Toby Marshman (@tobymarshman) reportedHave you accidentally blocked yourself from AI search? OpenAI/Claude's searchbots get blocked more often than any other crawler, usually as a side effect of generic robots.txt templates, not intentional policy. >>The fix: -Open your robots.txt if you have one (go to yourdomain .com/robots.txt) -Remove any rules blocking OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, or GPTBot. Instead add: User-agent: * Allow: / -If you're using Cloudflare, check your bot management settings - set to 'Do not block (allow crawlers)' -If you're on a managed host, check their crawler settings too, many block non-Google bots by default If you're blocking those bots, you don't exist in AI search. Have you done this?

Flandermaxx (@Flandermaxx) reportedA 28 year old Chinese engineer in Singapore bills 11 SaaS startups $63,400 a month for inference they think is running on AWS H100s. Forty NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano boards stacked inside three IKEA boxes on the floor. A used Quest 3 on the bed. A half empty can of Yeo's chrysanthemum tea on the windowsill, still cold. The whole farm draws less power than his electric kettle. Each Jetson runs Llama 3.3 70B through MLC LLM, quantized to 4 bit. Each one serves embeddings, classification, and draft outputs at $0.40 per million tokens. OpenAI charges $0.60 for the same. A Cloudflare worker rewrites the response headers to read like an AWS us-east-1 region. The startups never check. They never asked. pause at 0:22, the camera holds on the IKEA boxes for two seconds. Everyone saw moving boxes. Almost nobody saw the holes drilled in the back. They were not for shelf pegs. They were the GPU intake. $63,400 in. $0 OpenAI bill. Hardware paid for itself in 11 weeks. His dad still thinks he is studying for the GMAT. He still calls home every Sunday at 8 p.m. He still says he has not picked a school. He still wears the same Uniqlo hoodie in every video call. He still has not mentioned the Stripe dashboard. A data center has racks, cooling, redundancy. He has three IKEA boxes, a kettle, forty boards humming quieter than the AC.

Ciccio Diddo 🐧🇪🇺🚽 (@CiccioDiddo) reported@EddCoates another interesting cloudflare function is AI labirynt ... it create a ton of fake content filled with nofollow links generated by some **** IA... so the scraper spends a ton of resources to traverse all links then, if not enough start to ban by AS number instead of single IP

Elie Steinbock ~ getinboxzero.com (@elie2222) reportedGot a Vercel bill down from $4,200/mo to $120/mo. Some notes: - This is a free B2C product that went somewhat viral. - To get cost down I first optimised Vercel itself. Better caching. Move images to Hetzner / Cloudflare / AWS. - I also switched off server rendering. This product didn't need it. Moved everything to SWR. These changes were needed for better caching. - The big drop at the end is because I moved a lot to a Hono server on Hetzner. - I reused an existing Hetzner server so there were no extra costs there. But even if using a new one, the extra cost would have been only another ~$30/mo. - For B2B products it's usually not worth worrying about. This product had 15k+ signups in the last month. If you have thousands of paying customers, you're making 7 figures per year and a few k to Vercel isn't critical. This product was free, so it was painful to be burning dollars on it. - No need to waste money you don't need to, but the peace of mind with Vercel handling any scale, and you having zero DevOps is a major plus. - You can always make the adjustments I did. It's easy with AI. You're not locked in forever. - The switch I made to Hono was a simple one. It doesn't have load balancing. The server should hold up, but for a B2B SaaS I'd invest more time in a stable setup (which would also cost more time and money). - Vercel makes less sense for a B2C app that goes somewhat viral. It's still my go to every time, but need to be ready to move if you do see some real growth. - The product still uses Vercel. But many of GET requests now go to Hono. PS, this isn't for @inboxzero_ai which is prosumer/B2B focused and isn't free (other than 7 day free trial).

Bernardo Gonzalez (@bgonzalesp) reported@CloudflareHelp @Cloudflare how do you expect we can contact support to gain access to my account, if you require to login to send a help request??? It's simple logic... I assume that your really don't care about helping your customers

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.

