No "AI" required!

If your site is only hosted on one server and it catches fire, you can swiftly reinstall on a new server and change the IP your domain is pointing to, too... Still a single point o…

I run a small, extremely niche fan site with under 500 users, and I received a very similar email the other day - someone complaining about the "cookie popup" (which my site doesn'…

All the worst slurs I can think of in my limited vocabulary can't even be spelled with the characters available. I suspect the opposite - they might have been chosen to avoid spell…

It does not, at least not once you pass the Cloudflare Turnstile challenge (which can be done with an API as well.)

Is your company hiring? :)

I am always interested! Thank you for the tips, I'll definitely research these.

I would also be inclined to believe that my project to solve the proprietary 4Chan text CAPTCHA cannot solve an unrelated image CAPTCHA. I'd bet a lot of money on it, in fact!

I initially wrote the alignment-only script (in the source repo as `user-scripts/4chan-captcha-aligner.ts`) before the rest of the project because the person who was collecting the…

The 4Chan userbase hates the CAPTCHA as much as I do :)

I really hope my post didn't come off as if I was trying to make it sound like this was a new idea. Regardless, this is good information, because it counters the posts of the form …

Reddit and Twitter both have huge bot problems. On Reddit it's a bit less obvious due to the upvote/downvote system, and on Twitter it's a bit less obvious because you usually only…

Do a Web search for "4Chan CAPTCHA" sometime. All the top results will likely be people complaining about how terrible it is. You're certainly not alone. The worst part about the c…

What do you mean by "generated code"? All of the code in the linked GitHub repo was written by me, with the assistance of a couple friends who helped here and there, but didn't req…

This project was really my first decent introduction to computer vision and machine learning (along with that of those who helped me in various ways; none of them desired to be cre…

I need to manipulate the data a bit, because right now it's just raw, unaligned foreground/background images with solutions. I need to do the alignment and save them as images rath…

Some datacenter IPs can post fine, mostly just not those belonging to any large hosting company. I would mention a list of ones I know aren't blocked, but, well, that might get the…

Little bit, but at least you learned something :)

Yeah, I encountered those as well in my data gathering. I threw them out from the training set, but I kept them for possible future experimentation.
