Change your parents' router DNS to 1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2

Cloudflare blocks malware and phishing at the network level

Free antivirus that actually works. Nothing to install/update/disable

@goodreads will you guys connect to instagram? would be great to find more friends to connect with on GR

[Dillon Mulroy @dillon_mulroy]

the security model behind cloudflare os, gatekeepers, and isolates solves this

point your clanker at this repo and ask it to teach you about the security model

Today we are releasing Cloudflare OS, a chatbot with connectors, just like every other tech company is doing.

Except actually, it's different. This is a remake of Sandstorm[.]io, my startup from 10 years ago, except this time built on Cloudflare Workers (the platform I've spent the last 9 years building) and deeply leveraging AI. This is more or less the culmination of my secret 10-year master plan.

This is a full-on personal app vibe coding platform, in which the sandbox is so secure that you can pretty much go wild -- the AI cannot introduce a significant security bug. We believe a company's security team can feel comfortable giving non-technical users permission to vibe code and then sleep soundly at night.

How is that possible? It's the Sandstorm security model, revisited. A "Gadget" is the same thing as a Sandstorm "Grain": a fine-grained app instance. For example, if you have a document editor app, each document runs as a separate instance of the app, in a separate sandbox (one "Gadget").

This means two things, both of which I think are Big Deals:
1. The platform can manage all access control, by controlling who can access the Gadget at all. There is no way the Gadget can accidentally leak itself to an attacker -- even an attacker who has access to other Gadgets based on the same app.
2. Since everyone is running their own copy of the code, everyone can freely *modify* their copy of the code.

Think about #2 a bit more.

What if, when you wanted a new feature in the software you are using, you could just prompt your agent to add it?

This doesn't work in the cloud Software-as-a-Service model, because you are not running your own copy of the app.

Sandstorm tried to change that 10 years ago, but the world wasn't ready, because not enough people had the skills or patience to actually modify their software. AI has changed that. Now you just ask the agent -- the same agent that you are using to help you interact with the Gadget can also modify the code of the Gadget.

And it is so fun.

Agents need compute, storage, skills, and... WALLETS. Visit https://t.co/u3FNfLu56j (right now) and reserve your Cloudflare Wallet handle.

The #FIFAWorldCup is massive in the USA because it is the authentic version of soccer.

MLS is not massive in the USA because it is an inauthentic version of the global game (franchises & not clubs, no promotion/relegation etc).

@claudeai is it possible to toggle between my work and personal Claude accounts in Claude Desktop? My personal computer is my work computer.

@AndrewYang It's even worse in Spain/Europe. What is the root of the issue? I believe small, immediate benefits realized by policy makers over the last few decades have accumulated costs not considered or cared about. Selfish.

[Kevin Boland 🇺🇸🇪🇸 @kbol34]

It’s odd that the US was the only country of the top 5 most populous countries in the world to qualify for the World Cup. Why are big countries bad at soccer?
Those 5 countries together represent half of global population. Is soccer really the world's sport?

We're opening the waitlist for our Monetization Gateway, which will allow you to charge for any web page, dataset, API, or MCP tool behind Cloudflare. The charges will settle in stablecoins over the x402 open protocol. https://t.co/pvICtEIixj
