Maybe the whole world is not in the U.S. What is the FTC? The Royal Air Force Flying Training Command?

Now I'm curious, how is it called in the UK? I tend to use "FTC" as the general term when I want to refer to a trade regulatory body in a country, as in "UK's FTC equivalent". I wasn't aware it is so obscure?

Probably the UK CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) which regulates competition/antitrust, mergers, national security acquisitions and the like.

Or there is a loosely defined locally-run thing called 'Trading Standards' which is done at the council ("municipality") level.

and for the record I am just being difficult and everyone in tech/mildly well read knows what the (U.S.) FTC is. My point is more that one country's rules don't always matter for the operations of domestic commerce in another amongst their own citizens.

We famously mock our own jusrisprudence - "if Parliament passes a law that it is illegal to smoke on the streets of Paris, then it is illegal to smoke on the streets in Paris", so even when hard legislation exists (4chan/Ofcom shitshow?) it is meaningless.

The only power that matters long term in the universe is sheer force and hard power, and it has always been that way.

I'm currently running a SaaS on Cloudflare Workers + Pages. The developer experience is genuinely good, deploying serverless functions and static sites from the same repo has been seamless. But I hit a real issue recently: CDN edge caching served stale HTML after a deploy, and the service worker cached the bad response. Took a CDN purge from the dashboard to fix. The debugging experience when things go wrong at the e…

Cloudflare's biggest benefit is the wrangler cli which when paired with claude code means that you can completely handoff setup/debugging/analysis. Some of you may be skeptical about this but it allows for much easier management when working on multiple SaaS/hobby projects/personal tools.

I deploy to Google just fine with Claude and have ZERO use for Cloudflare's toxic code.

I have been the service provider who had to paywall just to stop the spammers and you're right. But it's also true that kids will be collateral damage (or anyone without a credit card). In my case, and it was the 90s, I took the time to setup a way to pay by calling a premium (1-900) for $1.49 number so the barrier to entry even for kids was still reasonable. Maybe in modern day the equivalent is adding Google pay an…

If a parent can buy their kid a computer, they can pay 1 euro a month for a CDN in the rare case they need it. This is a bad argument.

I had trouble explaining to my parents what a BBS was. I wouldn't want to explain what a CDN is.

Seemingly lacks IPv6 though? Cloudflare requires you to pay them and make an explicit effort to disable IPv6. Sad to see it not enabled by default on Bunny.

They do support IPv6 but not in every POP, unless something changed.

I have IPv6-only backends and I had to select serving from the main POPs rather than the entire network (which is fine by me as they are also cheaper).

Yeah IANAL, but this sort of endorsement with undisclosed remuneration would probably run afoul of FTC guidelines, which is why you see disclaimers like "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases" everywhere. The author seems to live in the UK, but a cursory search suggests there's something similar there as well.

It's pretty fair to assume someone on a USA site, run by an American company, that is a major VC firm based in San Francisco, in an article talking about moving away from another USA company that is located all of 2 miles away from ycombinator, and speaking english should be able to put 2 and 2 together when dealing with contextual information.

If they can't they probably should move to an international focused site.

I'm in the process of doing this for a Spanish client because of the La Liga situation. Only using edge storage, DNS, and CDN so far but very happy with Bunny.

I had not heard of the "La Liga situation", but googled and what I learned was that La Liga is a Spanish football (soccer) team, and their players did a protest action about not wanting a match to be staged in Florida, and the team owners tried to say it was an illegal strike, but a court recently disagreed and said it was protected protest....

I still have no idea what any of this has to do with any clients moving from Cloudflare to Bunny.net, what am I missing?

Comparing hashes of responses without knowing what is inside wouldn’t work?

No, as the request headers would be different for things like time.

Ya maybe. Blocks that are hashed perhaps?

I use bunny.net for CDN and DNS. I don't like free offerings, because what if they decide to charge someday? What if someone decides "free is not feasible, we start charging $20 per instance now". I'd rather have a low fee now, a change from $2 to $3 is more likely and that's fine for me. But from free to not free is risky for me. I also like smaller, independent-ish ompanies that actually care about developers. That…

A change from $2 to $3 is as likely as change from $2 to "call us for quote"

R2 is pretty darn hard to beat. No egress, and only like $.57 per million read operations. If you're running a video streaming use case (and not using terabytes and caching or abusing your bandwidth) I found no one else compares. Does anyone have thoughts or disagree on this in terms of pricing and cost effectiveness?

When you serve video from R2, you do it directly from R2 to client, not with an additional Cloudflare CDN in front, and that works fine? I have been trying to understand video and R2.
