  @DefenceForceOrg Only thing that I do know is that I had similar issues few years ago adding Cloudflare to my then Wordpress site. No clue how I solved it in the end other than that it did cost lots of frustration and Google research.

  Spent time this AM using Claude to help diagnose why my websites were down, no solution. They came back up, now looking in Cloudflare - it was CLAUDE SEARCHBOT that took it down.

  @Domainji I can use dns service, not just cloudflare, would rather do it at the registrar level. Don't use name .com anymore, so doesn't matter to me atm.

  @satinvictus Yeah, had another one today too, it just links the rules, but doesn't tell me which one was broken. Not sure if it's actually a lock, or just some cloudflare thing.

  I fell down a rabbit hole last week trying to name a new side project. After striking out on cloudflare 50 times, I realized something hilarious about how tech companies actually get their names. Few cheat codes: 1) The "Look Around the Room" Pivot Every tech word is gone, so you just stare blankly and name your startup after a completely random object. (Juicebox, Fireworks, Pinecone) 2) The "Vowel Starvation Diet" Buying the letter 'e' costs an extra $50k, so you just drop it entirely. (Flickr, Tumblr) 3) The "Slap an '-ify' or '-ly' on it" Bailout When you need a domain right now and grammar is merely a suggestion. (Shopify, Spotify, Calendly) 4) The "Polite Begging" Prefix Your actual name is taken, so you just tell users what to do instead. (GetPocket, TryGhost) 5) The "Noble Philanthropist" Prefix Slapping "Open" in front to sound benevolent, when you're really just dodging domain fees. (OpenAI, OpenSea) So yeah, behind every visionary brand name is a founder who just refused to pay a domain squatter.

  Fix gaps in this order: 1. Eligibility 2. Trust 3. Relevance First check crawler access, robots.txt, Cloudflare settings, NAP consistency and structured data. New content has limited value if AI systems can't access or confidently interpret the site.

  hi @lastfm team, I hope you guys will consider adding a AI DDOS/scraping blocking feature (such as cloudflare or Anubis) to the site as I’m assuming the site is constantly being hit by AI scraper bots. Many other sites have implemented this already so not sure if backend issue?

  @MrBonMot Thing is, Jim. Is that as much as we become reliant on the web? If Cloudflare goes down or a major outage - we are stuck in transactional hell. Cash is king..always.

  ANTHROPIC SHIPPED A CRON SCHEDULER FOR AI AGENTS AND ALMOST NOBODY COVERED IT. Every thread you’ve seen about Claude Managed Agents is still recycling the April 8 launch post. Three months later the product barely resembles that announcement. What actually shipped since: •Scheduled deployments (June 9). Give an agent a cron schedule. Every time it fires, the agent opens a fresh session and completes the task. No scheduler to build, no scheduler to host. •Environment variables in vaults. Register an API key with the domains it’s allowed to reach. The sandbox only holds a placeholder. The real key gets attached at the network boundary, on approved domains only. The model never sees it. •Self-hosted sandboxes (May 19). The agent loop stays on Anthropic’s infrastructure. Tool execution moves inside your perimeter. Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal and Vercel are supported out of the box. •Memory graduated from research preview to public beta. Only MCP tunnels and dreaming are still gated behind an access request. Pricing almost nobody quotes correctly: standard token rates plus $0.08 per session-hour. Runtime is metered to the millisecond and only accrues while the session status is “running.” Waiting on your reply or a tool confirmation costs nothing. Now the part the hype threads skip. Managed Agents is stateful by design. Conversation history, sandbox state and outputs are stored server-side. Anthropic’s own docs state that this makes it ineligible for Zero Data Retention and for HIPAA BAA coverage. So every “finally, a secure alternative to hosting agents yourself” take has it exactly backwards. You get sandboxing, scoped permissions and execution tracing. You give up data retention guarantees. For legal, health and financial workloads that trade is the whole decision. Old way: build the loop, the sandbox, the scheduler and the secret vault yourself, then ship in months. New way: define the agent, point it at a cron, ship in days, and read the compliance page before you move anything sensitive through it.

  @DrDavidVernon @britishlibrary Thank you for those kind words. The site was severely damaged by a server upgrade at my university, and for years I thought it was gone forever. Thankfully, repair (albeit tedious) has been possible. Now I've taken full ownership of all aspects of the site, so if it's damaged again, it will be because Cloudflare accidentally shut down the internet again (as it did a few years ago).

