It’s integrated in uMatrix. I’s the puzzle symbol. You can only activate it, if uMatrix already detects recaptcha.

Yeah (though when it broke thanks to an ff update, a fix was released and then it was archived again). But it still works, and I use it because it has a vastly better interface for domain/type blocking than uBo.

I use the uMatrix plugin to automatically allow what’s required for ReCaptcha, that tends to work. I do get the annoying picker sometimes and have an AI extension to solve it for me, but it’s relatively rare, like 1 out of 5 times max (I ge

> On topic though, how does this improve on hCaptcha? Cloud vs self-hosted, click annoying things challenge vs automatic proof of work. Or are there other hCaptcha versions and I just never realized it?

by Semaphor 1y ago
I know this is partially a joke, but I’d like to mention that as a Firefox user with uBo and uMatrix, I almost never have to solve challenges with ReCaptcha.

2.5 was the most impressive model I use, but I agree about the comments. And when refactoring some code it wrote before, it just adds more comments, it becomes like archaeological history (disclaimer: I don’t use it for work, but to see wha

We had a (much smaller) regional (Lübeck and Ostholstein) power outage here in Northern Germany in I think 2018 or 19. No mobile internet until everything was restored ~6 hours later, and most of the time no other cell service either.

Dunno, my N100 with 1 SSD and 1 nVME (which hosts over 15 services including jellyfin) is probably not really relevant compared to my desktop PC. ~10W vs 180-350W depending on what I’m doing.

Symfonium [0] is pretty universally loved (I also use it), but doesn’t care if you point it at Navidrome, or Jellyfin, or anything else supported. [0]: https://symfonium.app/

Yeah, this gets even worse within EU, I luckily am probably less affected by that than you (thanks to country size differences), but when it hits me, it surely is bad.

I enjoy the cheap shipping (from Aliexpress China warehouses to Germany), but I really wish this would be improved. It just seems nonsensical. There should be a closer relation to actual cost, but paying 4-5€ for a national shipment, versus

FWIW, online banking in Germany was like this until ~10 years ago (maybe 15). Sundays and overnight, the service would be closed "for maintenance". That was "fun".

Controlling your data, instead of giving it to some SaaS. But unless you day job is sysadmin, better treat it as a hobby that takes some time and effort, not a free alternative.

You are (maybe) joking, but I’d guess there’s an extremely high overlap between HN users and Kagi users. I converted someone from a metal discord I’m in to Kagi with a promo gift last year, and he’s also the only HN user on the server ;)

I have it blocked because I had them show up with auto generated (and, obviously, wrong) AI slop results. Anything like that gets an instant block.
