LQ needs to review the security of your connection frustrating delays

Jeremy is certainly busy, but otherwise setting up an Onion site is dead simple and just a few steps.

Compose your posts for LQ in a text editor. Complete with bbs tags, links. You can spell check it, format it etc.

When you are ready to post, copy/paste into the bbs posting box. If cloudflare does not like it, you have lost nothing. Modify, try again.

Especially if you are planning to post some source code between code tags.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/bash

for ((a=0; a<=50 ; a++)); do
    echo -n "0% [ "
    
    for ((i=0 ; i<=a; i++)); do 
        echo -n "|"
    done
    
    for ((j=i ; j<=50 ; j++)); do 
        echo -n " "
    done
    
    v=$((a * 2))
    echo -n " ] "
    echo -n "$v %" $'\r'
    
    sleep .1
done
echo -e "\nDownload complete"

Anything lengthy could/should be typed in a text editor and copied over to forum, when ready...

Learned *that* lesson years ago in another forum...

Please try again! At least this reader only comes here for the questions!

Sigh... didn't see there was a "page 7"!

Carry on!

As I suggested before, perhaps handing out private login url's aka captcha bypass code to all members is going to solve all this heartache. My screen froze because of Cloufare just a moment ago.

How hard can it be for a linux guru to implement this on the internet's premier linux forum? Bootlickers chime in if Cloudfare permits.

Snide: stay away from cloudflare!
They've been hacked! Just kidding, although it's interesting to see the behemoth getting taken down

Even though cloudflare is actually probably the 'good guy'!

I would say that cloudfare is the "good but not terribly competent guy" rather than the good guy. They do provide a service that is important, even critical to some businesses and hosting sites. Alas, although on of the cheapest they often have infrastructure issues. I have been given to understand, although I am unsure what reliability rating to give my source, that anyone providing those service cheaper is even less reliable or outright untrustworthy.

The problem is that spammers, register accounts to post, so anything which only targets "guests" and let's members through, will be ineffective.

This is the first time I was able to reach the site since weekend, for 4 or 5 days it was an blocked by infinite cloudflare loop. Well, that's one way to keep scammers away. There is another, even more efficient - just shut down it already.

Oh no! I started my Linux journey at Linux Forums. When that closed down, I moved here. Where am I going to go if you close this one? There is no Slackware forum.

I just got this when I tried to upload a screenshot (neofetch showing Slackware ARM running on the RPi 400).

I have been getting that as well for about two weeks also. I cant upload any pics because of it also. Something is amiss on the forum.

I am using Firefox and getting the above when I try to upload a picture. Weird. Never experienced it before. Asks if you are human, and then get a message:

For the last year or so. I can not usually post in code blocks from qt5-webengine or qt6-webengine.

I can always post anything from webkit2gtk. (Which is what I do) I compiled a little mini-browser, just for posting to LQ.

Webengine must send less identifying info. Cloudflare does not like it. Webkit sends more info, or allows more redirects and does not look like a bot.

For whatever that is worth, and whatever that says about the two browser engine projects.

Let me see here today...

Code:

char *gw_cookie_file() {
    char *cookiefile =
        g_build_filename(g_get_user_data_dir(), "gw", "cookie.db", NULL);
    char *cookiedir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_data_dir(), "gw", NULL);
    int result = 0;
    if (!direxists(cookiedir)) {
        result = gw_create_dir_recurse(cookiedir);
    }
    free(cookiedir);
    if (result != 0) {
        fprintf(stderr, "failed to create cookiedir\n");
        return NULL;
    }
    return cookiefile;
}

Edit:
Ok...never can tell. That was from qt5-webengine
