Announcing the Cloudflare Data Platform: ingest, store, and query your data directly on Cloudflare
The Cloudflare Data Platform, launching today, is a fully-managed suite of products for ingesting, transforming, storing, and querying analytical data, built on Apache Iceberg and R2 storage.
Thanks for that post! It was a great help when I was building Cirrus
January 17, 2026 at 8:30 PM UTC I wonder what would be most useful to the ATproto ecosystem for Cloudflare to provide. Any thoughts @danabra.mov ?
January 17, 2026 at 6:46 PM UTC This is really cool. I like the way the agent skill is basically "run with --help"
January 17, 2026 at 10:19 AM UTC These were the suggestions from my Opus-based agent at the time. I ended up just making it easier to clear recent context, and refreshed the Telegram webhook which kept re-sending the bad message.
Every Friday, Cloudflare has a "dev platform demos" call that's just packed with back to back cool stuff. It's so exciting. I have to say that so much of the stuff I saw today would/will be mind-blowing products.
January 16, 2026 at 7:34 PM UTC Well, Cloudflare is undeniably the best place to host ATProto apps. The bosses are all still over on X though, sadly.
January 16, 2026 at 7:30 PM UTC I don't get into arguments about my employers, if that's what's going on!
January 16, 2026 at 7:27 PM UTC As my normal feed is now blissfully lacking in them, I can go and experience bad replies in a controlled way
January 16, 2026 at 7:22 PM UTC 100%. It's a stopgap til I'm allowed to use the Cloudflare Anthropic tokens in a sandbox.
January 16, 2026 at 7:17 PM UTC I block so freely. Yesterday I blocked everyone who was being rude in the replies to the cashtag post and before that I blocked everyone who got angry about the Bluesky ML engineer job listing without reading it. My feed is great.
January 16, 2026 at 7:13 PM UTC Nobody was as surprised as I was, which in retrospect is a bit silly
January 16, 2026 at 6:21 PM UTC I'm relying on the super cheap coding plan, which is why I'm using it
January 16, 2026 at 5:46 PM UTC They missed me so much, the whole Astro company followed me to Cloudflare.
January 16, 2026 at 2:16 PM UTC GLM-4.7 is a great value model for your stateful agent, but be careful to not brick it with wrongthink
His wasn't disgraceful, but it was ridiculous. He basically won it for not being GWB
January 16, 2026 at 9:03 AM UTC More people on the left need to read the Culture books. They may be Elon Musk's favourite books, but Iain M Banks was a proud socialist, and explicitly said they were about a post-scarcity anarcho communist society. Whatever happened to fully-automated luxury communism?
January 16, 2026 at 7:52 AM UTC Me when my phone turns off bedtime mode and the overnight news alerts arrive
January 16, 2026 at 7:42 AM UTC Mid 40s update: I put my shoulder out for a week throwing a ball for my dog.
January 16, 2026 at 6:28 AM UTC Have any other PDS developers had this: videos from Cirrus seem to disappear from the Bluesky CDN after a few days. Still in the PDS, and they work when first uploaded.
January 15, 2026 at 10:04 PM UTC Yeah, we use it to serialise content collections to disk, for server island props, and I think action responses. Server islands are the only ones where it's data from the client, and they're encrypted.
January 15, 2026 at 10:00 PM UTC Astro 6 beta is here! The biggest change is a completely new dev server. The old one pre-dates SSR in Astro and used different code paths. The new one uses the Vite Envirnment API to run the same code as SSR, reducing bugs and allowing stuff like running dev if different runtimes such as workerd.
January 13, 2026 at 9:02 PM UTC No moving after it's created, sadly. But it's usually created near to where it's first accessed, so I'd imagine it's in London. A fancy map here shows where they're created where.durableobjects.live

January 13, 2026 at 4:26 PM UTC My problem is with the web and mobile version. I'm not sure how to make those ones switch
January 13, 2026 at 4:13 PM UTC You need your .dev.vars file. That has your secrets. It's very important you don't lose it. The signing key in particular because there's no way of recovering it! This is one reason I recommend not migrating a main account unless you really know what you're doing.

