Something seriously wrong with it. When I run it with my normal German/EU home connection, it does ~17k iterations. When I run it with a US Atlanta VPN, it only takes ~6k iterations.
- Rebelgecko 2y agoI think that part was a joke
- lionkor 2y agoI think OP, like me, wishes it wasn't (it would be very funny)
- thayne 2y agoNot for those of us who live in the US. It would basically lock out real people in the US, while doing nothing to block bots, which could just use a different source ip.
- Rebelgecko 2y agoI think 1 or 2 extra 0s would be funny but 5 seems excessive
- sadeshmukh 2y agoAh yes, 100x worse for US users is amazing.
