A few years ago, my friend applied for a history teacher position at a private school for 10k. Yesterday, I saw him working as a driver for that same school. When I called him to ask why he chose to be a driver instead of a professional teacher, he said,

What is the best combo-shop you’ve ever seen?
There used to be a shop in Wigan that sold guitars and prams, but I think I’ve just found my new favourite…
Records and Tortoises.

I have a bad_ips list set in cloudfare configurations -> Lists. On my domains, in security, i've a rule blocking all ips in that list. (ip.src in $known_bad_ips).
On my server, a script analyse nginx logs and if there are some attempts to certains urls or many attempts within some time frame, i collect those ips and push it to cloudfare known_bad_ips list via api. Good thing about this is, all my domains have that rule blocking ips in the bad_ips list and bad_ips list is on account level: in one place. Any weird attempt on my one of my domains get logged and protect all my domains. Works great.

The main thing I miss on Cloudflare is a single [ Block IP ] button
It boggles my mind it's not there, you can see a traffic spike and a person doing 50,000 requests per minute, but you have to write a security rule and go through 10 steps to block it
Too difficult
Just let me [ Block IP ] from the Security Analytics or general Analytics dashboard

My A-level economics teacher used to print out articles from The Observer that he thought I should read. I hope the things I write can inspire a similarly nerdy teenager. I don’t think I’ll be short of topics!

Some personal/professional news: today is my last day at the IFS. There’s nowhere else I’d rather have spent the last nine years and leaving is such a wrench. But it’s time for something new, and I’m excited to be joining The Observer as Economics Editor from 7 April.

When I set up a new Hetzner VPS first thing I do install Tailscale and once I'm in via Tailscale lock down the firewall to only accept web traffic on HTTPS 443 for Cloudflare IPs and SSH 22 for Tailscale IP
That way nobody can get in
I know I keep repeating this but it should be basics of setting up a new VPS
So basic IMHO it should be part of any VPS service to default install Tailscale and enable it so it's the only way to get in
Why?
A VPS server is just like your laptop or destop computer but now imagine if it's connected to the entire internet with 8 billion people that can access it and try hack it
You want to only have it accessible to you
And if you want to host a website on your VPS (like I do), you should only let Cloudflare access your VPS so it can stand in front and block any hack attempts
Never expose a VPS to the world wide web which realistically is the world WILD web

@levelsio @nfcodes I created a redis instance on hetzner with public port open for few minutes and someone was running a cryptominer the next moment taking 50% CPU 💀 After that I always use @Tailscale 👌

@dmitri_dolgov @Waymo The post mentions "Across 127 million miles of fully autonomous operation". How does nearly 200M work?

With the $16B in new funding, we’re accelerating the deployment of the @Waymo Driver - the world’s most advanced physical-world AI. With nearly 200M fully-autonomous miles under our belt and scaling exponentially, we’re just getting started… trillions of miles and safer roads ahead!

Coming up for 2 Days Later and I’m still absolutely fuming. 28 Years Later was a beautiful, poignant, masterfully edited film. This was like what I imagine one of those ‘Mickey Mouse has entered the public domain’ horror films looks like.

Waymo having an annual revenue run rate of $350 million is a huge deal and a really strong sign that the company will do well, especially once it transitions fully to lower cost vehicles from companies like Hyundai and Zeekr

@samoverend42 You have. At that time, you'll have been on .NET Framework 3.5. Since then performance has improved about 10x on identical code, and 100x on certain features. It's now open source. Huge progress. Except on the UI front. UI is still awful, XAML sucks, and MAUI isn't finished.

Genuinely was recognised by, and had a conversation with, a fan of my work in Southampton this evening. First time that’s happened. I am going to be insufferable.