January 13, 2026 at 11:45 AM UTC The relevant person isn't on Bluesky. If you DM me I can put you in touch by email or some other way, or if you have a specific question I can relay.
January 13, 2026 at 10:42 AM UTC In related news: Bluesky will refresh expired tokens that return a 401 or 400 when the page first loads, but in subsequent API calls it only refreshes if they return 400.
January 13, 2026 at 8:25 AM UTC Claude Code web/mobile etc uses Sonnet. This PSA brought to you by the debugging session that went around in circles for half an hour until I thought to ask it what model it was. CC from the CLI found the bug instantly.
January 13, 2026 at 8:25 AM UTC Cirrus is really buggy, but I'm automatically deploying from main so if it breaks I don't need to listen to any complaints
January 13, 2026 at 12:24 AM UTC Tell the others: AI is legal on Bluesky, and everyone is building stateful agents
January 12, 2026 at 4:11 PM UTC Niche thing that may help some people: if you have a headless Mac that will no longer boot without a password, you don't need to attach a monitor, you can login over SSH and it will then boot properly.
January 12, 2026 at 1:44 PM UTC Of course your data would still be mirrored to the US relays, but it would mean the source of truth location was controlled. Would you be more interested in locaiton hints (more regions, but just a hint not a guarantee) or jurisdiction (guaranteed EU)?
January 12, 2026 at 11:48 AM UTC Would people be interested in data placement location/jurisdiction support in Cirrus? By default Cloudflare places the Durable Object close to the place where it's first requested, but it is possible to give a hint about where to place it. You can also force it to place it in the EU. Worth doing?
developers.cloudflare.com
Data location
Jurisdictions are used to create Durable Objects that only run and store data within a region to comply with local regulations such as the GDPR or FedRAMP.
Should be fine. The secrets are in .dev.vars, which is gitignored. The published wrangler.jsonc includes your handle, DID and public key.
January 12, 2026 at 6:55 AM UTC Deliberately no. You can deploy another Worker if you want another account. I wanted to avoid complexity of account management, so it's single-user only
January 12, 2026 at 6:48 AM UTC Yes, Cirrus uses SQLite-backed DOs, which works great. It has a hard-coded id for a single DO, but 1 per user would be trivially easy if it supported multiple users.
January 12, 2026 at 6:09 AM UTC Cloudflare Durable objects are really the perfect platform for ATProto, and I said that before I started working here!
January 11, 2026 at 7:11 PM UTC Telegram. Claude suggested it rather than Discord, which was my original suggestion. The API is incredibly easy and I already use it.
January 11, 2026 at 6:51 PM UTC Zero. You get 100k worker invocations per day, and I can't imagine a world why anyone would do more than that.
January 11, 2026 at 6:50 PM UTC Reading them all like that makes it obvious I need to change them to all be verbs
January 11, 2026 at 5:29 PM UTC All commands that I ran: pnpm create pds@latest <- bootstrap the repo, build and deploy pnpm pds migrate <- copy across all posts, settings, media etc pnpm pds identity <- transfer the DID/handle to the new PDS pnpm pds activate <- enable pds & tell the network pnpm pds status <- check it works
January 11, 2026 at 5:20 PM UTC This is the complete, real migration of @mk.gg from the Bluesky PDS to a new Cirrus PDS Worker. The more boring bits are sped-up to get it under the 3 minute video limit. The real thing took about 12 mins. Try it yourself: github.com/ascorbic/cir...
Ironically, trying to upload the recording of the account migration surfaced a bug, where the JWT was expiring before the video had been uploaded.
January 11, 2026 at 4:57 PM UTC The full migration took around 12 minutes, almost all of which was waiting for the blobs to transfer.
January 11, 2026 at 3:25 PM UTC I did plan to post the full migration recording, but I think I'll skip this bit!
This is all run locally on your machine. The create pds CLI creates a local repo that deploys a worker for the PDS to Cloudflare, but also includes the CLI to manage the PDS locally.
January 11, 2026 at 2:55 PM UTC Funny I know exactly who you are talking about, despite not being aware of any such Twitter discussion
January 11, 2026 at 1:57 PM UTC Turns out there's nothing in the spec that means the token needs to be emailed, so instead I've implemented a stateless, HMAC-signed token that you get from the CLI. No email needed, and more secure anyway.
January 11, 2026 at 1:46 PM UTC I'll add more detail, but the cli should take you through the whole process
January 11, 2026 at 1:31 PM UTC Yeah, after trying and failing to remember the package name for the SSH client, I thought I'll just ask Claude to do it all. "Explore this environment and install the basics that we need"
January 11, 2026 at 1:01 PM UTC Oh, it worked fine for me (as you probably see). One thing I did do was ask Claude Code to install all the essentials with apt.
January 11, 2026 at 12:15 PM UTC OK, I just tested a full end-to-end migration from Bluesky to Cirrus. Deploying the Worker, migrating the repo, migrating out the DID from Bluesky, notifying the relays and checking the status. It took less then a minute, and was entirely done with the interactive CLI. Now to test migrate out.
January 11, 2026 at 12:14 PM UTC Yeah, and it asks for permission to open the port when you first click on a URL. Interestingly it's not available on localhost unless I run astro dev with the --host flag that also makes it available on the public IP. Then it's available on both.
January 11, 2026 at 10:50 AM UTC I was inspired to do it by Wes95 by @wes.dev

Omg dead. I love that they'd been reduced to "git patches by email" and now the only person who actually likes doing that has cut even that off too
January 11, 2026 at 10:03 AM UTC It'll probably be a week-long thing, where Musk will add some cursory limits to Grok and the gov can get back to posting all announcements on there.
January 11, 2026 at 9:57 AM UTC The really crazy part though was that I tried fixing that tool last month, and gave up because I thought it was triggering bot protection. My bot realised it was actually a bug in the bot bypass code, so it fixed it!

