@DataChaz This has been out for 5 years …

[John Murch @johnmurch]

Google is really great at naming products

[John Murch @johnmurch]

The bots are out there, be careful.

Kind of funny they rotate their user agent and url, but the ip isn't change. Either their proxy logic is broken or they just dont care.

@ianhowells Need a bit of work: as-is is a red flag, but if you are down for work and not unplug…

[John Murch @johnmurch]

Not surprised but interesting https://t.co/gey03czjVm

[John Murch @johnmurch]

Wonder how their PPC is converting for that term...

@fforres @Cloudflare @cursor_ai beat them to the punch AND when GitHub was down, savage. Guessing cloudflare might hold back for now

[John Murch @johnmurch]

👏 👏 👏

[Cyris @sudo_overflow]

I built an macos menu bar app to watch my @Cloudflare bill and then realised how silly I was being.

@humanonlyweb @dok2001 Yes native but it’s super close

[John Murch @johnmurch]

@humanonlyweb @dok2001 Just use hyperdrive - I gave up on d1 after 10gb limit and some massive read/writes. Postgres and workers are the way

[John Murch @johnmurch]

Released GitHub competitor when GitHub is down 👏 👏 👏

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

Origin, our code hosting platform, is now live.

It's fast, easy to use, and deeply integrated with Cursor.

Get started by syncing your repos from GitHub.

[John Murch @johnmurch]

@eastdakota Now would be a good time to launch a github replacement

Artifacts is good, but not a drop in YET

[John Murch @johnmurch]

@elithrar @CloudflareDev Can you guys just launch your own GitHub competitor as artifacts is so close

[John Murch @johnmurch]

👀 can we fix dns too

NEWS: Cloudflare and Starlink may team up to fix a hidden problem that holds satellite internet back.

The idea came from Cloudflare's chief technology officer Dane Knecht (@dok2001) and Elon Musk seemed to like it.

Elon said he sent it straight to the Starlink team.

Here is the problem they are talking about.

The internet runs on a set of traffic rules that decide how data moves from place to place. Those rules were built for cables in the ground, which stay put and give a steady, predictable connection.

Starlink is different. Its satellites sit in low orbit and race across the sky, so the connection is always shifting. The old traffic rules were never made for that, which keeps Starlink from hitting its full speed.

Knecht's idea is to rebuild those rules from scratch, made for fast-moving satellites. He says Cloudflare and Starlink should do it together, since Cloudflare already handles a huge slice of the world's internet traffic.

If it works, Starlink gets faster, smoother and more reliable. Better video calls, better streaming, better gaming, even in places with no cables at all. And it clears the way for the massive data that AI will need.

👀 what!!!

[Cloudflare Developers @CloudflareDev]

Introducing Kitesurf: a browser built for agents, running entirely on Cloudflare Workers.

Chromium is too heavy to hand every agent one. Kitesurf is written in Rust, uses 3-7x less CPU and memory, and spins up per request.

Free in beta: https://t.co/Vm8kVCgSkG

[Cloudflare @Cloudflare]

Agents need more than just a container to scale. We're introducing @cloudflare/computer, an agent runtime that dynamically orchestrates between fast, efficient isolates and full Linux containers to give every agent a computer of its own. https://t.co/I708jAY59z

So interesting to see chatgpt NOT unfurl the short Amazon link - and then when given the full link - it shows a newegg link.

Did this as temp chat btw.
