Browser Run - Browser Run adds a Playground to the Cloudflare dashboard

Browser Run now includes a Playground in the Cloudflare dashboard. Use it to try Quick Actions against a live browser without creating a Worker, installing an SDK, or deploying code first. The Playground helps you test a target URL or raw HTML input, tune viewport and page-load settings, preview the output, and copy working code for the same request. With the Playground, you can: Capture visuals as screenshots or PDFs. Generate multiple output formats in one request with the snapshot endpoint. E

The Five Ideals of DevOps: os Cinco Ideais que Sustentam a Transformação DevOps

Toda organização que tenta "fazer DevOps" acaba, cedo ou tarde, comprando um Jenkins, adotando Kubernetes e escrevendo Terraform e mesmo assim continua com deploys arriscados, times sobrecarregados e um MTTR (Mean Time to Recovery) que não sai do lugar. A ferramenta certa não resolve um problema de arquitetura e cultura errada por baixo. É esse o ponto de partida de The Five Ideals (Os Cinco Ideais), um framework conceitual que separa DevOps de "conjunto de ferramentas" e o trata como ele realme

Presigned URLs vs proxying file uploads through your backend: cost, latency, security

Use presigned URLs when a web app only needs user files to land in object storage, and reach for a proxy upload through your backend when you must inspect, rewrite, or serialize the bytes before they're stored. For ordinary SaaS document and media uploads that's the presigned path almost every time, and for a dull reason: your API server never touches the payload, so it can't be the thing that runs out of memory at 3 a.m. I've built both. The choice itself is easy — what people underestimate is

Wetask Is Opening Its Task Runtime to External Workers

Wetask's next update brings durable, fenced external workers, atomic batch settlement, and first-party Go, TypeScript, and Python clients. Wetask started with a simple goal: combine the pieces commonly assembled around That means a task queue, scheduler, cache, consensus, operational APIs, and The next Wetask update takes that idea beyond embedded handlers. Applications External workers are useful when execution cannot or should not happen inside Python workers running machine-learning jobs Type

Why I don't use an LLM to secure my LLM

"So you're anti-LLM for security?" No. I'm anti-lazy-architecture. Let me explain the distinction, because it's the core design decision behind the tool I'm building. The common pattern for AI security right now is: for every request, call an LLM and ask "is this malicious?" It feels right because models understand nuance. But making a frontier model judge every single request is like making your staff engineer review every line of every commit by hand. Expensive, slow, and they burn out by lunc

Termux-Sync: Don't Rebuild Termux. Restore It

If you use Termux on Android as a real development environment, you eventually run into the same problem: What happens when you get a new phone? Your Termux environment may contain: hundreds of installed packages Python and Node.js environments Git repositories shell scripts dotfiles configuration files SSH configuration development tools personal projects custom environment variables years of terminal customization Rebuilding all of that manually can take hours. That's why I built Termux-Sync.
