BlockedOrDown

Real-time edge intelligence. Down or blocked - we know.

What it does

BlockedOrDown runs a three-signal architecture across Cloudflare's global edge — edge probe, browser-side test, and MIME trap — to tell you exactly why a site isn't loading: global outage, ISP block, or local network issue. 5,000+ services covered. Zero accounts. Zero tracking. Zero stored data. Every check runs at the edge and disappears. You're completely anonymous — by design, not by policy. Built by a solo dev. No ads, no surveillance.

    Local Privacy Firewall-blocks PII and secrets before ChatGPT sees themDec 2025 · github.com · ▲111

    OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
