DDOS filtering is done at the network level, so I'm not worried about that. I've just used Cloudflare for years and have gotten used to it's ease of use for DNS hosting and quick on the fly SSL cert setups.

I'll seek out an alternative and add that to the list, as well as changing the SSL cert since it's issued by CF as well.

Give me a few days, until then use any of the viable alternative methods.

Nice. Crusher P makes some really good English Vocaloid songs.

Appealing to authority isn't an argument, y'know? It's a logical fallacy.

I won't get it and within my personal contacts, no one will get it, either. Some of whom happen to be doctors themselves. If you feel comfortable getting a vaccine in the early stages of testing, good for you. I feel different.

Usually what happens instead is that you get an unsolvable challenge. Well, not always unsolvable, occasionally the algorithm has mercy and lets you through after minutes of suffering. But it's not really worth trying.

I've been stuck in reCAPTCHA hell before where I swear they were sent to specifically discourage someone from continuing.

"Select All the Crosswalks" but then, they have an image of the rumblestrips cut into the side of highways (that warn you when you veer off road) when, photographed correctly "look like" crosswalk stripes. Didn't select it because it's not a crosswalk, failed. Then everything else is "Select the bicycles" with images of motorcycles too. Does Google know the difference between the two? I do. Still failed, maybe I should have selected the motorcycles also.

And don't even get me started on the ones where you have like 4 pixels of an image in another square. Do you select it as well? Part of the fire hydrant is in that square. When selecting the street lights, do you choose JUST the very clearly obvious ones, or do you select the small, out of focus ones in another square as well?

Usually at this point I just say, "fuck it" and find what I'm looking for elsewhere.
