I've just been presented with a captcha thingie asking me to select all things that can be picked up by a pair of chopsticks described as "the tool in the image" Fuck off. Then that vanished and another even more vapid effort appeared. Fuck off. If you need to piss around with this sort of nonsense, you probably shouldn't be entrusted with a website.

i clicked the url and saw that first very weird looking captcha - then immediately closed the tab looks like the archivers have trouble with it too; reminds me of the behavior of a virus with all the redirects lol edit: for those with custom filterlists via ubo: - ||iop.org

  Archivers work fine for myself: https://archive.md/qUlES https://archive.md/qUlES There's also a direct PDF link https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2752-5295/ade17d/pdf https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2752-5295/ade17d/... that also prompts for captcha (unless you arrive there via the web version) Looping redirects on archive.XX urls often traces back to the use of Cloudflare DNS resolver .. the archive folk have some beef with Cloudflare over (?) handling privacy (?) and loop redirects on connections that arrive via that path. It's a new captcha type for myself also. Interesting as it requires spatial reasoning and a bridge of understanding between text request and objects in images - although it falls to the usual farm of human captcha solvers.

    nice, well i am using quad9; archive.org had 503's too (edit: lol i wonder if it did complete for me but somehow something else caused a loop - i never went to the search prompt afterward)
