Products that do what Cloudflare marking all traffic from Pakistan as threat does
whenever I click through to a site managed through cloudflare I end up seeing a screen asking me to identify myself. This has happened often enough especially with HN articles that I just close some articles outright and read the discussion on HN instead. As an experiment I setup cloudflare for website of mine which gets majority of its traffic from Pakistan (where I am located). This is what I see https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8037186/cloudflare.png It basically shows cloudflare marking 100% of traffic from Pakistan as known threats. I would be interested to find out if its a common problem…

I put this together since I find myself switching away from the terminal to see if anything new popped up in HN. There might be similar ones out there, didn't bother looking. It was a quick experiment, which might end up with a few more features.

Checking on some old material to provide some cross-referencing[1] I got this message: We've temporarily limited requests for old items. I've always taken it for granted that HN contained useful information that I'd be able to retrieve whenever I found the need, but this has brought me up short. Perhaps older discussions will eventually become unavailable. Will Google cache still have them? Will the Wayback machine still have them? How convenient will they be to find in the future. Probably this is a temporary glitch to prevent some overly enthusiastic crawler from bringing the site to a…

Hello HN, around October last year, I started to work on campaignkit.cc as a side project. It is a service to detect invalid and malicious email addresses. You can upload text files, and use the REST API or direct integration to retrieve a detailed report for each email address. End of March I added Stripe Payments and got my first paying customers via SEM. A coworker suggested starting a Show HN thread, so here we are :) I used golang for the backend since I wanted something lightweight with fast compilation times (coming from scala). For the frontend, I'm using Next.js and TailwindUI. On…

There are many task tracking solutions out there but this one is mine. It's open source and free to host on your own Cloudflare project. https://github.com/TAJD/projektor I had issues with paying for some of the solutions out there, and then the local solutions like beads etc always had quirks I didn't want to work around. I built my own solution on top of Cloudflare's very generous usage tiers, and I've enjoyed using and developing it over the past month or so. I thought it might be good to share here and get feedback. The deployment process is designed to be super…

Shmauthor here. Built this for myself, putting it out in case it's useful. Needed any URL as clean Markdown for LLM context — including Cloudflare/anti-bot sites. curl gets HTTP 403 on those, raw HTML is 80%+ nav noise eating context, paid SaaS (Firecrawl, Jina) wasn't an option for me. It's a Docker wrapper around two existing OSS tools — CloakBrowser (stealth Chromium that passes Cloudflare) and rs-trafilatura (HTML → Markdown). No new scraper, just glue. Runs locally, my URLs stay on my box Token reduction (raw curl HTML vs snitchmd, tiktoken cl100k_base): -…

Hello HN, I’m excited to share something we’ve been working on: Cloud Troubleshooting Labs. This tool provides on-demand environments for engineers to practice hands-on troubleshooting with AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. What it does: We use Pulumi to spin up these environments. Each scenario includes a diagram and an explanation of the available IT infrastructure. Engineers are tasked with fixing configuration issues to make the application work. Depending on the test type, the environment could range from a simple terminal to a full cloud environment or a web-based VSCode. Many of our…

Hi, i was wondering what the HN community thinks of this email tone check application? Do you think this can be done better with open-source? Disclaimer: I am neither a founder or an employee at the company. Just someone who had a similar idea.

Hi HN, I previously wore SWE/SRE hats on GCP. Later, I was on the other side, managing thousands of machines. The friction points of onboarding and operating cloud systems are personal problems to me. I’ve found it hard to keep track of all the random cloud resources floating around, especially as my team’s assets proliferated. Occasionally, there is a resource affecting an outage but no one remembers where it is. I am constantly frustrated by existing tooling. APIs can work, after you’ve navigated the byzantine documentation, but I often find myself doing ad-hoc tasks which are best…

Hello community. Some time ago I was trying to create a project for my students using Hacker News data. As you might know, HN offers an official API [0], but it's based on Firebase and I felt it's main usage is to build clients, rather than consult data. I found out that Algolia also provides an official REST API [1]. It's exactly what I needed: the ability to "search" HN. Either by keywords, type of stories (Show HN, Ask HN, etc) and/or date. So I created a thin python wrapper on top of Algolia's Search API: https://github.com/santiagobasulto/python-hacker-news The…

This morning I've submitted our project to HN. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4099054 Got pretty helpful feedback. But that wasn't the only thing. 478 people requested invite out of 755. 63% conversion rate. Almost 9K unique visitor visited our website. At some point in the morning I was seeing 400+ active users on the website. Unbelievable. 35 people registered without telling them how to register. ( You cannot register directly, there is only a login form - but they figured out a way :) http://imgur.com/Kbf9J 6K people visited directly from Hacker News, 1K from Twitter ( I guess…

I created Cloud Looking Glass as a CS grad research project to build a better status page for public cloud platforms — independent and based on what users actually experience (in my experience, cloud providers tend to underreport events on public status pages). I modeled it as a time series problem: all tests are repeated every 5 minutes from three unrelated cloud accounts per platform (currently ~1,000 tests/min). The system provides full data plane, control plane, and networking coverage for AWS us-east-1, plus network testing across 25 other providers. Full coverage for GCP and Azure…

Hey folks, I am finally posting a Show HN post for a project I have been working on for several months now, and it's in a state where I already get a lot of value myself, so I am happy to share broadly. The pitch line is: "Skybear.NET is a managed platform automating Synthetic HTTP API testing." At the moment, the main source file format supported for your API tests are Hurl.dev files [1]. Hurl is a CLI tool wrapping `curl` and it's really awesome. At least check that out :) I am not affiliated directly with the Hurl CLI tool, and the platform I am building provides full Hurl compatibility.…

Gopher gives you what Cloudflare gives you — TLS termination, automatic HTTPS, hidden origin IPs, and bot detection at the edge — except the edge is yours end-to-end. The built-in tunnel turns any device with outbound internet into a publicly reachable server. Open source, self-hosted, Apache 2.0.

I've been having a lot of issues with my upload speed and wanted a cli tool to run in a cron job and couldn't quite find one to suit my needs. Sharing here in case others find it useful.
