Google Chrome is rolling out device-bound session credentials to all users. Session cookies get cryptographically tied to your device, so stolen cookies can't be replayed from a different machine. Attackers who exfiltrate your cookie database get nothing usable.

Hit GitHub's rate limit one too many times, so I built octopool: a Cloudflare Worker that pools your team's PATs + GitHub App installations behind a shared read cache.

Self-host on Cloudflare. Drop-in gh shim. https://t.co/qO7V08K0eo

Here’s how we built Town Lake, Cloudflare's unified analytics platform, alongside Skipper, an internal AI agent running on top of it. https://t.co/dxY1rih6uK

Peering isn't going anywhere. It just has a lot more roommates now.

Real interconnection happens in person. Last night, we proved it with over 100 attendees at the DE-CIX Roundtable in Frankfurt!

We debuted a panel to debate "The Future of Peering" (massive shoutout to @Marc Korthaus, @Peter Hansen, and @Klaus Landefeld for the brilliant insights). The takeaway is clear: Peering remains the bedrock, but with Cloud Connectivity, MAPS, and Google VPP joining the party, the ecosystem is evolving fast (think about AI connectivity).

Keep adapting, keep serving the customers, and the future is looking brilliantly shiny.

[Thomas King @thking]

We just joined a new club, and the dress code is "APIs only."

We are incredibly proud that @DE-CIX is among the first Internet Exchange operators to officially join the MPLIFY Alliance.

Our mission? To make Network as a Service (NaaS) interoperability completely seamless across the globe. Less friction, less waiting, more automation.

Cloudflare Radar data confirms early indications of a partial Internet restoration in Iran, nearly three months after the shutdown began. Traffic spikes and DNS queries have risen, but network activity is currently just 40% of pre-shutdown levels. https://t.co/N9AODPsI62

[James Cornman @jizaymes]

@steipete @thking I use Authentik for SSO

[Anurag Bhatia @anurag_bhatia]

Surprised with this. Wasn't HTTPS endpoint the setup already for pulling upgrades?

[Doug Madory (also on Bluesky) @DougMadory]

🚨Update on the partial restoration of internet in Iran.

It has been 24hrs+ since service started coming back in Iran. In that time, traffic levels peaked at 41% of what we saw prior to Jan 8th, which is also below the Jan 27-Feb 28 partial restoration.

[Cloudflare Radar @CloudflareRadar]

Cloudflare Radar observed a notable increase in activity (DNS queries and traffic trends) from Iranian networks beginning at 11:00 UTC. Our traffic volume data shows that these increases are concentrated primarily in Tehran, with smaller spikes in other regions.

[Progress Bar 2026 @ProgressBar202_]

2026 is 40% complete.

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

What do people use for SSO/SCIM/Endpoint Security in 2026. As we're hiring people for the OpenClaw Foundation, I gotta level up.
