- We want you to build the next Git platform on Cloudflare
Interesting platform from Cloudflare all built on Git but I have to say their message here doesn't seem focused enough on a specific solution.
- Building a certificate authority for the whole Internet
Happy to see Cloudflare extending into this space, although for me I already have Let's Encrypt and since it is a non-profit I think that is a better way to go. Ideally I'd love…

- Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
This is the first "real" use case I've seen where agents are given access to payment methods and buying something on their own. Starting today, agents can provision Cloudflare on…

Patent Trolls are often successful because companies do the math and decide it is easier and cheaper to pay them than to fight. Cloudflare however decided not to play ball. In the…
- Cloudflare’s public IPFS gateways and supporting Interplanetary Shipyard
IPFS is a technology I want to see work but I find it so difficult to use, and if I think that, well that says something. I've read this a couple of times and Cloudflare seems to…

If you host your own email, and use it for things beyond just personal email, it is critical that you configure everything just right for deliverability. Since I send the Weekly…

Another large outage tied back to BGP changes. BGP is incredibly necessary, but when you introduce a problem it can have profound impacts.