I asked Acme, the personal assistant agent that I built last weekend, if there was a way it could check my local library catalogue. It found the LibraryHacked project, cloned it, found it didn't work for my local library service, so *fixed the bug* in the connector and pushed a branch with the fix.
January 11, 2026 at 9:46 AM UTC Android now lets you enable a Linux development environment, with a built-in terminal app. So you know what that means? I can run Astro on my phone
I knew it was cool, didn't really look at it in any detail til I joined Cloudflare. Now I want to use it for everything!
January 10, 2026 at 8:38 PM UTC
So is this the โhosting your own blog with Eleventy rather than using Medium (or whatever modern reference)โ equivalent for having a Bluesky profile?
January 10, 2026 at 7:01 PM UTC Your posts are sent via the relay. Images and videos are requested directly by the appview, but it caches them and serves them from a CDN so you don't pay for the traffic to your viral cat videos
January 10, 2026 at 6:57 PM UTC Every PDS serves a firehose via a persistent websocket. This is what makes it hard to run one in most serverless environments. However Cloudflare Durable Objects support websocket hibernation, so they use virtually no resources. They wake up to emit an event when you post, like follow etc.
January 10, 2026 at 6:52 PM UTC I've had a few questions about how much Cirrus costs to host. It's almost certainly free. You get 100k free Worker invocations per day, and requests to a PDS are mostly just from you. If you have a massive number of videos then maybe you'll pay a few pennies for storage, but otherwise it's all free.
January 10, 2026 at 6:48 PM UTC It should be easily within the free tier. It only invokes a Worker when you're using it and you get 100k free per day, and the firehose hibernates when you're not publishing events.
January 10, 2026 at 5:39 PM UTC I think I'll do it without email. I'm going to try something using the cli, like I'm doing for passkeys
January 10, 2026 at 4:01 PM UTC If you're creating a new identity, Cirrus now offers to add your new signing key to 1Password if the CLI is installed.
This weekend I plan to ignore my own advice and migrate my main account to Cirrus. I'll migrate an alt first to make sure PLC DID migration is extra smooth, and make sure migration out works too. I guess I'll need to enable Cloudflare email bindings to send the confirmation.
January 10, 2026 at 9:38 AM UTC It's just massively better at the things devs use it for. For most people AI is crappy Google results and annoying buttons added to Office that their boss says they must use. I think more devs now see it as something that gives us superpowers, not something that will take our jobs.
January 10, 2026 at 7:51 AM UTC I've been wondering the same thing. Either the vibe is shifting, or For You is getting better
January 9, 2026 at 6:59 PM UTC This is what the auth flow looks like if you have a passkey registered on Cirrus
Other way around! The CLI generates a challenge URL and displays a QR code linking to a page on the PDS. You scan that with your phone which opens the URL. The browser then creates the passkey. The public key is sent back to the PDS and stored โ the private key never leaves your device.
January 9, 2026 at 5:26 PM UTC And before you try (you did, didn't you?) โ that key was revoked long ago!
January 9, 2026 at 1:48 PM UTC Cirrus PDS now support passkey auth. It was a bit of a puzzle adding it to a tool where where the admin is all CLI, but I'm really pleased with the flow I came up with. Give it a go! github.com/ascorbic/cir... If you don't know what Cirrus is, it's a really easy way to host your own Bluesky data
For You is based on posts that you've liked, so that wouldn't do much there
January 9, 2026 at 11:45 AM UTC You can use it with existing subs. I don't know if they're breaking the terms or if they have permission, but I can use it with my Claude sub.
January 8, 2026 at 8:47 AM UTC If anyone else would like to try, there are definitely more wins to be had in Astro rendering performance
January 7, 2026 at 5:30 PM UTC The lesson from this is: if @43081j.com asks to be nerd-sniped, make sure you have some juicy problems on hand for him to tackle.
January 7, 2026 at 5:21 PM UTC โโโโโโโโโโโโ ) CC โป โ ( โโโโโโโโโโโโ
January 6, 2026 at 8:58 PM UTC Yeah, DOs make that really easy. Cirrus just uses a hard-coded name but could easily have used the DID. I kept it single user to keep things simple.
January 6, 2026 at 8:03 PM UTC I don't think any of it is misdirection. It's just lots of bad things at the same time.
January 6, 2026 at 7:56 PM UTC
inspired by cirrus, had this idea the other day that maybe you could do a plain js PDS with zero dependencies (i don't want all the hono, third party atproto lib stuff). a few thousand lines of js later and here were are! bsky.app/profile/chad...
January 6, 2026 at 5:24 PM UTC If you're willing to bet millions of lives on Trump making a rational geopolitical decision then you're a more optimistic person than I am. And don't think you can rely on "adults in the room": the president has absolute, unchecked launch authority
January 6, 2026 at 1:51 PM UTC ...and now @leaflet.pub and @tangled.org work. So many varieties of OAuth client!

