@morgan@cathode.church the video on the website makes it look 1000x cooler than reality lol

@morgan@cathode.church tbh so far it's been rather underwhelming, (probably in part because I haven't set it up so nicely as my kicad yet)

and free student license ftw

@morgan@cathode.church freelance work, collaborating with other Altium users

wrote a nixos package for gitea-registration-proxy, service module comes next after dinner

interesting btw that most of these gitea spam signups come from tor exit nodes (no, i'm not going to do any blocking)

now let's try writing a nixos package/module for it?

@forestjohnson @starless code is now on git.pixie.town/f0x/gitea-regis, should be easy to tweak :)

biggest downside is with just a custom template you can't really get feedback in the html, hence also why a failed haiku sends you to a very bare page

@forestjohnson @starless the majority doesn't do anything, but quite a lot of them also create profiles, repos and organizations with various spam messages

I think they're real users because my simple hidden form technique didn't stop them at all. Could also just be more sophisticated botting tho

@elfi it's not even virtualized here! this is legit windows on a legit normal install

ah there's a different page for an identical looking product but it has a win10 version and a very reasonable (ahum) 190Mb download, let's try that!

lol bluetooth unusable under linux? always just worked for me

windows now tho? no luck! "driver error"

@starless @forestjohnson oh yeah, I remember that!
Sadly it seems these are people manually creating spam accounts, so none of these solutions really work, short of doing approval based signups :|