Jasper Disney (@jasper_disney) reportedAs an unsuccessful app builder, I only need to pay 5 dollars to Cloudflare each month. Life is not that bad.

Maaz Perwez (@MaazMz) reported@Aurarri How is it easier to install another app and then turn it on rather than doing it inside the app for which I want to use proxy? Plus cloudflare will control all of my network while telegram proxy only changes telegram...

nemmy (@Pandaptable_) reported@UseCider cloudflare for a page that just connects to a local instance.... truly genius engineering.... holy **** you guys are incompetent fix the cpu usage already it's using more than the official am client with lossless

Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reportedDay 28 of 30. 30 Days of Practical Tech. A reverse proxy is a server that sits in front of your real server. Cloudflare runs one for free in front of millions of sites. Visitors hit Cloudflare's IP never yours so attackers can't find your machine. Tomorrow Day 29: what a CDN actually is.

special k | CEO of stressed out era (@specialkdelslay) reported@DispairSoftware @DataDeLaurier No no, I am showing the IPs of the ones hitting our site. They belong to openai (afaik). Cloudflare has helped with some of the bot activity but not all of it. I think they make the assumption that openai, claud, et al are good actors who will honor txt directives, when I can see for sure they are not. What he was telling me is to tunnel connections thru cloudflare and host privately but those things wouldn't mitigate this particular issue
-
José Batista (@JoseBatista4321) reported@EddCoates Sir, as an amateur game developer I find your website very interesting. Just use Cloudflare, I guess it will do. But if not, you can look out for something to block IPs. If the problem is real crawlers, you can block them by their user-agent.
-
Nikhil Agarwal (@nikhildp) reportedEveryone please don't fall for false advertising of @Cloudflare @CloudflareDev. They have several billing issues that you can find easily on reddit and their customer support is bad. I moved from GCP to Cloudflare and that was a terrible mistake. Got to move back now!

Caleb Sylvest (@calebsylvest) reported@jasondoesstuff Skip the CMS. Recently did the same. Used Claude to build everything Used Astro. Deployed to Cloudflare. Writing with MDX. Pre-rendered everything and served from Cloudflare edge network. Basically a fast as possible.
-
Kolar😎 (@Kolar_Dev) reportedAs a product builder, avoid putting your entire infrastructure under a single provider. If your database is running on an EC2 instance, keep backups somewhere independent, such as Cloudflare R2. The goal isn't just redundancy, it's leverage. No single provider should be able to take your product offline, lock you out, or put your business at risk with a single outage or account issue.

Agrit Tiwari (@agrit_tiwari) reportedWorlds are a good concept but we need a bridge built by both sides of @vercel and @Cloudflare world. Even workflows has a long PR pending just to support the wasm runtime for running workflow SDK on Cloudflare. But they are continuously innovating with frontier stances on agent stack.
-
./can (@shcansh) reportedAdding validity checks for Azure and Salesforce tokens is the real win in the latest secret scanning updates. Instead of chasing ghosts, devs can now see if a leaked credential is still active. But with 11 GitLab token types added and new blocks for Cloudflare, we are putting a lot of trust in automated regex. Are active validity checks actually enough to stop the leak crisis, or are we just treating the symptoms of a broken secret-management culture?

پارسوا (@imparsua) reported@DougMadory I think the udp whitelist has been set up on this network and is limited to a number of large global resolvers such as Google, Cloudflare and etc ...
-
Phil Smith (@itsPhil) reported@David_mduw Spin it up, yes. Understand what you built, or what you may have built wrong, not so much. The issues for the non-technical user are going to be things like not understanding when they are trying to build on a server-less platform like Cloudflare, when in fact, they are prompting their way into a site that really needs server side processes. The LLM may or may not point this out to the user, but it will continue trying to build it anyway if the user keeps prompting.

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.

FILM DB | ۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗh (@FemiSuccess7) reported@OzorNdiOzor Yankee businesses know how to run a business properly I made a mistake with one of my websites on Cloudflare and made over 60 billion database writes in a month that become like $80 of bill to clear, I texted their support and explained to them and they cut it to $6 immediately!
