  Why shouldn't you use Cloudflare? AI Overview While Cloudflare protects and accelerates millions of websites, critics point out several major drawbacks: massive centralization that creates single points of failure, overly aggressive security checks that frustrate users, and concerns over traffic privacy.📷 Reddit·r/selfhosted +2Several factors drive the consensus around Cloudflare's limitations:1. The "Single Point of Failure" (Centralization)Because Cloudflare handles traffic for a massive portion of the internet, when their network experiences an outage or configuration error, it takes down thousands of websites and applications globally. This excessive reliance essentially centralizes a decentralized internet. 📷Reddit·r/selfhosted +22. Aggressive Bot Detection and CAPTCHAsCloudflare’s security aggressively flags traffic based on IP addresses. This often leads to legitimate human visitors being blocked, repeatedly prompted to solve CAPTCHAs, or hit with "Checking your browser" screens. VPN users and people using privacy-focused browsers are disproportionately penalized and frequently locked out of websites. 📷Reddit·r/CloudFlare +23. Traffic Decryption and Privacy ConcernsTo provide their security and caching services, Cloudflare acts as a "man-in-the-middle" by terminating TLS (HTTPS) connections. This means their servers decrypt and inspect your traffic before re-encrypting it and sending it to the website. For users and website owners who value absolute privacy, this is a major concern, as it gives a single corporate entity enormous insight into global web traffic. 📷Reddit·r/CloudFlare +14. False Positives and Site BlockingCloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) can sometimes wrongly interpret benign, everyday user actions as cyberattacks, blocking users from accessing necessary information. In some cases, users attempting to access fully legitimate web properties are unable to proceed, which negatively impacts user experience. 📷Reddit·r/CloudFlare +35. Vendor Lock-in and Hidden CostsWhile Cloudflare offers a popular free tier, upgrading to their enterprise or advanced plans can become highly expensive. Users frequently cite "bill shock" once they scale their website traffic or require advanced features that are locked behind expensive paywalls.

  @Cloudflare This must be your most expensive service. Can you reduce the cost? Using it to build idempotent services, WebSockets, or agents is really expensive.

  @upstash @divinprnc @joshtriedcoding Upstash Redis works like magic, like Apple products in 2014. You click create, and you can use it everywhere, at a very good price. Currently, it feels really hard to find a database which is globally distributed. Planetscale, Neon etc all go “buy this compute x5”. Why not just bill me for the compute I used? I don’t really care how many CPUs I can use, it should just be a database. The industry needs a database which is affordable for indie devs who have 5 users and scales to 0, will scale up to enterprise load. I don’t want to worry about read replicas and where they are, I don’t want to worry about data being lost. Cloudflare is trying with D1, but has terrible DX. Upstash is the only company who could do something like this. Lmk if the team would want to chat to me about it.

