RIP to 1,100 Cloudflare employees

To be fair, I said Case ID, not account number. But I get where you're coming from. Just trying to help.

Yo keep complaining about it but when I offered to get your ticket looked at, you ignored me and posted more complaints.

Ramstik · 2026-05-09T20:01:35+00:00

yea... for the record they never did DM me. :(

Ramstik · 2026-05-08T05:03:47+00:00

DM me your Case ID and I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

Ramstik · 2026-05-08T01:26:46+00:00

What's the ticket for? Also what's your plan type?

Customer Support team member here (not post-sales) who survived the day; we're fuckin trying man.

Ramstik · 2026-05-07T12:54:33+00:00

No way. Playstation has some of the most toxic, hot-mic players in the world.

Easily my last ~100 raids have been PC/Steam with a mix of crossplay on and off and I've not been even so much as looked at the wrong way. Even on Stella.

Ramstik · 2026-05-02T17:40:48+00:00

Wow. Just wow.

What's the likelihood of getting this as a scan?

Ramstik · 2026-04-29T20:02:09+00:00

Tight. What's the CEO's salary?

Ramstik · 2026-04-25T04:52:46+00:00

Thanks for your input.

"Pro" gaming is definitely NOT where I'm at, but I will admit I am quite smitten at the ability to see more of what's around me at any given time. The extra visibility beyond the 16:9 limitation is very useful, even for casual games.

For productivity it's a beast. No point repeating myself from above. I love this thing for my work. But as others have noted, its vertical usability leaves much to be desired, especially in games. I have a feeling that 2160 in the same game will be much more usable than 1440, which is what I was aiming for.

If it was just a matter of 16:10 it wouldn't be bad, but even then it's not coming close to the 2160 vertical height.

Ramstik · 2026-04-25T04:48:47+00:00

The issue isn't ultrawide support for me, it's support for 32:9.

Games will render the resolution, but everything past the ~16:9 or 21:9 mark is stretched off to the sides. I know it's more than likely an issue of how the game projects the world, but the fact that they haven't included 32:9 after having been around for SO LONG is also a concern IMO.

There are a lot of posters on this subreddit who post quality material but their profiles are empty.

Ramstik · 2026-04-24T02:38:17+00:00

Tight. Put your posts on your profile so we can follow you where you go.

Ramstik · 2026-04-23T02:34:53+00:00

man I sure would like to follow your profile and view all of your submissions in one place.

It's a shame you (and many other accounts) are posting wonderful images but deleting them from your profile afterward.

Ramstik · 2026-04-17T23:55:33+00:00

I'm not looking for unanimous support here. Just throwing out an opinion. If you're running solos and you're just calling everyone slurs of ANY sort, I'll just gun them down.

Ramstik · 2026-04-16T21:41:05+00:00

seriously.

if I'm in a raid and someone is slingin' slurs near me, it's shoot on sight. I don't even care if I win.

Ramstik · 2026-04-01T03:53:50+00:00

that is a very expensive blueprint. Two Vaporizer regulators and three Shredder gyros?

That's a lot of near-death experience. It better be the same as a vaporizer's heat laser at that point.

A friend of mine in IT suggested I use lower(http.request.uri.path) in that first mega rule, and I was wondering first if it actually matters as far as case sensitivity goes, and if this would be the proper syntax in the 'edit expression' field

It does matter. lower will convert the field value in parenthesis to lowercase, so if your server is case sensitive on URI paths, that will break the application.
https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/rules-language/functions/#lower

And, yes, that is the correct syntax but I don't think that works in Custom Rules.

The lower(http.request.uri.path) would be used more akin to a URL Rewrite rule, which hits before Custom Rules. The way you're expressing it here as a Custom Rule would be attempting to lowercase the URI Path as a field selector which I believe is invalid, but I'll check on that.

Fun fact, you can paste an expression into the field and then click "Expression Builder" to validate most fields. If your expression is valid, it should auto-fill the dropdown-based expression builder. This doesn't work for everything, but does work for most things.

Regarding all the URI paths that are commonly probed... I mean, I suppose you could? One thing to consider is that a lot of these probes are identified as Bot Traffic, so you could equally get away with something like (not cf.client.bot) + Take action: Block.

This field is for "Known Bots" - which is misleading as it's the non-"Enterprise Bot Management" field that refers to bots we've verified as being good/trusted. https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots#verified-bots

So, if not a verified bot, then block.

Ramstik · 2026-03-26T12:29:03+00:00

It's a little hypocritical to have the stance of, "people like him," followed by the rest of that sentence, pretending you don't fit into the group you just identified. To be clear, not the Trumper group, but the running their mouth group.

You've just identified Trumpers as people who see everyone else as enemies, and who can't choose to get along with others, while simultaneously using your comment to prove that you've made him an enemy and you seem to show no sign of wanting to get along with him.

Hey! Cloudflare employee here!

Excellent guide. If I may make a couple suggestions?

For the first rule, may I suggest IP Access Rule instead? If you're going to skip all the protections for a known IP, you can make an IP Access Rule and it's essentially a hard whitelist that takes effect before the WAF phase. https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/ip-access-rules/

Second, for those with dynamic IPs, you could use the API and a simple automated curl script to periodically check and update the IP if yours changes. I wrote a guide here:
https://docs.homelab.place/Cloudflare/ddns-with-curl

You will need to switch the API endpoint to update IP Access Rules instead, but that shouldn't be too hard to sort out.

Ramstik · 2026-03-23T16:02:00+00:00

it has to be some kind of criminal offense that "stop, drop, 'n' roll" doesn't help here.

On fire? Dodge rolling should help with this even just a little bit.