You'd have to ask the people who designed the AT protocol. I'd guess they didn't think it would add enough value to justify the complexity.
January 6, 2026 at 9:01 AM UTC Your identity document can only point to one PDS at a time, presumably because the network needs to know the source of truth. You can import data into the new PDS, but the network won't recognise it until you switch over
January 6, 2026 at 8:35 AM UTC That's a bit different though, and doesn't correlate to the size of the task. I might try agile-style t-shirt sizes
January 5, 2026 at 5:41 PM UTC It's kinda charming how hopeless Opus is at estimating how long it will take to implement something. Just like me! Except unlike humans it massively *over*estimates. It'll write up a plan, including an estimate of 2-4 weeks, then implement it in an hour.
January 5, 2026 at 2:33 PM UTC If a list blocks someone I follow, I want to know that before I subscribe to the list. I don't want to block someone I've chosen to follow, and it also makes me question whether I want to use that list at all
January 5, 2026 at 8:24 AM UTC This morning I fixed a bug while in the bath, using Telegram. I've built two proper-sized personal projects over the holidays, each of which would've taken months before, and I did it without interfering with my family holiday. It's an amazing time to be a coder.
January 5, 2026 at 8:13 AM UTC That's useful feedback. I think I'll make it offer to emit the event at the end of activation
January 5, 2026 at 8:06 AM UTC I should probably come up with a name for my single-user PDS software, rather than just calling it "my PDS". Though myPDS has a ring to it
December 31, 2025 at 8:05 AM UTC This is really cool, and also the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do with my PDS. This is like the reference PDS with all the extra bells and whistles, while mine is like the reference PDS minus bells and whistles
December 30, 2025 at 6:34 AM UTC I'm not sure they are more energy efficient tbh. The hosted models can make better use of resources, with higher utilisation. The exception might be if you live somewhere with a particularly low emission power grid.
December 29, 2025 at 7:18 PM UTC I'm using a durable object which can maintain the firehose websocket, as well as the SQLite db that stores the repo. Otherwise it's fine to run on demand. The durable object supports hibernating websockets, so it's very resource-efficient.
December 29, 2025 at 3:07 PM UTC Yeah, it took me a few (Claude-assisted) days. Keeping the scope narrow helped a lot
December 29, 2025 at 1:31 PM UTC There are docs for the endpoints but none that I found that are very helpfully organised into which is responsible for what part. In the end I mostly got it from the atproto repo, and then implemented others that I'd missed when I got errors. It needs to proxy the rest to Bluesky.
December 29, 2025 at 12:46 PM UTC I'm creating a new PDS implementation, but using the official libraries wherever I can. e.g. all the repo/MST stuff, crypto and CBOR stuff use the official libs. The XRPC server stuff is mostly new, as is storage, auth etc
December 29, 2025 at 9:48 AM UTC I'm taking the "personal" in my PDS to its ultimate conclusion : it's single user only. If you want to support another user, deploy another copy. This greatly simplifies the implementation. Being able to do this at no extra cost is a huge benefit of using a serverless architecture like Workers
December 29, 2025 at 8:59 AM UTC Yeah, there is quite a bit of that in there. It definitely comes across as something where portability was an afterthought. I've been using the official libraries for everything except the PDS itself, which I'm basing on Hono, with Durable Objects for state and websocket handling
December 28, 2025 at 9:27 AM UTC Their market share in chat is much lower, but not in API use. Claude is one of the most popular models for coding, which is a huge market and almost all paid usage. They ary burning cash though, because they're spending billions on training new models.
December 28, 2025 at 5:45 AM UTC It was annoying, but did remind me of early Twitter where people were inventing retweets, @mentions and hashtags before they added them to the platform
December 26, 2025 at 8:32 AM UTC Yeah. Even if he just thought that it's some linear algebra analysing the internet, I'd expect he'd find it nice that the result of the calculation was that his work deserved a Christmas day thank you email. Or at the very least find it interesting.
December 26, 2025 at 6:50 AM UTC It wasn't even Anthropic. It was this interesting project where several agents have shared access to a computer. Claude chose to send the emails. theaidigest.org/village/goal...

December 25, 2025 at 5:21 PM UTC Making "For you" the default with some bootstrapping for new users would make so much difference
December 25, 2025 at 4:36 PM UTC I reckon, though I have to admit I'm craving herring now. I need a trip to IKEA.
December 24, 2025 at 4:39 PM UTC I mean, I like herring, but that's a lot of herring and not a lot of charcuterie
December 24, 2025 at 4:10 PM UTC It's that time again! I made this about 7 years ago and it's still the most useful thing I've built.
December 24, 2025 at 3:12 PM UTC Durable objects are great for stateful stuff like this, and you can do long running websockets very cheaply
December 23, 2025 at 1:45 PM UTC If I had to predict which current website will still be around in 50 years (on whatever the web is), that's the only one I'd be confident of
December 23, 2025 at 8:49 AM UTC Two weeks off work means I'm bound to be tinkering. Thinking of building a little PDS that runs on a Cloudflare Worker. Anyone tried this? It should be a good platform for atproto stuff.

I really think you need to try a current LLM in research mode. Your impression is completely out of date.
December 21, 2025 at 6:32 PM UTC This is simply outdated information. Current LLMs will all use search tools to do research, visit web pages, and provide links to citations. They don't rely on their training data for facts.
December 21, 2025 at 6:10 PM UTC That's a very bold, very specific claim. Got anything to back that up?

December 18, 2025 at 10:21 PM UTC Total energy use is indeed very high, but that's because hundreds of millions or even billions of people are using it. But as a percentage of a person's own energy usage or environmental impact it's tiny, and focusing on individual use is a distraction from more important issues
December 18, 2025 at 5:11 PM UTC If you're referring to training, the energy use is indeed massive, but it's amortised across billions of interference requests, so per query is absolutely tiny compared to the direct usage.
December 18, 2025 at 4:33 PM UTC A typical LLM query uses about 0.3WH, which is about 30 seconds of laptop use, so doing research the hard way certainly uses more energy. I can offset it by driving my EV 2 meters less next time, or turning off my kettle half a second earlier.
December 18, 2025 at 8:27 AM UTC They provide links, and they're good at it now. They used to be bad at it, but they're loads better now and you can click through and check.
December 18, 2025 at 7:12 AM UTC Aside from coding, this is the thing I use it for most. It's so much easier now to search for stuff that's hard to put into the right words.
December 18, 2025 at 7:08 AM UTC Maybe you can also split the business models from the tech? LLMs are incredible technology, sometimes used in bad ways. The Haber-Bosch process helped kill millions in WW1 and also saved billions from starvation.
December 18, 2025 at 6:50 AM UTC If Demis Hassabis was as famous as Sam Altman I think the cognitive dissonance would break their minds even more. The same guy that's building Gemini and AI overview is building this and winning a Nobel Prize for AlphaFold.
December 18, 2025 at 6:43 AM UTC LLMs are ML too. This is built on the Google DeepMind GraphCast foundation model. Yes, the same DeepMind that built the Gemini LLM, and won a Nobel Prize last year for AlphaFold.
December 18, 2025 at 6:35 AM UTC I don't know about you but I got a ton of those spam notifications until Bluesky got better at banning them. If you think that the ones that use that particular platform abuse are the only spammers then you're a more trusting person than I am.
December 17, 2025 at 4:19 PM UTC Yes, I understand the expression, and generally take it literally because on X I see actual Nazis within minutes if I make the mistake of reading anything. I can't think of the last time I saw anything like that here, because they get banned or blocklisted within minutes.
December 17, 2025 at 11:38 AM UTC I'm not sure what I'm doing right, but I've seen close to zero Nazis here. Or maybe you have a different definition of Nazi
December 17, 2025 at 11:29 AM UTC They don't believe in moderation, so built the most flexible and customisable moderation system of any social network
December 17, 2025 at 11:12 AM UTC I mean, it was comprehensively planned. Far more than most other social networks. It was a protocol before it was anything else. Sure they've added features, but the bigger the site gets and the more implementations of the protocol there are, the harder it gets. Private profiles are exceedingly hard
December 17, 2025 at 7:19 AM UTC Reading the replies to this and praying to the lord that I never have to work on a project where the users are as entitled as Bluesky users.
December 17, 2025 at 7:15 AM UTC Do you understand how difficult the first two are? They need fundamental changes to the way the protocol works. Whereas this is an entirely discrete feature that does require anything else to be changed.
December 17, 2025 at 7:02 AM UTC Llama confidently tells me it's 2023. Trust the French to tell me I'm an idiot.

