Whats the roadmap looking like for Linux?

I don't have Mac or Windows.

Check the client debug logs mine has the verification for the enclaves in it although I'm on an intel i3 but that makes sense for Intel's remote attestation that its verifying the enclave's unique hash and showing the MRENCLAVE hexes of the expected result.

Trying it out, so far so good. Worked on my mangled Linux install.

I have and have been using Proton VPN which the free version. If you use it for bittorrent, even to download a Linux ISO which is what I did, will straight up DNS hijack you and feed you a web page instead of the web page you're looking at to scream at you that BitTorrent is only allowed if you're a paying subscriber.

So.. that means they can just access and re-route your traffic however they want and make you see whatever they want.

Fascinating use for SGX Enclave tech, I see in the client debug logs show API hits that do the verification. I'm on an intel i3 with gigabit connection and am pulling 800mbps up/down.

Fucking agreed. But if you check out street fighter on youtube with 'Street Fighter mike ross tool assisted' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWS3Kq5p77k

You can inject cheats directly in to the Xbox's back then directly through the fight sticks

You'd know though if somebody was cheating so not sure how crazy the SF scene had cheats but check out tool assisted; when I originally saw it I just put my head down

When VAC was originally introduced, CPUs only had 32bit architecture, not that 64bit hindered anything; but you could inject cheats in a near infinite amount of way, or have cheats read from memory directly, or have cheats do things especially through video drivers. Hell, glitching your nvidia drivers and setting things like Negative LOD Bias would allow you to see through textures in some cases (wall hacks)

It's been a cat and mouse game since the dawn of gaming and e-sports.

Fun fact: CS 1.6 competetive had what was called "Organner" when teams switched over from CAL to CEVO (first paid e-sports online league) and as well as ESEA which is acclaimed for its anti-cheats; the pro players you see/saw such as n0thing, summit-1g (not saying he did cheat, he wasn't pro in CS1.6, 1g was a pug team that meant 1st generation and a lot of us were in it) -- but everybody in the pro scene around that did cheat, or had cheaters on their team.

n0thing was banned from CAL rigorously for cheating in CAL-Premier and rejoined with complexity after ringing for other teams in CS1.6 matches (ban evading). he's admitted to cheating in CS 1.6, and found fame with Counter-Strike 1.6'd Evil Geniuses organization which encompanied the old compLexity roster.

These dickheads went on to make fortunes; not to say that they weren't good in their own respects, but people such as n0thing openly admit, and will admit if you ask them on the stream if they cheated in 1.6 to get to where they're at.

You could inject cheat codes through your mouse drivers at LANs and if you set a low FOV aimbot, it was undetectable: IE triggers when you aim at their chest, aims up to hit the head; and had advanced net code modifiers to land bullets in places you weren't aiming all together.

Knowing this, completely ruined the pro scene and wanting to watch these matches and personalities all together. To know how many legitimate players out there were passionate about these games, looking to go pro, and really enjoy competing at the highest levels couldn't because the skill gap was so significant, and then even more so because pro players had undetectable cheats.

Still to this day it is virtually impossible to detect hacks, however games such as DotA2 make it signifcantly harder to cheat by only sending frames/updates when it should; rather than old games sending all player data. I believe Valorant has a decent system but all in all; I helped run the leagues and the level and problem at which cheating was occurring, was known about, and not being able to prove what you know, would make you SICK if you ever enjoyed competing in e-sports.

It would show on people's accounts though and in in Counter-Strike scrims and matches if somebody had a VAC ban on their record/profile you just kicked them if you could and found a new team to play.

So while engine specific, people still judged you, especially in pubs (public servers)

Been a _long_ time since I've played. Fucking cheaters.

Simple. The execs steal all the innovative IP, start new ventures, drain HP dry with its encredible decision making; completely fuck the Linux devs, use their works and contributions to OSS in the new ventures and then new waves of innovation/competition came about and what was settled upon was whatever looked profitable on quarterlies so servers, and printers.

I'm not saying that's what happened. But, it's a capitalistic type world.

Exactly. It tells me the same things. It'll often give me the require() for javascript on packages I should use.

Same. Replacing elements in with DOM in webdev is surprisingly fun with websockets too.

Having to know and learn 300 clunky frameworks, 97 different syntaxes it gets old.

HTML. CSS. Javascript.

Looking at all of these arguments and viewpoints really is something to witness.

Congratulations Cloudflare, and thank you for showing that a pioneer, and leader in the internet security space can use the new methods of 'vibe coding' to build something that connects people in amazing ways, and that you can use these prompts, code, etc to help teach others to seek further in their exploration of programming developments.

Vibe programming has allowed me to break through depression and edit and code the way I know how to do; it is a helpful and very meaningful to me. I hope that, it can be meaningful for others.

I envision the current generation and future generations of people to utilize these things; but we need to accept, that this way of engineering, developing things, creation, is paving a new way for peoples.

Not a single comment in here is about people traumatized, broken, depressed, or have a legitimate reason for vibe coding.

These things assist us, as human beings; we need to be mindful that it isn't always about us. How can we utilize these things to to the betterment of the things we are passionate about? I humbly look forward to seeing how projects in the open source space can showcase not only developmental talent, but the ability to reason and use logic and project building thoughtfulness to use these tools to build.

Good job, Cloudflare.

Read this: https://jan.wildeboer.net/2025/04/Web-is-Broken-Botnet-Part-...

Basically everybody's a bot in a hidden botnet now. And we agreed to it. Phones, tablets, Windows appstores add the SDK in, and then drone. One of the big ones is "Infatica" - devs get paid to put this in legitimate 'apps'

AI companies, and whoever and whatever else use the reputation-good IPs to hammer sites and well, it's fair game for all malicious people.
