I might continue working on this as a manual approval thing, integrating it with a matrix bot

it really works super well with quadcopters, they're the only actioncamera company that makes specific cameras for them

Show thread

think i might get the insta360 go 2 for proper quadcopter videoing

so yeah, none of that hidden form field stuff is going to work

fuck...
gitea-registration-proxy Signup request: bvhrcuxqnd (cedotze@gmail.com): "please leave this empty"

they actually use a browser, maybe even doing this shit by hand

and now we wait..
there's been 2 actual spam signups again since I enabled registration this morning... so it shouldn't be long till I see some logging that isn't my testing

Show thread

lol yeah let's forward the request to the original outside gitea url, that totally won't get proxied back to us again

@schratze @bodems@chaos.social happens here too sometimes, weird firefox bug on *something* in the title text

@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 :/