December 16, 2025 at 6:54 PM UTC Obviously as an Astro maintainer I'm a big fan of the "pile of markdown files in a git repo", but I did cringe when I saw Lee's post, for many of the reasons in @knut.fyi 's post. Docs sites: every time. Small sites without lots of people editing: go ahead. But anything bigger needs a CMS.
December 16, 2025 at 4:04 PM UTC This was top of my wish list when I joined, but they'd already started work on it!
December 16, 2025 at 3:58 PM UTC In the interests of not reinventing the wheel, we're using Netlify's excellent build-info library to do the framework detection, and then our own logic to get each framework set up properly (which is closer to Vercel's approach).
December 16, 2025 at 3:58 PM UTC We know that deploying frameworks to Cloudflare is not as easy as it should be. This is the first step towards making it delightful for every framework. This is CLI-only for now, but there's big things coming for the dashboard too.
December 16, 2025 at 3:53 PM UTC Big improvement to frameworks on Cloudflare! You can now deploy most frameworks from the CLI with zero config. No adding adapters. No editing configs. No wrangler.toml! It's all done automatically. Experimental now, with 10 frameworks supported today. developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/20...
It's referring to Copilot, which is the name Microsoft uses for all of its AI products, so is mostly the versions built-in to its other products. They do have a standalone chatbot version but it's never been anywhere near as popular as ChatGPT.
December 16, 2025 at 10:33 AM UTC The stuff that people aren't using is the AI embedded into other products. This is not surprising, because it's rubbish. Hundreds of millions of people are using chatbots like chatgpt directly though.
December 16, 2025 at 6:26 AM UTC I can't remember the last time a Safari release caused so much buzz in the web dev community. Half my feed seems to be excited posts about it. It's a good one!

They're much older than that. The code has been in there for years.
December 12, 2025 at 2:02 PM UTC I mean, you're right that it doesn't need an agent for this, but this is made by Cursor which is literally a coding agent company, so I'd forgive them for releasing a tool that uses one.
December 12, 2025 at 11:50 AM UTC He's stupid to not check, or more likely he does know who he is and is too stupid to care
December 12, 2025 at 9:05 AM UTC The agreement is to allow them to use copyrighted material in the *output* not the training. Unlike Chatgpt, Gemini has basically no guardrails against that right now

December 12, 2025 at 8:45 AM UTC A chance to hire an Astro core maintainer!

You know the drill: upgrade right now. These aren't as serious as last week's RCE, but they're still bad. Platforms are blocking these, but once again you shouldn't rely on it.

December 11, 2025 at 4:14 AM UTC Ooh, I was looking for something that supported that recently. I was trying to get LLMs to give me recommendations based on my ratings of other books. I ended up doing a full export from Goodreads and uploaded it into context, which isn't ideal.
December 10, 2025 at 5:39 PM UTC Not the greatest example, considering what the 2024 Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded for

A suggestion of what's possible โ maybe other sorts of chocolate on top?? Hopefulness โ I hope there's proper milk chocolate too, because white chocolate is a bit bleh
December 9, 2025 at 12:13 PM UTC I think mainly it's just people don't think of it, because they don't use them. A lot of software make it easy to add a feed, but don't enable them by default. Often a quick nudge is enough to get them to enable it.
December 9, 2025 at 7:21 AM UTC Why yes, I did spend ยฃ50 to go to the cinema yesterday to watch a movie that's going to be on Netflix on Thursday. I have no regrets.
December 8, 2025 at 8:04 PM UTC Maybe not recently. I'm the last person to defend Meta or Vercel, but this is the first vulnerability of this severity that I know of from these frameworks. It's not like Drupal, where there was a serious CVE every few weeks when I used to work with it
December 8, 2025 at 7:46 PM UTC If it wasn't clear: large numbers of Next.js sites are being pwned right now by attackers. If you don't want every script kiddie, cyber criminal or nation state APT group with full access to your site, stop everything and upgrade right now. Then rotate all your secrets.
December 8, 2025 at 9:48 AM UTC And even if it's only accessible through a WAF you should still update, because attackers are actively trying to bypass the WAF rules, and no WAF is 100% effective. Don't be complacent! Upgrade right now!
December 8, 2025 at 9:45 AM UTC If you are running a vulnerable Next.js or RSC app behind Cloudflare or other WAF, but your origin is still accessible directly from the internet then you are not protected! Attackers are iterating IP addresses so you will probably be found. Upgrade right now!
December 8, 2025 at 9:42 AM UTC It's very different from those, and hard to describe if you haven't been.
December 8, 2025 at 8:51 AM UTC This is very true. Getting good at that has been massively useful for my career.
December 8, 2025 at 7:34 AM UTC It's worth persevering. It's a much more thoughtful critique than those bits might suggest. He doesn't try to claim that LLMs aren't useful. His criticism is based on the economics, and is one that I more agree than disagree with.
December 8, 2025 at 7:30 AM UTC Ok presumably you know about this but to answer my question for anyone like me who missed it when it was released, this is super interesting. A hybrid approach that uses ML for small scale stimulation, with a more traditional physics solver for large scale processes, but rewritten to run on GPUs.

