I didn’t see the stats lately, but is it just me or Bsky is quite active and more engaging these days?

I shared this at work just for fun all I got was 🤔s, ⁉️s and 🤷s; one person did get it. nodelist.fidonet.cc/node/2/361/9

This is a really nice new Cloudflare feature: on-the-fly markdown conversion. Tools like Claude Code send an "Accept: text/markdown" header when making web requests. If you enable this it, it will send these agents a markdown version of your page instead of the full HTML. Really good for docs.

Man, Fallout's "okey-dokey" is contagious, now I use it all the time.

I may have a problem.

#SuperBowlLX featured many creative ads, and as we have done in the past, we used aggregated, anonymized 1.1.1.1 DNS Resolver traffic to identify some of the most popular ones. Traffic growth was calculated by comparing request volume to a pre-game average baseline. 🧵below:

Haunting.

The EU Cookies law is burning forests now.

Storm Kristin hit Portugal early this morning with winds up to 150 km/h (93 miles/h), causing power and communication outages. Internet traffic dropped ~70% in Leiria after 04:00 UTC and remains impacted. Coimbra saw a ~52% drop from 05:30 but is now recovering.

We're living a unique moment in time where both half of the HN top posts are about AI and one post, trending, is about learning 6502 Assembly news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4677..., a CPU from the 70/80s. Love it.

Bubble Bobble is the game where I invested the most coins at the arcades. In single player mode, the game was endless bubblebobble.fandom.com/wiki/Bubble_... and I was skilled enough to play for hours on a single coin. Love this sequel for the C64, 40y later after the original version was released.

In the AI age what used to be a "ping" in the chat, is now "Dear Colleague, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I am currently present in the designated meeting room, awaiting your arrival for our scheduled discussion. I understand that unforeseen circumstances.......

Commodore 64'ers know that '10PRINT' maze, the same can be achieved on a ZX Spectrum, using two lines 5 for i=0 to 7: poke usr "a"+i,2^i : poke usr "b"+i,2^(7-i) : next i 10 print "AB"(int(1.5+rnd));: goto 10 the result is as follows:

How it started: I'll just get this rare thingy to work, shouldn't take long. How it's going: I might as well reverse engineer the board, learn KiCad and draw the schematics.

The nominal restoration of #Internet connectivity in #Iran that was observed earlier today was apparently short-lived, as the small amount of traffic seen again fell to near-zero at 11:00 UTC (14:30 local time). radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir?d...

Not what I was expecting.

Great work by @jcs.org for a HUGE improvement to #BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Speed- will be in the next release but did a quick pre-release build with his branch if you want to try it out today! github.com/BlueSCSI/Blu...

in OpenCode v1.1.18 we implemented the detailed planning flow you find in cursor or claude code but not 100% sure about it yet so we put it behind a OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_PLAN_MODE=1 feature flag quick video on how it works but if you have feedback please put it on this thread

The endless “artist vs work” debate always generates lots of controversy, but today I’ll focus on the hundreds of Dilbert strips that made me laugh throughout the years.

Looks better and better with every new trailer, can’t wait.

Traffic from the largest ASNs in the country declined precipitously around the published start time. Follow the latest traffic trends at radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ug?d...

Iran's Internet shutdown is now in its third day. Traffic volumes remain extremely low. Follow the latest status at radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir #IranProtests2026 #IranDigitalBlackout

#Iran has now been largely offline for over 18 hours. It appears that access to @1111Resolver was briefly restored around 10:00 UTC. Internal data suggests some nominal traffic recovery starting around 09:00 UTC, but volumes remain extremely low. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir?d...

In the retro-computing hobby world, “I’ll get this working in a weekend” always inevitably turns into a multi-weekend rabbit hole. Fact.

This is the way

After initially falling around 11:50 UTC, IPv6 traffic from #Iran has now almost completely disappeared, starting around 13:30 UTC.

The start of 2026 is a great time to take a look back at key #Internet trends from 2025 in the @CloudflareRadar Year in Review. Insights into traffic, AI, connectivity, adoption/usage, and security, and supports comparisons, sharing, and translation. radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-revi...

Neat.

My quick take on the legality of the Venezuela invasion. open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

I was locked inside a plane on 9 hours flight, so I finally watched TRON: Ares. What a waste of time.

#Internet traffic in #Venezuela surged nearly 150% after reported US military strikes in the country. See the latest traffic trends at radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ve?d...

Bye Brazil, love your country. 💛💚

Looks like the MTV of my generation goes (officially) offline today. I have fond memories of discovering great music on MTV and endless hours watching Beavis and Butt-head. MTV was actually one of the reasons why I put a giant satellite dish on the roof before cable was a thing in my country.

“Once it’s on the Internet it stays there forever” is no longer true. It’s increasingly hard, if not impossible, to find old information about niche topics using traditional search engines. We should al support open preservation projects around the world, they’re doing important public service.

Now we're getting places!

Alright, let’s dump the ROM and see what's inside.
