  Online stores are panicking that AI bots are crawling their site and "stealing" their catalog. So they hit the one-click Cloudflare toggle and block everything. Most are solving the wrong problem — and quietly hurting themselves. 🧵

  @AirtelNigeria The file sent just shows that nothing is returned from Cloudflare when accessed on your network

  I was on one of these lists and it was very unfair.... a test QnA site deployment I can *almost* understand spamming, but even our best hardened instance in production was such a target, I eventually shut it down, rather than have it consume all backend attention and eventually pay Cloudflare to protect it. 30,000 useless test attacks per hour at one point... about 98% of actual traffic. And that was in the days when 80% of the script kiddies were manually starting/stopping their runs.

  Every API you've ever used has a limit. Tweet too fast? 429. Hit GitHub's API in a loop? 429. Spam a login page? 429. That's a rate limiter doing its job. But here's the thing - I never really understood what was happening *under the hood* until I started digging into it. So what exactly is a rate limiter? Simply put: it's a system that controls how many requests a client can make in a given time window. Why does it exist? - Protects your server from being overwhelmed - Prevents abuse (scrapers, bots, brute force) - Ensures fair usage across all users - Saves you money (compute isn't free) - Keeps your service alive when traffic spikes Without it, one bad actor (or one buggy client) can bring your entire system down. You've probably seen the response headers: X-RateLimit-Limit: 100 X-RateLimit-Remaining: 43 X-RateLimit-Reset: 1716300000 That's the rate limiter talking to you - telling you how many requests you have left and when the window resets. Where do rate limiters actually live? - At the API Gateway level (before requests even hit your server) - In middleware (Express, Fastify, etc.) - At the CDN edge (Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront) - Inside the application itself This is just the beginning. In the next posts, I'm going to break down all the major algorithms used to actually implement rate limiting with real code, not just theory. Follow along if you want the full series.

  @CloudflareDev Use at your own risk! No upper limit on how much money you can spend and Cloudflare customer service is quite poor. Avoid any cloud where there is no upper limit on expense, esp Cloudflare!

  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

  I bought a domain on Cloudflare and had Codex enable cloudflare/agentic-inbox for me. Sending and receiving emails is a bit slow. I'm unable to add the account to any email apps. Considering it runs completely free on Workers and can be operated with MCP, these drawbacks can be nothing. It composes a response email draft every time it receives a new email, so I think it's a good fit for feedback emails.

  5/ Governments and major tech companies are already moving. Most blockchains are catching up. The US requires quantum-resistant cryptography on all new national security systems from January 2027 - retiring the same methods Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana rely on today. Cloudflare, Apple, Signal, Microsoft, and AWS are already deploying upgrades. 24 of the top 26 blockchain protocols still rely entirely on methods being phased out elsewhere.

  @Umesh__digital I often find namecheaps email service quite clunky, godaddy uses m365 so a bit better. Not sure about cloudflare but heard good things

  @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

  Your Private Proxy (@YourPrivateProx) reported 25 minutes ago

  Cloudflare Turnstile has five render modes: vanilla widget, Stimulus attribute, shadow DOM, inline script, programmatic. A solver built for one fails silently on the others. Same service, works on site A, 0% on site B.

  The Dead Internet Theory was a conspiracy. The idea that the internet is no longer human. That bots and AI have quietly replaced real people. It started on anonymous message boards in 2019. Most people dismissed it. Stanford, Imperial College London, and the Internet Archive just measured it. They used the Wayback Machine to scan every new website published between 2022 and 2025. Thirty-three months of the internet, captured and classified. They applied one of the most advanced AI text detectors in the world to every page. 35.3% of all newly published websites were AI-generated or AI-assisted. 17.6% were completely AI-generated. No human involvement at all. In late 2022, before ChatGPT launched, that number was zero. In three years, more than a third of the new internet became synthetic. Not over decades. Not over a generation. Three years. Then they measured what that is doing to the internet itself. Semantic diversity is falling. The range of ideas, perspectives, and ways of saying things is narrowing. As AI content increases, the internet sounds more and more like one voice. Because it is one voice. The same models producing the same patterns across millions of pages. Positive sentiment is rising. Everything sounds upbeat. Polished. Confident. Helpful. The internet is getting friendlier while getting emptier. The tone improves as the substance disappears. The lead researcher, Jonáš Doležal at Imperial College London, said this to 404 Media: "I find the sheer speed of the AI takeover of the web quite staggering. After decades of humans shaping it, a significant portion of the internet has become defined by AI in just three years." Separately, Cloudflare reported that nearly a third of all internet traffic now comes from bots. Imperva reported that automated traffic surpassed human traffic for the first time in 2024. If you read my previous threads on Model Collapse and Retrieval Collapse, this is the final chapter. Model Collapse showed that AI trained on AI gets dumber. Retrieval Collapse showed that search engines indexing AI content get emptier. This paper shows the source of both problems. The internet itself is being replaced. The researchers are now working with the Internet Archive to build a live monitoring tool. A real-time tracker of how much of the internet is human and how much is not. The fact that we need a tool to measure how much of the internet is still real is the finding.

  @Cloudflare Your domain checkout page needs some real transparency. Just bought a new domain. It showed $26.00 throughout the entire process. Got charged $30.68. The extra $4.68 in taxes was never mentioned once during checkout. Only found out via the invoice email. Please show the final all-in price (taxes included) upfront. It's a small change that greatly improves customer trust. Fix this.

  🔴 Brazil ISPs block GitHub, Fitbit repacks without public explanation Major Brazilian internet service providers Claro, Vivo, and Nio have unilaterally blocked access to GitHub, Fitgirl Repacks, and dozens of other sites under secret orders from Brazilian authorities, according to Cloudflare support. The blocks affected not only developer platforms but also official government infrastructure, including the Central Bank of Brazil. No public explanation has been provided for the restrictions.

  @joshmanders Primcloud sucks we should delete all of it and rewrite it in cloudflare
