Why Cloudflare CAPTCHAs to even see the forum??

[/df]

As a further data point, formerly the CF challenge JS was such that recent SeaMonkey (eg) could handle it, with the usual pictures of US fire hydrants and school buses at worst. Now it needs something else: the console shows WebGL errors. Either this is introduced because of the protection level in use here, or (I expect) CF changed how the challenge(s) is/are presented.

If, as posted here, PaleMoon works, that should be a hint as to what is missing in SM.

Hi Folks:
Just a friendly mention.
The https://midnight-lizard.org/ site does say that there is 3rd party data collection with the add-on.
Thanks all.

Oh yeah. I meant to ask:

Why in the H would hackers target the site of MX, or any other good linux distribution?

Could be fanboys of other distros, or random forum user that might got pissed at us for some reason (maybe they were put in their place by our awesome mods)

Thanks for the heads-up

Just wondering: Would it help that I have a VPN running?

I use Firefox across 4 machines all with Sync enabled. I only view this forum on my phone AND one of those PCs. Thus my daily driver PC is excluded from running Midnight Lizard.

In the Firefox Setting Sync tab I unchecked 'Addons' and 'Settings'. My 'goal' with sync was to keep bookmarks up to date on all, including my phone.