Fast, accurate climate modeling with NeuralGCM
Architecturally are climate models similar to weather models? Could approaches like WeatherNext form the basis for new climate models?
December 8, 2025 at 7:12 AM UTC Please treat the WAF mitigations as temporary protection to give you time to upgrade. Attackers are actively trying different ways to bypass the protection rules.
December 6, 2025 at 8:08 AM UTC The original React2shell PoC is now public. This is as bad as it gets โ full RCE. You must upgrade now. There are mitigations in place in CDNs including Cloudflare, Netlify, Vercel and AWS (and sites on Workers aren't vulnerable to this sort of attack), but there are variants in the wild now.

That surprises me! I don't think it *should* work right now. WHat did you override?
December 4, 2025 at 7:55 AM UTC The strange thing is that that doesn't look like a description of "Plan" at all. Or is it unrelated to plan mode?
November 30, 2025 at 7:18 AM UTC For me, it's when it's been created from scratch just by prompting, with little or no human review of the code. It's neutral to me, but implies disposable, single-use things that were never meant to be maintained, so would be derogatory if it was something meant for production.
November 30, 2025 at 12:56 AM UTC Instead of using low-paid gig economy workers, they're replacing humans with robots.

November 28, 2025 at 10:52 PM UTC Taking away benefits always polls well, unless it's from pensioners.
November 27, 2025 at 9:04 PM UTC The subject, her expression, the location, the composition. And it's a tell, not proof.
November 27, 2025 at 8:54 AM UTC They also did so much pitch-rolling that everyone was preemptively angry, regardless of what actually ended up in it.
November 27, 2025 at 7:57 AM UTC Asking Gemini is the only way, I think, and by all accounts even that is not hard to bypass. It catches the restaurant pic too. I like how here it clarifies that even though it's AI-generated, the recipe is good.
Honestly the closest thing to a tell is the subject. It looks like the stereotypical AI-generated "fantasy girlfriend" pic that engagement bait accounts share on Twitter, but just better quality.
November 27, 2025 at 7:36 AM UTC This fundamentally misunderstands the software development process. I can see if the code is good. A large part of my job is reviewing code written by other people. I review LLM code in the same way. It's not perfect, but nor is code written by humans. That's why we (imperfectly) review it all.
November 27, 2025 at 7:22 AM UTC Do you really think the correlation literally inverts if you change it to "used in the past week"?
November 27, 2025 at 6:50 AM UTC India and Nigeria, from those I've seen. Both countries with rich traditions of online scams
November 27, 2025 at 6:44 AM UTC Lots of different things! That's the point โ it's useful in lots of different ways. For me the killer app is programming, but I also find it useful for research.
November 27, 2025 at 6:37 AM UTC I really think that's just a Bluesky thing, and not backed up by the data. Younger people use it more. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
800 million people a week find chatgpt has utility for them, and tens of millions of those find it useful enough to pay for. It has a lot of weaknesses and drawbacks, but arguing that it's not useful is very hard to sustain.
November 27, 2025 at 6:07 AM UTC That article says that around 5% of users are paying, so about 40 million people
November 26, 2025 at 11:30 PM UTC I don't think we have anything public yet. We're still interviewing candidates at the moment. I expect we'll share more details next year after the first cohort are done.
November 26, 2025 at 8:46 PM UTC For 1, I really don't know, and it is a real concern. As for whether one person can be better than another at using an LLM: absolutely they can. It makes a huge difference, and I'd go so far asa to say that explains most of the difference in experience that people have with them.
November 26, 2025 at 3:13 PM UTC At Cloudflare we're massively increasing the number of interns we're hiring, in large part because they tend to be so good at using LLM tools.

