The article is dated October 2025, but I don't recall ever hearing about this before, and it doesn't look like anything has ever been posted on HN.
The separation of storage and compute is new for Heroku, though they are not the first to do so. So far it seems like there's still only fixed combinations of vCPU and RAM, and that the price of each "no storage included" instance is more than the equivalent storage-included "Classic" instance size.
AI-related definitions aside, if it's a strictly subtractive/destructive tool that only removes light, it's hard to characterise as "generative" and arguably not much different to filtering frequencies!
You're absolutely correct and it's me who has mis-read that part. The point of the oddly relaxed wording on sexual images and behaviour still stands though!
> Unacceptable behaviors include but are not limited to: offensive comments, insults, jokes or ridicule; gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they are nor other unappropriately aggressive behaviors; threats of violence or deliberate intimidation; creating additional online accounts in order to harass another person or circumvent a ban; harassment of any form.
I can't help but wonder who decided that, in an electronics forum of all places, *any* form of joke should be unacceptable, but sexual images are only a problem if they are gratuitous or off-topic!
Our site is fine, including files served by Cloudflare's CDN and Cloudflare Workers, but the Cloudflare dashboard is definitely down.
The Cloudflare status page says that it's the dashboard and Cloudflare APIs that are down. I wonder if the problem is focused on larger sites because they are more dependent on / integrated with Cloudflare APIs. Or perhaps it's only an Enterprise tier feature that's broken.
If it's not everything that is down, I guess things are slightly more resilient than last time?

Seems like they think they've fixed it fully this time!

Things are back up (a second time) for me.
Cloudflare have updated their status page now to reflect the problems now. It doesn’t sound like they are confident the problem is fully fixed yet.
