I laugh at your small startup running k8s, scaling for users you don't have. I also edit with vim in prod.

Outages, slow pages, hacked sites, old Magento, WooCommerce, cloud bills: we find the real cause and fix it for good.

This store took 21 seconds to load, and every sale day crashed it.

The cause wasn't traffic or the host. It was database settings and slow queries.

After the fix: 0.8s, 10x Black Friday traffic with no crash, and conversion up 34%.

@claudeai Going to add a $500/month plan then?

When did you last restore one of your backups?

A backup you never tested is only a guess. We set up regular automatic backups, off-site copies, and restores tested on a schedule.

Hacked site? Deleting the bad files is not a fix. If the way in stays open, they come back.

Contain it. Clean it. Find how they got in. Close the gap.

That's how we fix hacked sites for good, not until next week.

@JohnSands17 @StuartMaggs It's also a way for them to raise revenue in fines for being late with all the extra administrative burden rather than just from increasing tax rates.

did you know your samsung tv has a service called rmdemon (that's not a typo, demon not daemon) that starts a PACKET LOGGER on your network.

what possible legitimate use case could there be here, samsung?

Cloudflare previous CTO sent this into our bug bounty. We are investigating.

You are right, I should have never posted this in a public forum — and that mistake is genuinely mine.

Interesting.

Grok 4.6 releases around August 7. This will be the 1.5T model with significantly improved SFT & RL.

Grok 4.7 will be the 2.1T model released a few weeks later. This will be better than 4.6 in every way, except slightly slower to serve, albeit with even better token efficiency.

@JeromySonne Funnily enough around this time we had some customers get all their traffic via just one or two cloudflare edge ips when it used to average ~300. Assume they changed something.

Adding Kubernetes to a three-person startup is an engineering crime

My automated ticket-approval scripts were running so efficiently that management started questioning why they were paying me $200k a year.

I realized that if the network runs flawlessly, executives start to view IT as a redundant expense rather than a vital shield.

I wrote a new background script that intentionally drops the CEO's home Wi-Fi connection for exactly 14 seconds every hour.

Whenever he complains about his smart-thermostat disconnecting, I barge into his office looking completely exhausted and covered in thermal paste.

I tell him I was up all night manually wrestling an aggressive 0-day trojan that was specifically targeting his personal IP address.

I vividly describe how the hackers tried to route a ransomware payload through his smart-fridge to liquidate his 401k.

I explain that I had to temporarily shut down the local power grid's routing table just to quarantine the malicious packets.

He is now convinced that an international syndicate of cyber-terrorists is obsessed with destroying his life.

He treats me like a personal bodyguard, routinely buying me $80 prime rib lunches to thank me for keeping his family safe from the dark web.

The secret to job security is fabricating an invisible, terrifying enemy that only you possess the power to defeat.