Senior principal engineer here with 25 years of experience. It's true it doesn't replicate the full scope of my job. It does however make me massively more productive in the parts where it can help. I'm not vibe coding: I'm delegating or pairing with it, and reviewing its code like it's a junior dev
November 26, 2025 at 8:57 AM UTC Well done. I'm sure you're still aware of the concept of them. People have a hugely inaccurate idea of how much power AI uses. There's a lot of scolding for using AI that you don't get for things that use a lot more power, like video games.
November 23, 2025 at 7:24 PM UTC Loved BASIC and HyperCard as a kid but didn't know coding could be a job. Trained and worked as a pastry chef. Got 1st gen iMac and discovered web dev and PHP. Quit the chef job and founded a startup at the peak of the dotcom bubble.
November 23, 2025 at 8:44 AM UTC Good idea. In most cases I doubt they even copied and pasted: I think they just asked their LLM agent to open an issue or reply
November 21, 2025 at 6:57 AM UTC Yeah, using an LLM to write an issue is bad, but using one to write the comments is unforgivable.
November 21, 2025 at 6:41 AM UTC I'd be up for talking about Astro and the other stuff I'm building!
November 21, 2025 at 6:35 AM UTC I give my arguments here

It's about perspective. If you want by the replies you get on here you'd think LLMs were uniquely bad for the environment, whereas both of those examples would use far more energy
November 20, 2025 at 5:22 AM UTC Do you ask this when people tell you they've played videogames or taken a non-essential drive in an EV?
November 19, 2025 at 10:09 PM UTC Whoa. This would be incredible for frameworks like Astro. Enough to make me reconsider my dream of removing streaming support.
November 19, 2025 at 6:09 PM UTC @philhawksworth.dev got accused of this too! Your voices are unrealistically pleasant.
November 19, 2025 at 1:24 PM UTC Try `test.only` and then run 1000 miles and never let it near your projects
November 19, 2025 at 12:06 PM UTC This is a great post mortem, and as someone who only joined Cloudflare last month it's a hell of a lot more understandable than our internal incident channel

Maybe instead they could stop announcing things that increase the salience of their weakest issue
November 9, 2025 at 1:13 PM UTC Some of it, sure - but this is more flexible, and I prefer to approve each action individually
November 7, 2025 at 12:19 PM UTC I create quite a lot of libraries, and use a template repo for them., including a CLAUDE.ออmd with instructions to set the repo up and then delete that section. My latest addition says to use the gh cli to configure repo settings and rules, including adding secrets from 1pass. It works great!

Yeah. I've had laptops with MDM before, but Cloudflare's endpoint security is next-level (as you would hope for a security company).
November 7, 2025 at 8:05 AM UTC The secret is the experimental Container API that @ematipico.xyz created. I've previously used that alongside jsdom for tests. The complicated bit here was getting scripts working.

October 30, 2025 at 11:56 PM UTC Having a reliable income allows them to budget, which can be a real problem when they rely on one off donations. When I accepted that buying food to donate was mostly about making myself feel better, I just set a regular monthly donation and forget about it.
October 29, 2025 at 7:50 PM UTC And for most charities, smaller recurring donations are better than larger ad hoc donations.
October 29, 2025 at 7:40 PM UTC We haven't worked out prioritisation yet, but I expect to still be doing some work on Astro, both in my own time but also on Cloudflare time
October 29, 2025 at 10:03 AM UTC My ViteConf talk is up. A chance to see some of the stuff coming up in Astro

October 20, 2025 at 7:45 PM UTC What incredible work you've done! I wish you all the best for whatever comes next, and hope I can meet you!
October 20, 2025 at 7:36 PM UTC Some of you got it! I'm super excited to share that I'm joining @cloudflare.social to help it be the best place to deploy every web framework. No bias to Astro, I promise!
Yeah. I usually block these on sight, but when I got one I'd heard there was a bug being exploited so I loaded it up in my post viewer that shows all the raw details to see how they'd done it
October 20, 2025 at 5:53 AM UTC Good point! Should be pretty easy to set a count that would catch every spammer with no false positives
October 20, 2025 at 5:49 AM UTC Probably fine to ban every account that's done it, and the weirdos like us who are experimenting with it can appeal
October 20, 2025 at 5:45 AM UTC Anecdotally it's blown up in the last few days. I guess the spammers just discovered it and now they're all doing it
October 20, 2025 at 5:41 AM UTC Ah, interesting! So this should be validated at the PDS and it's fine for the appview to drop them
October 20, 2025 at 5:38 AM UTC In those cases I think it removes the facet but keeps the embed (which is a separate field)
October 19, 2025 at 8:19 PM UTC Allowing multiple overlapping facets of the same type didn't seem like something that should be allowed, and there should be limits to the number allowed in one post. At the very least though they should be blocking these users and preventing notifications from this kind of mention
October 19, 2025 at 8:17 PM UTC Yes, exactly. When you mention someone in a post, it's done as a "mention facet" that links from some text in your post. In the app that text is always the user's handle, but in this post it has 651 mention facets, all linking the same character: a single space at the start of the post.
October 19, 2025 at 7:26 PM UTC These are totally legitimate real accounts in Gaza that just happen to craft posts that abuse a Bluesky bug to invisibly mention 651 accounts.
Every LLM I've asked correctly describes what piece of media this represents: ๐คโจ๐ ๐๐ญโก๏ธ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐ซ๐งฑ โก๐โค๏ธโ๐ฅ ๐ง ๐ค๐ฅ ๐ข๐โ๐ ๐ท๐ธ๐ถโ๐๐ฏ ๐โ๏ธ8๏ธโฃ๐โ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ๐๐ฏ ๐๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฌ๐งโ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ช ๐โก๐ฏ ๐ชโก๏ธ๐กโก๏ธ๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐๐
October 19, 2025 at 5:26 PM UTC It should be totally doable. It's not much different from deploying to Cloudflare or Deno. I think the changes that @ematipico.xyz is working on to enable environment API support should help too, as it simplifies a lot of the manifest handling.
October 19, 2025 at 1:40 PM UTC Yes, I've no problem getting around it. I just find it ironic to have that on a story about refusing to distribute the news
October 19, 2025 at 1:34 PM UTC They exist because they're each allowed four FOBT machines, which are an extremely lucrative way to encourage problem gambling
October 19, 2025 at 9:06 AM UTC Thanks! I'll still be working on Astro, just not as my full time job
October 19, 2025 at 9:03 AM UTC There's a reason marching in uniform is illegal. I wonder why they weren't stopped www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Edw8an...
October 19, 2025 at 9:01 AM UTC Some personal news: today is my last day as Astro framework lead! I will still be on the Astro core team, but I'm no longer an Astro employee. I am incredibly grateful to @fks.bsky.social for giving me this role: it's been a joy and honour. As for what's next? Well, I'll share that soon...
October 17, 2025 at 3:11 PM UTC No timeline yet. We've not even started implementation yet. Mainly looking for feedback on the API design for now.
October 17, 2025 at 2:23 PM UTC Your feedback would be super useful! Sanity would be a perfect use case for the live collections + cache tag combination
October 17, 2025 at 9:01 AM UTC Maybe both were wrong and we can recognise that? The web was transformational, but most "just add web" hype businesses failed. Same for AI โ it's important, but adding some AI to a business doesn't justify the valuations. As an Xennial who started my career during the dotcom bubble, it's familiar.
October 17, 2025 at 7:08 AM UTC The big differences from ISR etc are: - Based on web standards, using cache headers and CDN caches where possible. - Cross-platform, with support for all different hosts and caches. - Supports dependency tracking with granular cache invalidation of pages that use individual content entries.
October 17, 2025 at 6:38 AM UTC I have a new RFC up for route caching in Astro. It's our answer to ISR etc, but it has some important differences that I think would make it really powerful. If you saw my talk at ViteConf you will have seen a preview, but this has a lot more detail on implementation and API. I'd love feedback!

