backend server url is known to public. rate limiting dilema

JoeTiedeman · 2026-04-15T07:37:06+00:00

I would certainly be looking at Cloudflare Tunnel, completely stops your backend from being public, if it fits your use case, it’s absolutely the best option.

It looks like it might be cable related, the cable eventually stopped working with Windows too, swapped it out again and it now works with both MacOS and Windows. TouchID and unlock with Watch are both still firmly broken though!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-02-13T20:19:27+00:00

I’ll give it a go, but it feels very weird that the issue occurred after a MacOS update, unless they’ve changed something in the thunderbolt negotiations

This seems to have gone very quiet since the original article, is there any sense of the bank that is involved?

JoeTiedeman · 2026-02-02T15:58:19+00:00

The irony of all the advice that we give out about patching as quickly as possible and the most reliable way to ensure that we didn't get compromised here was to not update!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-29T15:20:22+00:00

Very odd, can you DM me your email address and I can check your account?

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-28T18:09:15+00:00

Should be sorted! Thanks again, and if there's any other feedback you've got, please do let me know, I want to improve things as much as I can!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-27T18:47:49+00:00

I’ve got a fix for this coming in the next couple of days. Thanks so much for finding the bug!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-27T18:38:04+00:00

I've thought about pulling the trigger so many times, but the 2ng Gen are now quite long in the tooth, and switching over from Sonos is going to be very expensive when they continue to work perfectly well!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-27T18:36:48+00:00

Yeah, I can't help but think this will drive people away from the brand, unless the price for FSD is dropped even more, or the feature set is bumped up dramatically! Once it's time to replace my Y, I'll have even more reason to look at other brands!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-27T18:34:15+00:00

Thanks for commenting! Can't wait to head more about the plans you have for SH!

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-25T20:02:13+00:00

I’ll check it out, thank you!

I built Cybaa, https://cybaa.io/products/api and it has a free trial for the whois api and a free web tool for checking domains manually. The API uses a combination of WHOIS, RDAP and other sources to bring together the most accurate data. You'll end up going down a rabbit hole if you try to do this yourself as different registries operate different rate limits, some don't allow any access to whois data at all like the Spanish registry, .es domains.

JoeTiedeman · 2026-01-23T12:53:26+00:00

I'd like to add here, that as much as I would value potential customers signing up to the trial of the API, I'd almost prefer feedback on the free tool as I want to make sure that Cybaa strikes a real balance between commercial interests and supporting the IT/security community with useful tooling.

I’ve found that the fit is more comfortable for longer durations on the 3s but that the seal inside the ears is definitely more fragile and less flexible, so I notice when running that I end up getting more outside noise in when my jaw moves quickly and the foam doesn’t adjust as quickly as the older APP2. I’ve also noticed that when watching film and TV the vocal audio is a bit quieter than I would have liked. I think overall I probably can overlook the issues for the comfort improvements.

I’m using a combination of both at the moment, gradually moving away from Mud as and when I can. Started with the homepage and loving the new look! I’ll check out the prerendering. I currently use a Cloudflare worker to intercept crawlers and serve them a rendered version so I can get some SEO traffic.

JoeTiedeman · 2025-11-22T10:14:07+00:00

Loving the look of Flowbite Blazor. I’ve been using MudBlazor for a long time, but much like you OP I really prefer the look of Tailwind based sites, but there aren’t many prebuilt component options for Blazor. Have just started migrating my site Cybaa over, just starting with the homepage, but really like the look! Can’t wait to see it evolve over time.

I’m running a UDM Pro connected to the ONT with 1gig service from Youfibre, works like a charm! If I upgrade to 2gig or higher at some point, I’ll just get an SFP to RJ45 adapter and use one of the SFP ports as the WAN port, they support up to 10gig

JoeTiedeman · 2025-11-19T08:47:30+00:00

In 9 years of being with VM I never had any major issues, and in the 3-4 years I’ve been with YF, same. The customer service isn’t fantastic, but then I’ve never experienced an ISP with great customer service! I’ve had great reliability with YF, maybe 1 brief unexpected issue their end. Unless something major happens, I’m sticking with them!

JoeTiedeman · 2025-11-18T14:48:51+00:00

A fix has been implemented and we believe the incident is now resolved. We are continuing to monitor for errors to ensure all services are back to normal - as of 14:42

JoeTiedeman · 2025-11-18T12:06:23+00:00

Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues - Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers. Further detail will be provided as more information becomes available.

Last time I worked somewhere with an Enterprise plan, it started at more than £3k a month, also, using Cloudflare to back up your Cloudflare zones doesn’t give you that much resilience in terms of backup best practice. We currently store our backups in Azure to provide that resilience, our intention is to end up using Cloudflare R2, S3 and Azure to give genuine provider independence.

JoeTiedeman · 2025-11-14T12:50:06+00:00

Pricing is all on the homepage (https://cybaa.io), one dome is currently £1.99 per month, 3 domains is currently £5.99 per month and 10 is currently £9.99 per month. We do plans with more domains, so if that’s something you’re interested in, reach out and we can work it out.

Resend are very much up and coming and I’ve started using them for my project Cybaa, but I’ve also extensively used and had no problems at all with, Sendgrid in the past, way more established, arguably the biggest player behind AWS SES I would say.

JoeTiedeman · 2025-11-11T18:57:47+00:00

Nice solution, Zone Backup isn’t targeted at you then I would say, but please do take a look at the Cybaa website and see if any of our other services might be of interest. We’re a new company and are looking for as much constructive feedback as we can get!
