While it's useful to not bother when you know it's unlikely to give good results, it does also feel a bit like a cop-out to suggest that the user shouldn't be asking it certain (unspecified) things in the first place. If this

Ah true! I meant authentication in general by whatever means, which seems dystopian enough already, but indeed my post can be read as being about facial recognition being required to visit random websites... that's even worse! Don&#x27

You'd rather do busywork that you know will definitely not benefit anyone?

Oh! Right, I had looked at the username to see if it was related but even that didn't make the name click. I must just have never heard it before

Ah true, I think I might have forgotten the context. They're big enough to do that. Most people I see recommending a CDN are freeloading on some big corp's systems

That counts as something that can solve it, yes. Apparently there's now exactly one party in the world that does that (among the annoying scrapers that this mechanism targets). So until there are more...

Moving bytes around doesn't take RAM but CPU. Notice how switches don't advertise how many gigabytes of RAM they have, but can push a few gigabits of content around between all 24 ports at once without even going expensive Also, t

The software is easy. Apt install debian apache2 php certbot and you're pretty much set to deploy content to /var/www. I'm sure any BSD variant is also fine, or lots of other software distributions that don't requir

That's not a certain outcome. If you're willing to do this case, I can provide access logs and any evidence you want. You can keep any money you win plus I'll pay a bonus on top! Wanna do it? Keep in mind I'm in Germany,

Good thing modern bots can't do a web search!

Doesn't have to be black or white. You can have a much easier challenge for regular visitors if you block the only (and giant) party that has implemented a solver so far. We can work on both fronts at once...

Well, to be fair, that's not our doing so not really an argument for why one should accept something one apparently dislikes (I myself find the character funny and it brings a fun moment when it flashes by, but I can understand/ac

Maybe they didn't have to write down as many randomly generated passwords yet and so context always acted as a checksum? Like if I write "its a blue sky" you still know what I mean from context, same as with typos/writos

I don't get the punchline. Are you not named that? Did they care that you signed by writing a random person's name, or were you imitating a specific person you knew or so?

I think the complaint is rather that you don't know when it will rear its face on third-party websites that you are visiting as part of work. Forking wouldn't help with not seeing it on other sites (Even if I agree that the boss o

Interesting, I didn't even know it had such a failure mode. Thanks for the reply, I'll sadly have to update my opinion on this project since it's apparently not a pure "everyone is equal if they can Prove the Work"

Well, this is their personal project. You're welcome to make your own, or you can remove the branding if you want: it's open licensed. Or if you're not a coder, they even offer to remove the branding if you support the proj

You don't have to get it to be able to accept that others like it. Why not let them have their fun? This sounds more as though you actively dislike anime than merely not seeing the appeal or being "ignorant". If you were to i
