outgoing traffic for cloudflare can detect the high traffic use then it mitigates the attack within around 3 seconds #cloudflare
-
Winston Brown (@WinstonBrown_) reportedis 1.1.1.1 down? @Cloudflare
-
cheeseallovermyfries (@cheesealloverme) reported@thsottiaux Can you fix plugins? The API endpoint is getting 403 from cloudflare on Windows so the plugins page is missing from the sidebar and plugins aren’t working
-
Yaniv Kaul (@YanivKaul) reportedThis was caused by @Cloudflare warp service definition and was fixed by @opencode ! Yay!
-
Jason (@webmaster) reportedfwiw, I get some variation of this on almost every Shopify site lately. 4 sites just yesterday. Rate limited on cart changes, constant Cloudflare verifications, random errors, etc Shopify merchants are using all these anti spam tools that are overcorrecting on VPNs and agent automation Shopify sites are nearly unusable these days and I go straight to Amazon to buy the product instead of doing it direct
-
Shayan Mashatian (@shayanrm) reported@trydotworks @hiradp @Cloudflare I had a very customer support experience with GoDaddy a few years ago, moved all of our services from them.
-
Hammed Oyedele (@devhammed) reportedAnother advantage of using the Manager pattern in @laravelphp is that you can easily add new implementations without affecting your application code when you swap. Added Google and Cloudflare DNS, and they are even based on the same HTTP DNS Service class; I just provided a different base URL and query path to it to use the DNS-over-HTTP spec to resolve records.
-
Raj Pundkar (@rajpundkar) reportedSerious wake-up call for open-source infra.313 Team (pro-Iran) hitting Canonical’s security APIs + repos right when new kernel vulns are out is nasty. Delaying patches for millions of systems. Canonical should have proper #DDoS mitigation (@Cloudflare /@Akamai level) on critical paths. Anyone else seeing repo issues or already switched to local mirrors? Stay patched folks #Ubuntu #CyberSecurity
-
Cyber Wolf (@Lone_Wolf_Awoo) reported@letterboxd Why do I keep getting this cloudflare security check multiple times a day on the site? It really slows things down and makes it a lot less fun to click around.
-
Mohit (@mohitdotdev) reportedCloudflare Pages is about to report an outage.
-
Tyler van der Hoeven (@kalepail) reportedThis is actually crazy. Clankers with Cloudflare accounts. We're one step closer, and there aren't many steps left, to my vision of autonomous, agentic, organizations building full micro products and services. It's clankers all the way down.
-
Matt 'TK' Taylor (@MattieTK) reported@caiobchi @Cloudflare @CloudflareDev hey! how are you managing the jekyll site? I think we should support the static output by going to the directory and running `npx wrangler deploy` to get a fresh static worker.
-
tcpdump (@dump_tcp) reported@Canonical #cloudflare cdn is volumetric based so if under high load ddos it will detect and block the attack or you're webserver backend is the bottleneck issue probably
-
JMT (@JoakimThomsen) reported@Cloudflare This is perfect for Cloudflare! Since the interfaces are so terrible, having an agent will free newbies (like me) from reading 100 page manuals, various Reddit and blog articles, just to understand how to setup a tunnel (or anything really).
-
Captain-EO 👨🏾💻 (@EOEboh) reported6/11 CDN: If your users are global, your origin server shouldn't be their only option. A CDN (Cloudflare, Akamai, CloudFront) caches static assets at edge nodes close to users worldwide, reducing latency and protecting your origin server from traffic it never has to see.
-
Lain on the Blockchain (@CryptoCyberia) reported@ExactlyBackward @FourVork I have no idea, but that's certainly a great statement to want to find. My understanding is that, with the power of vibe coding, updates to things like Github, AWS, Amazon store website, Cloudflare verification, etc., are breaking for normal use, but it's possible that malicious entities are targeting these services ans finding exploits in the new code thst weren't there before. Then there's the other side, which I think you're hinting at, where malicious users are finding exploits that would have worked in previous versions and the latest versions, and then, naturally, the thought line goes "perhaps those malicious actors are using LLMs to find exploits that existed for forever in the code, and therefore, the increase in services going down is because of attackers using LLMs, not the services' teams making oopsies bc of LLMs.
-
everything (@Aylard7) reported@TheAhmadOsman I prefer cloudflare tunel (free) to app (free) limited with policy to only given e-mails login (family members). That way even custom domain works, and each service is dynamically created. All other are behind UFW and such, closed only to LAN.
-
Anicet (@AniC_dev) reported@El_chivo_dorra @Cloudflare their sandbox is quite limited compared to a VPS for a pricing down the line if you use it at work that isn't beneficial
-
Felix Guo (@felix_guo_daxia) reported@itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.
-
Adarsh (@Adarsh_Web3) reported@Shefali__J @Railway It is not working on Jio Internet 😭 buying domain and puting in cloudflare will fix it for everyone. Thanks for letting know 🥹🫶
-
🇨🇦🇷🇿🇪🇳 (@e0syn) reportedyeah like that's my thing, they at least larp it. cloudflare is a serious company that after an incident where I had my **** stolen, they allowed me to verify by actual ID, etc. google itself was the opposite, said it would be some security breach to do so, and didn't respond in time which resulted in complete loss of everything I had on their services
-
rankseostrategies (@rankseostrateg1) reportedFix 2: Enable browser caching. Fix 3: Add a CDN (Cloudflare — free tier). Caching = repeat visitors don't re-download the same files. CDN = users get content from the nearest server, not your hosting location. Combined: dramatically faster load times worldwide.
-
Kyle Alm (@keepkalm) reported@austinginder You can put the login behind Cloudflare zero-trust and have a layer of security that way.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedTech systems are incredibly complex and interdependent—cloud services, constant updates, and global scale mean glitches happen periodically. Apple's Weather app had a backend outage (now resolved per their status page). Similar recent issues at Azure, Cloudflare, etc., often stem from maintenance, config changes, or traffic spikes rather than one big cause. Not unusual in big tech.
-
Saket Tawde (@SaketCodes) reportedConvenience tax, which I actually happily pay for the projects which are on Cloudflare. Plus target audience (for this tool) is folks who are not on AWS for a reason. I mean, I just built a landing page with a registration form the other day, and the best part, didn't have to manage a single secret anywhere in the code or the settings UI, I never left my terminal, thanks to their Bindings. The real value with CF is iteration velocity. Not everyone's cuppa, but definitely well positioned for the eco system we are in.

Claudio Fuentes (@claud_fuen) reported@louis030195 @compliantvc @MartinShkreli fixed, damn cloudflare!