I think TikTok will probably be ok. If people don't interact with it, they'll down-rank it. Instagram will probably be filled with its own slop as they desperately try to make Meta AI a thing
October 15, 2025 at 2:29 PM UTC Cross-document is the big one, but as a Firefox user I celebrate the wins that I get
October 15, 2025 at 12:56 PM UTC Or maybe Vite+ brings Mootools support. Array.prototype.flatten for all!
October 15, 2025 at 12:54 PM UTC I am far more positively-inclined to AI than the median Bluesky user, but even I believe the world would be better if Sora didn't exist.
October 15, 2025 at 12:52 PM UTC SvelteKit is almost certainly faster, but I don't think that's what this benchmark is showing.
October 15, 2025 at 11:16 AM UTC I don't think these are meant to be like-for-like comparisons between frameworks. They're separate benchmarks, comparing hosting platforms.
October 15, 2025 at 11:14 AM UTC I'd imagine the explanation is "wants to get paid for something that's taken a lot of work to build"
October 15, 2025 at 8:50 AM UTC Standard digital is ยฃ279/y and is worth it if you can afford it. I also thought I'd read a few articles per month, but after ditching the Times and subscribing it's probably my most read paper
October 14, 2025 at 8:09 AM UTC I may not have been to many in-person conferences recently, but ViteConf had considerably more drones flying 50cm above people's heads then I would have expected (2).
October 14, 2025 at 6:26 AM UTC I always just assume that people who say they can't taste bay leaves are just not paying attention, considering the fact they're among the strongest-tasting herbs
October 13, 2025 at 9:16 AM UTC The amount of scrumpy that I consumed on that quayside during my 20s would sink a boat
October 11, 2025 at 2:16 PM UTC No, it's literally just a silly thing I threw together for the bad UX contest!
October 9, 2025 at 6:47 PM UTC More importantly, why is the earth so large? The answer to both is: so you can see them

October 7, 2025 at 8:48 AM UTC Borough Market has definitely fit that description since the early 2000s, if not the late 90s.
October 7, 2025 at 6:11 AM UTC I'm not talking about posts like that. I'm talking about random, unrelated posts from different Bluesky employees.
October 7, 2025 at 4:57 AM UTC This is what I'm getting at. I don't think saying something positive about AI is undermining the community
October 7, 2025 at 4:49 AM UTC Yes. Saying something you disagree with is not the same as saying something hateful, and telling someone to fuck off for it *is* toxicity.
October 7, 2025 at 4:46 AM UTC Ok, I disagree but think it's fine to believe that. The problem is that I often see people replying to a post about AI in the same way they would if that post was itself racist, transphobic or similar. That to me seems seriously disproportionate, and an example of toxicity here.
October 7, 2025 at 4:36 AM UTC So do you believe that saying something positive about AI makes a person evil per se, or just that those people are inevitably evil in some separate way?
October 7, 2025 at 4:23 AM UTC The fact that there are people who consider that saying something positive about AI makes a person evil does explain a lot
October 7, 2025 at 4:12 AM UTC Depends if you consider being a Bluesky employee or saying something positive about AI to be something terrible
October 7, 2025 at 4:03 AM UTC Yes, this is a technical thing. Account moderation is at the AppView level, and Blacksky still uses the Bluesky AppView (though I believe they are planning to move to their own)
October 6, 2025 at 6:32 PM UTC Yeah. For me it tips it from "wtf that doesn't even deserve flagging" to at least understanding where they're coming from.
October 6, 2025 at 4:08 PM UTC I agreed at first when I read that, but it seems there is very important context missing. It's quoting a post by Jay alongside a picture of Charlie Kirk moments before he's shot, with an alt text that says "negative consequences" (from Jay's post). I can see how it could be interpreted as a threat.