  @cosmostation888 @HugoPhilion Just based off what they say and who they're connected to. You have to dissect the facts from the noise, especially those who use "prophecy" as an investment criteria. But, if they succeed at building strong rails inside of ACH payments that directly connect to banks they could see a pretty great increase in price. I think they have a shot, but I could lose all my investment with them. They're currently in my mid-conviction tier. I do think they can do pretty alright, though, and maybe they'll even surprise us all. There's a lot of folks who are, in my opinion, overly optimistic with the dots they've connected. I'm a bit more balanced and tend to lean on what's actually been said/announced... For instance they call themselves a Ripple strategic partner. They also said Ripple invested in them. To date I can't find a single Ripple announcement that confirms that. What I did find is that Ripple granted them a lot of xrp to put on Stronghold'd exchange. At the time Xpring was solely focused only on expanding the xrp market, so that made sense. And also at the time, my understanding is that Stronghold removed the xlm/shx pair on that exchange and replaced it with xrp/shx. BUT, that exchange is dead now, the old URL resolves to their homepage. Further, they're not listed anywhere that I can find as a true Ripple investment; meaning Ripple gave them capital. There's no Form D filed with the SEC between Ripple and Stronghold (or Action Factory (Stronghold's founding company owned by Tammy)) and no official Ripple announcement. They're not even listed on the RippleX site where Ripple disclose's their investment portfolio. Does it mean that Ripple didn't invest? No, they could have in a more obscure way, but it could also mean that Stronghold is inflating the relationship and calling the xrp they received an investment/partnership... They could have been Ripple's partner in expanding xrp, but that deal could have been one-sided in Ripple's favor, and Stronghold only benefited from the exposure. Getting strong talking points is a valid growth strategy so who knows. The point is that without announcements from both sides (otherwise called "confirmation") or a paper trail that you can validate the claims yourself, you're leaving it to faith, and imaginations can run wild when you blindly believe what's claimed. Even still, Stronghold shows an impressive number of investors and advisors on their site. But again, that's coming from them. So what I have been able to track down is that Stronghold is based in SF, they have about 30+ people on LinkedIn who claim to work there full time (predominantly software engineers who live in New Zealand and a few other places), Stronghold is a Delaware entity (normal for privacy and taxes) that is owned by Action Factory, and their trademark is in fact registered and live. Action Factory and Stronghold both trace back to the same address in San Francisco. Both Action Factory and Stronghold's URL use identical CloudFlare name servers and that's a strong connection because those are unique to Cloudflare users. So the same person is managing both domains under one account. So at a minimum we know that Action Factory and Stronghold are the same entity both sitting at the same address at the time of inception. Doesn't mean they don't have a different corporate location now. There's no issue with that. Most recently they called their listing on Uphold as a partnership for institutions and tagged Uphold in the post. That's a brave move if not completely true, but those claims again have to be taken on faith. @UpholdMarkets (Uphold's marketing twitter account for their listings) did post about $shx, but they didn't mention institutions in that post. So we're back to faith there. I have never been able to confirm any of the investments or partnerships they claim outside of the now dead xrp moment with Ripple on their now dead trade[dot]stronghold[dot]co exchange. It's all Stronghold saying it, there's no confirmation from the other side. And the one everyone loves is the IBM trial in a closed loop environment. That was real, but it's long over now. Stronghold has moved away from Stronghold USD and their focus has shifted completely to leveraging other existing networks. IBM was a great name to tout for marketing, but the strength of that moment mattering has long passed for me. So my criteria won't let me over invest on what "might happen." I'd rather miss some upside than be completely wrong if they miss their shots or if they're "faking it until they make it" but never actually make it.

  Can directly confirm this behavior, Cloudflare is blocking from legit ISPs to VPNs IPs too Too bad for this critical moment...

  your claude.md is already wrong you write a CLAUDE.md once and assume it's done. then your codebase evolves. dependencies shift, ports change, schemas multiply. the file sits there looking authoritative while everything around it drifts turns out /init isn't a generator. on repos with existing docs, it's an auditor. reads your CLAUDE.md, cross-references against lockfiles and configs, surfaces what stopped matching while the code moved forward i ran it on 4 repos. repo 1 had npm commands documented but was running on bun.lock. wrong port hardcoded. both had been true once, both silently false now. nothing broke bc npm commands mostly work on bun projects anyway. you just try the wrong URL then the right one, forget about it repo 3 was undocumented. multi-frontend catalog system, Astro frontends, Hono backend, SQLite. no README. /init did 4 parallel tool passes and reconstructed the entire delivery chain: SQLite schema, export pipeline, Astro build under Node 22 (not Bun bc of SSG renderer constraints), rsync to nginx, Cloudflare Workers routing. one pass. specific enough to navigate without asking repo 4 had 64 lines of CLAUDE.md. /init found 5 silent lies. package manager mismatch. schema states (3 documented vs 7 real). routing layer that was actually a full processor. undocumented mode switches. port number wrong in 3 places documentation drift doesn't announce itself like a build error. it's corruption in a save file. the game keeps running, the numbers look fine. then the boss fight hits and the stats don't add up the work isn't generating boilerplate. it's finding the delta between what you wrote and what the code actually became i build and ship daily with Claude Code. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, I've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  balrog-deep in some rabbit hole about esp32 support for anycast (i.e.: it doesn't support it), and why my devices intermittently can't connect to Cloudflare workers for some days at a time and it turns out there is something called DNS over HTTPS which is my way out?

  TIL @digitalocean blocks SMTP ports on your VPS 🫠 i was looking for a mail service provider and ended up choosing Purelymail, they have one $10/year (yea, YEAR) for unlimited mails (transactional, they prohibit marketing ones). And now i found out that DO blocks the SMTP ports So now im looking at either Cloudflare (probably favorite since i already use Cloudflare) or Amazon SES but it's so annoying to pick/pay/setup the whole thing only to found out it doesn't work because of this stupid thing

  @IricMidel Porkbun and Cloudflare. I stopped using Hostinger because they failed to provide me with a new ip on an upgrade, I had 4 days of downtime. They are overly focused on AI rather than good web services and their support sucks. Never use Godaddy. Overpriced and they steal domains.
