"Navigating Cloudflare Challenges and Planning for the Future"

Jan 25, 2024 - 9:23pmSummary: The speaker is concluding their day, noting they need to have dinner and go to bed after facing challenges with Cloudflare's aggressive caching, particularly affecting video compatibility with Safari. They consider transitioning to R2 to ease the struggle with caching issues and video upload limits, since iPhone videos are restricted to 100 megabytes. Despite concerns about caching the homepage, progress was made on building the burrito.place website, and the agenda for the following day involves deploying changes and planning future steps for their experimental project.

Transcript: Okay, kind of wrapping up for the day. It's almost 9.30. I haven't eaten dinner, so I need to eat dinner and go to bed. I've just been struggling with Cloudflare's cache. It's pretty aggressively caching things, which is good, but also bad. Apparently, when it caches videos, it does not work on Safari for whatever reason. Getting the right headers sent over is becoming a pain. Probably moving to R2 for a lot of this makes a lot of sense, so that's going to be in the cards very shortly here, because otherwise this is really, really difficult. Other than that, it's doing remarkably well, and a lot of this can be done in memory, which is cool. Today, what we got done was is getting videos. Well, I say getting videos, but I just learned that the limit is 100 megabytes, so we have videos up to 100 megabytes, which if you're taking iPhone videos is like 45 seconds, maybe a minute. That is something that I need to modify this shortcut for probably tomorrow, so we go and hit my guesses R2 first, hit R2, and then go from there. I think that should work. I am also worried about caching the homepage, but that is something to figure out. I also built most of the burrito.place website. It needs to be improved, but more or less it's there. Tomorrow is definitely going to be a day of deploying. Lots of deploying, lots of sending messages out, and then after that, figuring out figuring out next steps. This is a little experiment. We'll see how it goes. If it's only me after a week publishing to it, that's fine. Let's see how it is.

I finished making breakfast tacos and have a day planned with reading, meditation, and possibly writing.

Productive Day and Tomorrow's Plans

Today was genuinely good. I enjoyed a brief outing, had a catching-up call with Katie, and worked on getting an app ready for Darren, which I'm hopeful he'll find useful. It's sparked a desire in me to develop a more robust infrastructure, something I see as entirely feasible. Planning for tomorrow, I want to integrate a design from Jordan into my work and, if possible, continue enhancing the app for Darren, focusing on stronger infrastructure and deploying it to a stable, cost-effective, or free hosting service, potentially something like serverless Postgres. Dinner was light, just almonds and some couscous, not quite a meal. After a productive day, I'm feeling pretty exhausted and foresee just watching a YouTube video before bed. I'm looking forward to driving up for coffee tomorrow morning, though I need to check my car's charge for the trip to Encinitas and also plan to do some grocery shopping. I aim to start the day early, enjoy an espresso, buy some beans, perhaps a pastry, and then see where the day takes me. I'm debating between taking my laptop and opting to journal instead, leaning towards the latter to give myself a chance to reflect and process my thoughts. So, that's the roundup of today and the look-ahead for tomorrow.

Today was a peculiar day that included exploring the Intention website and considering the best approaches to development, amid a struggle with the authentication process and frustrations with OAuth. Progress on a web app was achieved, despite dissatisfaction with its simplistic nature and a switch of rendering methods from React server-side to client back in the pages router, noting the app router's performance benefits. The experience with Next.js was more frustrating than anticipated, leading to doubts about its complexity and a desire for a simpler, more streamlined framework. The day was largely spent battling with development tools, an annoyance when trying to focus on productivity, with thoughts on potentially moving towards more server-side rendering and investigating React's streaming components for future enhancements.
