What's also hacker-unfriendly is giving all your hacker-friendly article's traffic to Cloudflare, and then letting Cloudflare block Tor exit nodes from reading your article.
- offmycloud 10mo agoI'm using Firefox on a Linux workstation (without Tor) and I still got the CAPTCHA. The statement "blog.adafruit.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding" is misleading at best. Shame on Cloudflare, this kind of dishonesty makes me not want to trust your RCA marketing pieces.
- tomstockmail 10mo agoSame with Firefox Focus on Android.
- 0x1ch 10mo agoI received the same prompt from a Windows 11 machine at work. This probably has nothing to do with Tor or Linux, but their Cloudflare settings.
- neilv 10mo agoIn addition to Cloudflare's usual nonsense (e.g., give us all the cleartext because reasons, and also unblock our bad-UX code that doubles as an additional tracker), it looks like Cloudflare here might also be blocking Tor exit nodes (either proactively, or in response to detected abuses from those addresses).
- anigbrowl 10mo agoProbably because the HN hug of death looks like a DDOS attack.
- superkuh 10mo agoProbably because they're using the cloudflare defaults which are terrible like everyone else.
