  Florian M (@SW4FlorianM) reported 5 minutes ago

  Three findings from the audit of an industrial manufacturer. Fixing all three: about three days of configuration. No code. The site is Webflow behind Cloudflare, and the stack was never the problem.

  @h_meow_meow @TeeDevh Actually these cause 2 separate issues. Crawler Hints with Cloudflare caching made thousands of unnecessary URLs to be submitted via IndexNow. Bot Fight mode was blocking legitimate Bingbot and OpenAI IPs (not detecting them as Verified).

  Been doing software for years, but it was just last quarter that I opened a Cloudflare account because of this issue. I insisted on using Cloudflare's free email routing cause it’s only accessible with VPN

  @ohiobug981 ******* ********. Same **** happened with the co-location, same thing with market maker rebates, now they are allowing them to bypass cloudflare giving a latency advantage, now this...

  The MIT professor who crashed 10 percent of the internet at 22 posts the free course that runs every AWS outage, every Uber ping, and every Slack notification on earth. MIT charges $85,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted every lecture to MIT OpenCourseWare for nothing. Millions have opened lecture one. Almost no engineer has finished all twenty. His name is Robert Morris. He is a professor at MIT CSAIL and one of the four cofounders of Y Combinator, the seed fund behind Airbnb, Dropbox, Stripe, Reddit, and Coinbase. In November 1988 he was a 22-year-old Cornell graduate student. He released a small program that was supposed to count the computers on the internet. It replicated so fast it crashed roughly ten percent of every machine online, and made him the first person ever convicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. He got three years probation, 400 hours of community service, and a $10,050 fine. Ten years later he cofounded the online store Viaweb with Paul Graham and sold it to Yahoo for $49 million. Seven years after that he cofounded Y Combinator with the same partner. Its portfolio is now worth over $600 billion. The clip in this video is one lecture from MIT 6.824 Distributed Systems, filmed at MIT and posted for free. The words on the board behind him are fault tolerance, availability, recoverability. Those three words decide whether Instagram loads when you open it, whether your Uber arrives, and whether your paycheck hits your account on the first of the month. Morris covers the entire logic of distributed systems in twenty lectures. Everything fails, all the time. A single computer fails once every few years. Ten thousand computers fail hundreds of times a day. The only design that survives is one that assumes failure is normal. Every retail user cursing a spinning wheel is looking at the wrong problem. The miracle is that most of the time it does not spin. Availability beats consistency. You cannot always have both. When the network splits, a system either serves stale data or refuses to serve at all. Amazon picks stale. Your bank picks nothing. Every user who screams at the Slack status page wants Amazon's answer. Every user who screams at a double charge wants the bank's. Replicate everything, trust nothing. Data in one place disappears when that place burns. Data in three places survives two fires. Every photo you have ever taken on an iPhone lives on three continents already. iCloud, Google Photos, and Dropbox are built off the exact lecture on the board. Concurrency is where bugs live. One user at a time is easy. A million users at the same second is not. Race conditions, double spends, lost messages, ghost bookings. Every airline that oversold your flight, every trading app that ate your order, every Ticketmaster that showed you a seat already gone, is a concurrency bug Morris warned about. Partial failure is worse than full failure. A dead server is easy. A slow server that answers half the time is a nightmare. It fools every retry, wastes every resource, and confuses every operator. Every "is it down or is it just me" Twitter search you have ever run is Morris's third slide. Every senior engineer at AWS, Google, and Meta has watched this course. Every startup that raised a Series A in cloud infrastructure hired an alumnus of 6.824. Every AI company training a trillion-parameter model on a cluster is running the same lecture in production. "A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable." That is Leslie Lamport, the Turing Award winner Morris quotes at the opening of 6.824. It is the exact sentence that explains why your Slack goes down when a data center in Virginia loses power. The full course is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The lecture notes are on Morris's website. Every equation on the board fits on one screen of code. Almost every senior engineer at AWS, Google, Cloudflare, and Meta has watched 6.824. Almost no founder promising 99.99 percent uptime on their pitch deck has opened lecture one. That is the entire moat. The course is free. The willingness to sit through twenty lectures on partial failure before uploading your money to a payment app, storing your photos in the cloud, or handing your health records to a portal is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to click without them.

  @infomiho Exactly. Though worth noting that Hetzner has its own DDoS protection in place as well, just not as sophisticated as Cloudflare. But yes, if you expect recurring, frequent heavy DDoS attacks on your servers, go with Cloudflare, I agree. Most products won't really have this issue though.

  @JaIdabaoth Nevermind sorry just checked enka and it’s up. I might need to check cloudflare to see there’s an issue

  The spirit of Spirit just sold for $10 million Google is buying Spirit Airlines' data out of bankruptcy. Emails, internal communications, spreadsheets, bookings, frequent flyer and HR records, all de-identified, for $10 million. Judge Sean Lane rules on the sale Wednesday. The obvious read is that Google wants more data. But de-identified data doesn't work for advertising, since you can't target someone you can't name, and Google already sees more airfare information through Google Flights than Spirit ever generated internally. An airline that went under in May is also a strange place to look for pricing wisdom. What's worth buying is the internal material. The emails and the spreadsheets they reference record how work moved through the company: a question gets asked, a document gets built, a decision gets made, a system gets updated. Consumer text is everywhere, and records of how an organization actually functions are not, which is what you need if you want models that operate inside workflows rather than talk about them. Google's own statement uses the word enterprise, and the runner-up bid of $7.5 million came from Mercor, a company whose entire business is sourcing training data for AI labs. When the second bidder isn't another airline, the market has told you what was being priced. The strange part is that Google isn't short on this data at all. It runs Gmail and Workspace and sits on possibly the largest collection of business correspondence in the world, and it has promised enterprise customers it will not train on their content, which is not a promise it can quietly break. So it has the material and no permission to use it. What $10 million buys is clean title, a court approved dataset nobody can sue over, at a moment when everyone else is defending scraping claims. Dead companies can agree to things live ones can't. Any of this is worth paying for because the public supply is running down. Epoch AI's 2024 analysis put the stock of quality public human text at roughly 300 trillion tokens and projected it would be consumed between 2026 and 2032, a window that opens this year, and access has closed faster since than the arithmetic alone suggests. A census of the top 100,000 domains this July found 19.1% blocking at least one AI crawler, and in September Cloudflare begins blocking mixed use crawlers by default across its entire free tier. Private operational records are the obvious next reserve, and they are almost untouched. Epoch left them out of its estimate because private data is fragmented and legally too messy to use at scale, which is precisely the condition a bankruptcy court removes. That makes Wednesday's ruling more interesting than the sale. If it goes through, every bankruptcy from here has a new asset to offer, and the value will depend on how well documented the industry already is. A corner store has nothing worth buying, since you can watch how it works from the sidewalk. A hospital or a law firm is the opposite, because even with names removed the record shows how a case moves through the organization, who escalates what to whom, and which exceptions get made. That knowledge lives in internal systems and in people's heads and appears nowhere public. The catch is that the supply is biased toward failure, since no healthy company would sell its internal record, so every dataset that reaches the market comes from an operation that didn't work. That's useful for learning how a process runs, and much less useful for learning what good judgment looks like.

  Why doesnt @cloudflare have an iroh service. Seriously you jump on ipfs but not this one?
