I've coerced Codex and Claude to build Cloudflare-but-shit because I wanted to have healthcheck-based DNS records (A, CNAME) so I can host stuff on 100 RPis in 100 different places with any type of connection (public IP or behind a CGNAT).

It has DDNS, Tunnels, very-flexible-record definition and Anubis will be implemented soon or you can bring your own.

Powered by PowerDNS and Rails, and if I get some free time I'd like to just have this as an actual offering since I always fear Cloudflare putting more and more things behind a paywall.

Shockingly, it works, obviously the DNS I'm doing now isn't RFC compliant, but this already scratches my itch.

It's really hard to not become a euroskeptic, despite being involved with so many EU related things from my youth to now in which I believed wholeheartedly, but this is just... I know - they just need to win once, we need to win every time.

You've got the LLMs to code, now you need the glue

This is skimming over the important details, "democratic" is really stretching it.

I also liked the idea that oh look Iran was this liberal country and whatnot but unfortunately it's just not true.

The author equates "you need a permit, which you obtain by making proof you follow the law and best practices re: handling dangerous substances" with "BANNED!!!!!!".

I dislike how misleading and emotionally targeted this is and I understand the hate we get as tech people if this is the best we can do.

Not long before owning that will land you on some list, but nevertheless I laughed a bit thinking of it.

As someone that migrated off of Heroku back in 2023 for a monitoring start-up - why were you still on Heroku?!

A lot of things because LLMs enable my potential ADHD and no-filter-brain. A thing that controls a small FPV drone from the PC with vision input. Cloudflare but in Europe! An open source synth out of a Pi Pico! A reservations engine for local market. A small orchestrator for when Swarm is annoying but K3S is just too much!

Thank you. I have thrown printers out the literal window.

New comment by CodinM in "Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines"

CodinM — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 09:53:13 +0000

I read through that and I'm not a fan of Cloudflare. I live in the EU, I dislike the increased control that the EU keeps desiring - but generally we've fought it with various degrees of success. I feel it's a bit disingenuous to act like the US has total internet freedom since you're the folks that invented ISP letters. Regardless of that, what really bugged me was the threat of removing the free-tier service for any Italy based accounts, which despite being fully in their right to do, is a shitty thing to threaten with - and it's shocking he would threaten that so easily.

So yes, my reaction is now to move all of my shit from Cloudflare as soon as possible because I don't see CF as a reliable partner right now after that tantrum.

This is impressive, especially because in my mind Bose doesn't have the image of the corporation that cares at all about its perception - especially of its perception in such a small circle that would care about this, but I'm definitely going to bump them up on the list of things I'd buy in the future.

Yeah, I agree. If more than half of your offerings are in-office that flag is misleading at best, and I think I actively looked at the positions last month and had the same gripes.

New comment by CodinM in "Anxiety disorders tied to low levels of choline in the brain"

CodinM — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 14:28:33 +0000

"...choline levels were 8% lower in those with anxiety disorders" that's by no means clinically significant.

I feel like a lot of the studies coming out lately are trying really hard to corelate information and join the meta-studies wagon.
