The big problem with statement-based replication is that many queries are non-deterministic. e.g. Inserting a row with current_timestamp or random()

Yes, it was the Ghost URL. Thank you for correcting it! I read just about every post, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

This is really cool and I can't wait to read all about it. Unfortunately, I've missed a month of blog posts because Cloudflare changed their blog's RSS URL without notice. If you change blogging platforms and can't imple

I don't think Starlink has any data caps. On average, the tests download 140 MB and upload 15 MB each run (560 MB and 60 MB daily).

Note that the timestamps are UTC, while Texas is UTC-6:00 during Standard Time and UTC-5:00 during Daylight Saving Time. The biggest dip is during prime streaming hours.

My parents in rural Northeast Texas use Starlink as their primary connection (they have a WISP as failover). Since Sept. 2022, I've been running automated speed tests four times a day (1 and 7, AM and PM). Speeds vary a lot throughout

Can someone explain what it looks like from a user's perspective when an article is blocked? Is there an error message? Limited reach? Plain link instead of rich preview? If the publishers don't want their photo, headline, and fir

With Messages and Music in particular (and perhaps other apps), you can sign into a different Apple ID than the one used for the system-level iCloud account.

That's likely due to the page having a canonical URL meta tag: <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.twintown.com/collections/acoustic-guitars"/>

javascript:prompt('URL',window.location.origin+window.location.pathname) Edit: But be aware that some sites (like this one) need the parameters in the query string.

Thank you for following up. IMHO, object-fit is not the right model for server-side image manipulation, since its behavior is only specified when both width and height are supplied. I've also never seen a real world use case for stretc

In nearly two decades developing for the web, I've never found a good reason to enlarge an image server-side, so thank you for anticipating that footgun. So many of your competitors get it wrong. However, it's unclear from the doc

No, Argo optimizes the route of traffic from the edge (your closest Cloudflare data center) to the origin (the server hosting your website). With Pages, everything is served from the edge.

Static sites benefit from being low-maintenance and highly-portable. You can easily switch from generous free services (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, Firebase, etc.) to highly-available paid services (Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaz

The benefit of a static site generator like Next.js is that you can cache everything at the edge. It’s not surprising to me that the initial page loads quickly (via Cloudflare’s cache). But the multi-megabyte JSON embedded in the HTML as we

While looking for the blog’s RSS feed (sadly it doesn’t appear to have one anymore), I noticed that the size of the HTML alone was nearly 5 MB uncompressed. Over the course of scrolling to the bottom of the page, it loads tons of 4+ MB JSON

This is the second security issue with a TLS-based challenge [1]. This was a good reminder to switch to the HTTP challenge for the one remaining server I had that was affected. [1] https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge

fit=crop and fit=cover only work well if the source dimensions are greater than 512×512. If either dimension of the source is smaller, the behavior is useless. fit=cover will return a square (as requested), but will enlarge it (which you ne

I want to maintain the aspect ratio of my crop, not that of the source image. Perhaps `fit=cover-scale-down` would be a more appropriate name. In other words, I always want a square image <= 512px wide. I think this is a very common use

That’s why many image CDNs allow signed URLs. With Cloudflare Image Resizing, you’d need to implement that functionality using Workers.
