@dumpsterqueer my naive approach right now is changing the signup template to put the email in a differently named form field, while adding a hidden field with the name="email". If that one is filled in (by a bot) the request is denied. We'll see if that's enough

writing proxy software is so fucking good because I can change behavior of software (Synapse, Gitea) without having to actually interact with their codebases

@tastytea i'm implementing it now, with a hacky proxy so I don't have to interact with the gitea codebase itself :)

@wmd@chaos.social yeah that's not great. As @tastytea brought up the gitea-native captchas are even worse in that aspect tho, because they're just image based captchas :/

reCaptcha is a no-go of course. Gitea also has image captchas but from issues it seems it's really not so reliable at keeping spam out

Does anyone have thoughts on hCaptcha? Gitea gets absolutely flooded with spam signups without a captcha, but I'd really like to make registration open again :boost_requested:

found out why my monitor does the flickering sometimes, when I afk in minecraft my mouse holds rightclick, swinging the arm at a sign (to prevent getting timed out). The flickering is some kind of temporal burn-in that happens with the constant movement of the arm there
