One major advantage of open source is, vibe coders like myself can run the codebase against proprietary LLMs 😏

Blows my mind that Silicon Valley still picks language by IP. Terrible UX in a world of travel, VPNs & multilingual countries.

Cloudflare working in Spain, but down for major other parts of the world isn't something I had on my bingo card for today 🤐

Nice summary of my recent appearance at the Coinrock Show! Wish more pragmatic Bitcoiners would come on shows like these to share the cool things being built on Bitcoin. Thanks for having me on! https://coinrockmedia.com/news/kilian-rausch-bridging-bitcoins-future-one-layer-at-a-time/

I want to shed some light on what's currently happening with the Internet in Spain🇪🇸 Spoiler: it's bad. Like 2010-China-bad. Let's start with the tl;dr: 🚫A judge gave the Spanish football league (LaLiga) the power to force ISPs to block IP addresses from a list it controls Sounds dystopian? Well that's because it absolutely is. Here is how things went down: In a Dec 2024 Barcelona court ruling, LaLiga was granted the right to compel ISPs (starting off with Movistar and DIGI), to block thousands of Cloudflare IP addresses because of illegal football streams. Initial blocks started in early February 2025, with LaLiga specifically mentioning @Cloudflare but scarily also "VPNs" in a statement. Child pornography is being thrown into the justification, just to make sure everyone is aware of who the bad guys are.

Official statement

In relation to the blocking of IPs during the recent EA SPORTS LALIGA matchdays linked to illegal Cloudflare practices.

As Cloudflare IP addresses are shared between customers, since approx. 15th of Feb thousands of legitimate websites using Cloudflare are not reachable from Spain when a LaLiga match is running. Yeah... they were so thoughtful to only block when a match is on, thank you overlords ig🙏 Cloudflare & RootedCON filed an appeal against LaLiga, asking to declare LaLiga’s blocking measures *illegal* because the IP blocking measures were disproportionate. But corrupt Spain being corrupt Spain the judge dismissed the appeal. https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/1jke3pc/the_judge_who_authorized_cloudflares_ip_address/ Since then the blocks only expanded, because via "Dynamic Court Injunction" LaLiga can freely update the blocklist. By now, Vercel and many others are heavily impacted. Hell, Vercel and Cloudflare seem to be working together for once.

But here comes the absolute worst part of it all: While for techies it's a button press, regular ppl are heavily affected and should be INFURIATED. But.. they are not. No protests. No law suits. Almost no coverage by legacy media. Not a topic among friends. Nothing. It's just 🤯 It feels like Spaniards gave up. "Might as well enjoy the party while it lasts" vibe. Socialist-led dystopian control is expanding since years: bank reporting requirements, war on cash, war on #Bitcoin, protection of illegal occupants on "your" property

I am not sure what my conclusion or call to action with all this is as I have very little hope for the drastic change it'd require to rescue the country to happen. Maybe just I'll just leave it as-is: a sad and dystopian status quo of a country having its Great Firewall moment.
