    @specialkdelslay First thing, put a free cloudflare account in front of this, see how much their basic bot mitigation helps. Next, if you don't mind throwing $20/mo at the CF pro plan, this is a mostly solved problem between their super bot fighter and ability to issue challenge requests from the predictable regions of the globe. If $20/mo isn't in the cards, you can keep blocking IPs and also look into blocking by certain headers and user agents.

    WHY WASTE 16 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME ON THIS AI ENGINEER EUROPE TALK WHEN I CUT THE 5 BEST MOMENTS INTO 4 MINUTES FOR YOU bright data engineer exposed why your ai agent lies about searching the web. cloudflare blocks 20% of web from ai. 60% of chatgpt citations are broken. agents hallucinate instead of saying "i can't" 00:00 - llms are programmed to please. they make things up instead of saying "i can't" 00:42 - cloudflare blocks 20% of web. 60% of chatgpt citations are broken 02:03 - gpt-5 fails all 5 web tasks without proper tools. zero out of five 02:42 - cloudflare labyrinth feeds ai fake data. bigger hallucinations 03:13 - don't parse with llm. build a parser. saves 99% of tokens bookmark this and watch the supercut below

    @steipete We hit this in our n8n workflows. PDF intake is slow (Cloudflare queue, async), Supabase lookups are fast. Treating them as different shapes from the start saved a lot of rework. are you running the slow side on a queue or polling?

    @EddCoates that nginx 500 is the scrapers basically ddosing you for free training data. robots txt is a polite suggestion they ignore now. what actually helps, put cloudflare in front with bot fight mode on, rate limit per asn not per ip since they rotate addresses, and consider a tarpit for the worst offenders. it is not legal so much as unenforceable at their scale, which is the real problem

    HERMES AGENT JUST TURNED WHATSAPP INTO A REAL AI WORKER But one tiny setup mistake can leave the entire bot completely silent. What Just Dropped: → Official WhatsApp Business Cloud integration → Run Hermes as a private assistant, team bot, or customer support agent → Text one WhatsApp number and get AI replies directly inside the chat Built Like A Proper App: ✓ Secure webhooks and official Meta support ✓ Voice notes, media, read receipts, and typing indicators ✓ Interactive approval buttons when Hermes needs confirmation The Setup: → Run `hermes whatsapp cloud` → Connect your Meta Business account and WhatsApp number → Use Cloudflare Tunnel to expose your local Hermes gateway securely Three Mistakes To Avoid: ✓ Use the 15–17 digit Phone Number ID, not your real phone number ✓ Replace the 24-hour test token with a permanent system-user token ✓ Subscribe to the `messages` webhook field or the bot will never receive anything For a reliable WhatsApp agent, use the official Cloud API path instead of the unofficial personal-account bridge.

    A DEVELOPER BUILT AN ENGINEERING SITE FOR A CORPORATE CLIENT AND CHARGED $3,200 FOR IT the hosting bill was $0, the domain was $0, the SSL was $0 he registered a free domain on DigitalPlat, pointed it at Cloudflare in twenty minutes, and deployed the site on Cloudflare Pages the client saw a live URL with a padlock and never asked what it cost to run here's the full stack he used: DigitalPlat free domain - no card, no renewal creep Cloudflare free plan - DNS, CDN, DDoS protection, SSL auto-issued Cloudflare Pages - connected to GitHub, builds and deploys automatically total infrastructure cost: $0, managed from one dashboard the mistake most developers make is paying three companies on three renewal cycles for every experiment they ship once the stack was locked, every new client demo went live in fifteen minutes $3,200 charged, $0 spent on infrastructure the margin was the entire point register first, deploy second, invoice third

    Vanilla web search in an always-on agent gets blocked. Not a Hermes bug. A structural 2026 problem. Cloudflare and Akamai are aggressive enough now that any general-purpose agent hits the wall. You need Tavily or equivalent. Budget time for it.

    @JamesSherlouk Hosted on R2 @Cloudflare, zipballs each dependency and mints it so it can never change. More control, mainly, we can just manage it pretty cheaply, but ultimately do some other stuff with it. I would quite like to build a little internal dashboard that shows our dependency graph, etc.

