02:17:20 <tomman> "Vercel Security Checkpoint"
02:17:27 <tomman> oh god, another Clownflare Browser Integrity clone
02:17:46 <tomman> and of course this one REJECTS SeaMonkey after spinning for 30 seconds
02:17:54 <tomman> "Cannot verify your browser"
02:17:55 <tomman> "Code 99"
02:18:07 <tomman> https://repaircompanion.com/tools/capacitor-codes sample URL
02:18:24 <tomman> > SyntaxError: identifier starts immediately after numeric literal
02:19:04 <tomman> the offending line is: let Gd=GD&0xffffffffn
02:19:08 <tomman> ...what the hell is that
02:19:39 <tomman> ah, even "d=0xffffffffn" breaks with the same error
02:19:42 <tomman> it's that "n" at the end
02:20:50 <tomman> its.... our nemesis, BigInt
02:20:57 <tomman> WHY THAT CRAP GOT INTO THE WEB STANDARDS!?
02:21:09 <tomman> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Numbers_and_strings#bigints
02:21:36 <tomman> and why those Gestapo-like browser checkers even want BigInt!?
02:31:01 <nsITobin> tomman: gross
02:32:07 <tomman> it's like an airport demanding you to fly in in a plane no smaller than a Dreamliner just for a regional flight where a CRJ200 is more than enough
03:26:19 <nsITobin> tomman: well.. what can anyone do?
07:33:58 <grey_gandalf> i follow.. since these cloudflare checks are a nightmare. They break SeaMonkey, but they also break ArcticFox, TenFourFox et. al.
07:34:16 <grey_gandalf> part of that is justified to keep of AI scrapers though, they are extreme
07:34:38 <grey_gandalf> however, I discovered that even old to very old Safari passes those tests quickly
09:31:36 <njsg> 0708|03:21:36 <+tomman> and why those Gestapo-like browser checkers even want BigInt!? <-- because if you're not capable of AI scrapping you're a bot!
09:32:25 <njsg> what's funny is that there is one thing Anubis is doing quite well, and it's hilarious that it does work to keep AI scrapers out. I don't mean the JS check itself, I mean the first ever check of them all.
09:32:53 <njsg> it's also funny I've seen people calling CloudFlare "professional" in comparison with Anubis
09:33:07 <njsg> this is the same CloudFlare that deployed a massive self-DDoS on themselves
09:33:50 <njsg> because apparently they couldn't do fallbacks without requiring features that would only be present when the fallbacks weren't needed
09:34:12 <njsg> mistakes happen, but calling Anubis the less professional of the two, given history, is laughable.
