Thoughts/Opinions on Cap 🤔

The modern, open-source CAPTCHA

Lightweight, self-hosted, privacy-friendly, and designed to put you first. Switch from reCAPTCHA in minutes.

@prologic@twtxt.net never heard of it before. I wouldn’t call lightweight to anything that needs Docker to run, though. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I think that’s where it sends the capture verification requests. It’s based on PoW, so it has to perform validation somehow. It actually looks pretty decent as far as a way to prevent spam/abuse of forms on the open web (e.g: Waitlist on SnipMail).

@prologic@twtxt.net it looks made with good taste, which I appreciate. Developer’s site address is cool, https://tiago.zip. I didn’t know one could rent a ZIP TLD.

@bender@twtxt.net Makes me wonder whether somethingarather.zip is a good primary domain for the service I’m building? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net save your coins! :-D

@bender@twtxt.net It’s not even available on my registrar anyway 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net hehehe, yeah, it isn’t mine neither. Most obscure TLDs are in small registrars. I like to stick to one register (even though when Google Domains ceased to exist I was forced to have two, as Cloudflare doesn’t support the .ONE TLD).

@bender@twtxt.net Same I only have one registrar too (OnlyDomains).