  • specialkdelslay
    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

    📌 The Illusion of Decentralization: Who Owns the Backbone of the Internet & AI in 2026? (Updated List) As you scroll daily, you might think you're navigating thousands of independent sites and apps. The reality? 90% of global data traffic flows through channels controlled by a select few. Here is who actually controls the world's digital backend: 1. The Cloud Big Three If these three companies went offline, half of the internet’s apps, banking systems, and aviation networks would vanish in seconds: * Amazon Web Services (AWS): Controls roughly a third of the entire global cloud market. It hosts giants like Netflix, Airbnb, and even highly sensitive government databases. * Microsoft Azure: The largest backbone for massive corporations, government institutions, and global digital identity systems. * Google Cloud: The third engine powering YouTube, massive big data research, and global startups. 2. The Gatekeepers These are the invisible shields you rarely see, but they control and protect your access to the internet: * Cloudflare: Manages and secures roughly 20-25% of all global web traffic. If Cloudflare goes down, half of the world's news outlets and crypto exchanges drop with it. * Akamai: The oldest and largest Content Delivery Network (CDN) in the world. They dictate how videos, live streams, and games reach billions of people without lagging. 3. The Hardware Monopoly Software is useless without processors, and this is where the greatest monopoly lies: * NVIDIA: Controls over 80% of the AI chip and data center GPU market. They essentially decide who has the compute power to train AI (like OpenAI and Meta) and who gets left behind. * TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor): The Taiwanese giant that manufactures almost all the world's advanced chips for Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm. If TSMC stopped, the production of global smartphones and military hardware would freeze. 4. The Submarine Cables (Who Owns the Physical Internet?) The internet isn't in the sky (satellites only cover a tiny fraction). 99% of global data travels through cables at the bottom of the ocean: * SubCom & ASN: The two companies responsible for laying and maintaining most of the world's underwater fiber-optic cables. * The Big Tech Alliance: Today, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon have become the largest investors and tenants of these cables, meaning they now physically own the routes data takes between continents. 5. The Institutional Masters If you dig deep into the shares of every media, tech, aviation, and defense company globally, you will always find three names repeating as the top institutional investors: * BlackRock (Manages over $10 Trillion in assets). * Vanguard Group (Manages roughly $8 Trillion in assets). * State Street These funds don't run the companies day-to-day, but they hold massive voting power to dictate board members and the strategic direction of these giants (from Apple and Microsoft to oil and defense contractors). 💡 The Bottom Line: The internet is no longer the free, distributed network it was once touted to be. It has evolved into a highly centralized infrastructure where a few massive corporations and investment funds dictate what you see, what you hear, and how your data flows.

    Have 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?

    @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.

    @ShamashAran I was on cloudflare ******* with DNS last night. I hate DNS The **** I run locally works fine, but that's because it's me and a text file.

    Two changes to how I work with agents: 1. GitHub App so the agents manage issues directly. Keeps the repo clear of throwaway spec and todo files. 2. EmDash (Cloudflare's serverless WordPress successor) for internal docs. Runs on D1, just SQLite under the hood, so I can export the content and move it anywhere. No more docs sprawl.

  • skibidiblazor
    tidux (@skibidiblazor) reported

    @prestonjbyrne Not to mention because the major cloud providers have their own international cables between datacenters they'd have to put that DPI filter in front of Cloudflare, Cloudfront, Azure and Google CDNs, YouTube, etc.... it would make the Internet unusably slow.

    @EddCoates There's always Cloudflare. It kind of sucks having to give up SSL encrypted content to a 3rd party (they re-issue another SSL connection), but sucks less than getting ddos's by these stupid clanker suckbots.

    @benlandautaylor the only tech layoff that can’t be explained by bad financials (either due to post ZIRP overhang or increased AI capex) seems to be Cloudflare. So I guess not for tech really

    I also understand that some of the words on pallets changed. PLEASE NOTE THAT the words were minted onchain, so your words are safe! We shifted the hosting site to Cloudflare after so many api calls (why the site was down for a couple of days) Please bear with us. working hard right now

    Day 0 support for MCP servers on Cloudflare, with Workers OAuth Provider. Thanks to our customers for working with us to ship this for the wider ecosystem :) Sounds small but this is massive for MCP auth in large companies.

    @EddCoates Had the same issue on one of our sites receiving millions of hits from scrapers while getting just a few thousands legit visitors per day. The only way is to be extremely aggressive in your Cloudflare setup.