  Someone 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.

  Most DevOps engineers have heard of the term "reverse proxy," but few understand what it actually means. I was in a technical interview once where someone confidently said, "Nginx is a reverse proxy," but couldn't explain what that meant or why it mattered. Let me break this down. >> A Forward Proxy (Proxy) sits between you and the internet. << > You want to visit a website. > Your request goes through the proxy first. > The proxy makes requests on your behalf. > The website sees the proxy's IP, not yours. > This is what VPNs do. > This is what corporate networks use to control what employees can access. The client is hidden. The server doesn't know who the real requester is. >> A Reverse Proxy flips this completely. << > You're trying to access a website. > You think you're connecting to the actual server. > But you're hitting a proxy that sits in front of the real servers. > The proxy receives your request, decides which backend server should handle it, forwards it there, gets the response, and sends it back to you. > You have no idea how many servers are behind that proxy. The servers are hidden. This is what Nginx does. This is what Load Balancers do. >> Use Cases of Proxy and Reverse Proxy << >> Forward Proxy: Bypassing Restrictions Suppose your government banned your favorite sites, and you still want to access them. - That's when you use a Forward Proxy (VPN). - It routes your traffic through another country. Suddenly, you're browsing those sites behind locked doors. >> Reverse Proxy: Protecting Your Infrastructure Suppose your website is popular, and you keep getting DDoS attacks by hackers, and your servers are melting. - This is where you use a Reverse Proxy. - It hides your servers behind Cloudflare or AWS WAF. - Attackers hit the proxy, not your infrastructure. - Add firewall rules and rate limiting at the proxy level. - Bad traffic never reaches your servers. >> But Modern Reverse Proxies Do Much More << - Traditional reverse proxies (Nginx/HAProxy) focused on load balancing. Modern reverse proxies (Envoy/Cloudflare) have evolved into Zero Trust enforcement points: - They continuously verify user identity and device health before granting access. - They provide granular, encrypted access to specific resources. - They operate as an identity-aware security mesh, not just traffic routers. - This is the shift from "hide and distribute" to "verify and enforce." To Conclude: A forward proxy hides you from the internet. A reverse proxy hides the internet from you.

  @TimJayas amazon, google and cloudflare have more than enough compute to host those models but they won't. and shouldn't. there is simply no way to red team an open weight model of that size. it could be full of embedded backdoors, and you would never know.

  Please stop using Opus 4.8 for your serious production apps. I built something with @DrizzleORM, @Cloudflare D1 and @expo I asked Opus to add status to one of my schemas, and it used plain text instead of Enum for type safety with database CHECK constraint, since there will be only: -active -pending -suspended This is actually a bad sign that this model just generates slop

  The 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?

  @Cloudflare Update 5: I know that some users (not all) are reporting that they can't access the web. We changed providers yesterday, however this might lead to SSL issues and show an error. Since the false flag report is still not down by @Cloudflare and Grindingsoft - it may block you from entering still. You can try CMD + Shift + R to see if it works. If not, please remain patient while we are still looking to fix this!

  Turn any website into agent-ready data! Loop engineering is about designing systems that run agents autonomously. Instead of prompting your agent manually each turn, you write a loop that finds the work, hands it to the agent, checks what came back, and decides what happens next. Your job is to design the loop once and walk away. But loops that need live information from the web hit a real constraint. JS-heavy pages return empty content. Anti-bot systems return challenge pages. Login walls block access entirely. When the model gets weak context back, it still responds - just less accurately. Anakin is building the source-access layer underneath agents. URL Scraper turns any URL into clean Markdown, HTML, or structured content immediately usable by an LLM. Built for scale across 200M+ active websites globally, including a large chunk of Cloudflare and Akamai-protected pages. Authenticated sessions handle content behind login walls. Wire handles workflow-heavy sites. Login flows, navigation, form submission, report exports - all accessible through a stable API. Define the workflow once and Wire keeps it working as websites change. Key capabilities: • Clean Markdown, HTML, or structured output from 200M+ active websites • Built for difficult pages including Cloudflare and Akamai-protected sources • Authenticated sessions for content behind login walls • Wire for login flows, navigation, form submission, and export-based access • Useful for AI agents, RAG systems, finance intelligence, and vertical AI workflows I've shared the link in the replies!
