Interesting. No mention of kernel bypass, which Cloudflare was also discussing in 2023-2024.
wmf•5h ago
Outside of HPC/HFT most people will never need kernel bypass. If you just got off Nginx you probably have years of optimizations left to do. (Username checks out though.)
majke•3h ago
There should be a political party for people who use opcode mnemonics as their nicknames or domain names.
nwellinghoff•6h ago
So why is this surfacing again now and why not a up to date article on Oxy? Which sounds very useful btw.
wmf•5h ago
There are always people who haven't heard about stuff. https://xkcd.com/1053/
nchmy•19m ago
Surely you're not saying that everyone should just start posting all of cloudflare's blog posts? Let alone all blog posts on the net.

So, what's the threshold for what should be shared, given that most people don't know most thing things...?

Not only, but the opioid crisis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_...) is still something pretty specific to the United States, so you can't automatically assume that developers from other countries (I'm going by the author's name here because I wasn't able to find other information about him) will be familiar with the street names of various opioids...
leosanchez•4h ago
What does it mean ?
stanac•4h ago
Short for oxycodone, a drug abused by addicts.
system2•4h ago
They were too nerdy to think that way (or even know the street drug names).
isodev•3h ago
I know it because of movies and books... so can we trust a "next generation proxy framework" by people who don't go out, don't read and don't watch culture things? The name is similar in other languages too..
wongarsu•59m ago
The implication of being too nerdy would be that they are extremely well-versed in fantasy, science fiction and/or anime as well as random niche topics. They would probably read or watch way more culture things than you or me, just the kind that deals with current societal issues by allegory and thus wouldn't use real-world street names for drugs

Not that I think that that's a fair conclusion to jump through. Occam's razor would prefer "they were probably vaguely aware and didn't care". Just like how Torvalds knowingly named git after a slang word for a stupid person

isodev•3h ago
Yup, here I am on the other side of the world and that was the first thing it reminds me of. The link to Rust is... remote, and I have to think a lot :D
linsomniac•5h ago
I spent some time on Friday trying out Cloudflare tunnel and boy was it a bad experience. The big killer was that the tunnel endpoint they gave me had an IPv6-only endpoint that I'm not sure was even valid. None of my devices could connect to it, including macbook, phone, linux, AWS instance...

On top of that I keep running into unexpected roadblocks with Cloudflare, like when I was trying to set up the tunnel they required me to set up a dedicated domain, you can't set up a subdomain of an existing domain. Probably fine if you are rolling it out as a production service, but for just testing it to make sure it even works (see IPv6 comments above), I just wanted to set it up as a subdomain.

watermelon0•5h ago
Haven't used Cloudflare in a while, but in the past you needed $200/month Business plan to be able to use subdomains of an existing domain with DNS hosted elsewhere.
h33t-l4x0r•9m ago
Nah, I'm free tier. I register domains through them and I think I pay around $10/month for R2 storage. All kinds of other freebies come on that tier, D1 databases (sqlite), Workers (think Lambda)
csomar•4h ago
That really sums up the cloudflare experience and this is from someone heavily invested in their workers platform. They have lots of products and keep pumping more but except for DNS, most of them are half assed with weak maintenance/support.
Jnr•4h ago
It was a smooth experience for me. Just start the cloudflared container with the provided key in the environment and you are done. I also don't have ipv6 but it is not required and if I remember correctly I did not have to specify any endpoints, just the key.
h33t-l4x0r•3h ago
Works great for me, 5 subdomains coming to various ports on my dev pc for whatever project I'm testing (8000 for laravel, 3000 for nextjs). Way better than ngrok.
stingraycharles•2h ago
We're using Cloudflare Zero Trust quite extensively, and I find them quite easy to use. Works perfectly from AWS as well, all their endpoints have both IPv4 and IPv6 IPs.
pyeri•2h ago
localtunnel[1] is one good option, at least for now.

mrasong•2h ago
Gotta say, this is amazing, exactly what I needed.
letmetweakit•1h ago
I don't really get how the developer can run the project free of charge without monetization options. Does this solely rely on donors?
pyeri•52m ago
Tunneling isn't that big of a toll on resource, it doesn't require storage/disk space nor compute power (CPU chips), all it needs is ingress/egress (spare bandwidth). A non-profit or decent business in telco can easily offer it, consider that many hosting companies offer entire package in free tier today (compute + disk + egress).

For several years, ngrok was practically free, only recently they've started monetizing once it gained popularity.

f311a•1h ago
We spent 3 days trying to properly integrate their tunnels to our internal network. I took us 3 hours to integrate tailscale.

Tunnels are poorly documented.

drexlspivey•3h ago
Oxy actually means sharp or acidic in greek. Oxygen was wrongly named like that (acid former) because it was thought to be the element to give acids their sourness but later many acids without oxygen were discovered. The key turned out to be hydrogen not oxygen
koakuma-chan•5h ago
How does it compare to Pangora?
thayne•3h ago
Is it the same thing? Perhaps oxy was later renamed to pingora?
littlestymaar•3h ago
The linked blog post has an entire section about that:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-oxy/#relation-to

> Although Pingora, another proxy server developed by us in Rust, shares some similarities with Oxy, it was intentionally designed as a separate proxy server with a different objective.

lionkor•2h ago
Another un-google-able (OXY as in Occidental Petroleum Corp?) name for a Rust project. We just cannot help ourselves.
