  ok seriously, what's going on with the cloudflare page popping up on X lately and my account continually getting locked? wtf is going on with either this website or Cloudflare? I'm not DOING anything other than enjoying artwork for the most part on this site!

  @AjaySohmshetty @Cloudflare @andrewk17 Is that real or similar/related to the AWS issue?

  Today's Engineering Concept: '𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴' 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? Rate limiting is the practice of restricting how many requests a user or system can make within a specific period. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? Without rate limiting, a single user or malicious bot could overwhelm your server, degrade performance, or abuse your APIs. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 Imagine a login endpoint with no rate limit. An attacker could attempt thousands of password combinations every minute. A simple rate limit can significantly reduce the effectiveness of brute-force attacks. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱? Most systems track requests by IP address, user account, or API key. Once a predefined limit is reached, the server temporarily rejects additional requests, often with an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) response. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱? • 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗛𝘂𝗯: GitHub's REST API limits how many requests you can make per hour to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage for everyone. • 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗲: Every payment request can include an Idempotency-Key, ensuring a customer isn't charged twice if the same payment request is retried. • 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜: The API enforces rate limits on requests and tokens per minute, helping maintain reliability and preventing a single application from overwhelming the service. • 𝗫 (𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿): X limits actions such as following many accounts, liking posts, posting, or sending DMs within a short period to reduce spam and bot activity. • 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲: Cloudflare lets website owners configure rules like "block or challenge any IP that makes more than 100 requests in a minute" to protect against abuse and DDoS attacks. ...and almost every public API uses rate limiting to protect its infrastructure, ensure fair usage, and maintain service availability. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 A reliable system doesn't just answer requests. It also knows when to say "not now. It's too many from YOU."

  Stay clear of @Cloudflare. Even their AI support bot cannot delete my credit card info from their database. It then provides a non-existent path to billing support that loops back to the start page. This is a purported tech company. JFC.

  There are so many apps I can't login to because @Cloudflare turnstile just never works.

  We've turned one of our internal systems (Powered by @Cloudflare Workers) into our own Zapier for all data integrations w/ our @WordPress Sites & Plugins & other internal systems. Zapier turned into multi thousand dollar a year service that used to be $120/year for the same thing

  recently, more and more of what I'm building with Cursor has exactly one user: me. not everything needs to become a b2b saas. a few weeks ago I was on my way to Flügger and Silvan to buy materials for our house renovation. I gave Cursor the remaining tasks and some photos. It turned those into a shopping list with the Danish product names, where to buy each item, and what belonged to painting vs preparation. then, because a markdown checklist wasn't very useful while walking around the store, we built a tiny Cloudflare Worker with a Durable Object. now I can open the list on my phone and check things off in the aisle. kinda ridiculous. also genuinely useful. I've been doing the same with my company accounting, which is less fun and much more confusing because everything in Dinero is in Danish. Cursor inspects what is pending, translates the account names, and walks through the bookkeeping with me one transaction at a time. We worked out how to handle Deel invoices and the Salary .dk reconciliations that didn't post correctly. Then we turned what worked into skills, so next month we don't have to figure it all out again. There is no product roadmap for any of this. No customers. No pitch deck. It's just personal software that gets a little better every time I run into the same annoyance. I like this category a lot. One recurring problem is enough reason to build something now

  💡 Pro tip: Don't send webhooks externally to untrusted parties from your main backend - you'll expose your server IP and get DDoS-ed. A common scenario is having your host hidden behind a reverse proxy like Cloudflare. By sending a webhook, you'll expose your IP address and it's game over. A proper architectural design is to have a separate service on a separate host responsible for delivering your webhooks.

  PRO TIP: Use cloudflare email routing and sending to make a custom email client for your Saas. No need to pay for support tools like Front.

  @TodePond gen Z is trying to cancel cloudflare? sorry, gen Z is trying to *cancel* cloudflare?

  @antonosika On Cloudflare, mainly for Zero Trust. And honestly, the switch to token based billing for the Cloud features has been pretty terrible. Another reason for hosting it externally is to have more control and transparency over the stack.

  @TheOtherMassie I just got a verification. Try a couple different servers and regions. The IP you're using was probably flagged by cloudflare or other DNS service.

  @CherryJimbo @Cloudflare @CloudflareDev Pretty terrible looking. Super bland, way too much whitespace (or black space)
