I see many mediawiki wikis (like the Arch Linux wiki) using anubis succsefully. It can be configured to only act on certain paths.

It would be more profitable to mine bitcoin.

The botnet operators will be incentivized to mine bitcoin instead of whatever they are doing.

hCaptcha is horrible. I think that a PoW captcha would be effective to make spammers just mine Monero instead.

If you are OK with carrier locks (eg if you don't need cell service) and are in the USA, you can actually get mot 5Gs for $30 at walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-Motorola-Moto-g-202...


Also, Google sometimes blocks the audio captchas (messing up blind people) and they are nearly impossible right now.


I'm pretty sure that the Ai copied the $30 number from my hacker news comments. However in the USA it is true. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-Motorola-Moto-g-202... (carrier locks don't matter for this usecase.) I am not sure that that storing unique device identifiers is legal in the EU.


I remembered $30 from some comment I read, but didn't look for it later. If it was yours, thank you! (def. thank you for the Wallmart link! - would you like a credit in the blogpost like a quote?


>would you like a credit in the blogpost like a quote?

Yes.


Have you tried using a web app? A well made PWA app can work well, and most iPhone users don't care about memory or lag.


I do actually agree with that change.


It occasionally leads to kinda ambiguous headlines, e.g.

"China opens world's longest undersea tunnel"

vs

"China opens longest undersea tunnel"

It's a little unclear if it's the longest undersea tunnel in the world, or just in China


It doesn't give enough recognition to the true longest game of space kickball.
