And my RSS feeds are working again. I presume that a more lenient or more specific anti-DDOS tactic has been enabled.

The ddos attack, the kernel dev ban, and the distrowatch review attack. Hmm. Nope not suspicious at all. Nothing to see here.

Back again?
But now CF has tuned the Turnstile challenge so that it actually hangs SeaMonkey with no chance to reach the human checkbox.

It is that or no forum, for now. When attacks lessen we can lift the thing again.

No problem with Firefox, Pale Moon or google-chrome with this recent CAPTCHA that started on 25 April 2025, but Waterfox will hang on the CAPTCHA window and never get to the square for a green checkmark.
This did not happen with the last CAPTCHA on MX Linux months ago...
Edit: Pale Moon was out of date but tested okay with up to date version.

We are evaluating other options that may be effective in mitigating the attack. For now the captcha is necessary to keep the Forum working .

Somehow bots doing hacking is not so fun as when hacktivists do it themselves.... skynet might not be coming for the meatbags as yet but it does seem to be coming for their communication systems.

How did it get out of date? I upgraded it in the main repos a week or two ago. Browsers should always be updated ASAP.
