We build kickass CAPTCHA systems that give (DDoS) attackers a run for their money. And we do all of this without tracking your users. Oh and did I mention our UX is great?</p><p>Hello and welcome to the July, 2022 monthly report!</p><h2id=tldr>TL;DR</h2><p><em>Codeberg is trying you mCaptcha, Gitea is getting mCaptcha support,
mCaptcha supports MariaDB, I’ve applied for NLnet and Open Tech Fund,
documentation is updated: tutorials and glossary is added and glue libraries
have new releases.</em></p><h2id=codeberg-is-deploying-mcaptcha>Codeberg is deploying mCaptcha</h2><p>Codeberg is committed to trying out mCaptcha to make their platform more
accessible: they currently use a text-based CAPTCHA, which will be
replaced by mCaptcha. The decision was finalized after I presented
mCaptcha to them at a meeting their organized. Please see
<ahref=https://batsense.net/talks/codeberg-introducing-mcaptcha/>here</a> for
slides.</p><h2id=gitea-gets-mcaptcha-support>Gitea gets mCaptcha support</h2><p><ahref=https://gusted.xyz>@Gusted</a> from Codeberg is working on integrating
mCaptcha in Gitea so that Codeberg can deploy it. Please see
<ahref=https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/20458>here</a> for related the
pull request.</p><p>This project is yet to see usage, so we are venturing into uncharted
territory: should you face issues with either deploying or
integrating mCaptcha, please feel free <ahref=/community>to reach out</a>.</p><h2id=mcaptcha-supports-mariadb>mCaptcha supports MariaDB:</h2><p>Codeberg uses MariaDB. To facilitate Codeberg deployment, I implemented
support for MariaDB. <ahref=https://mcaptcha.org/blog/may-2022-monthly-report#refactor>The work done in
May, 2022</a> made
implementing support easy. Support for MariaDB is first class in
mCaptcha: automatic testing exist to run tests with both Postgres and
MariaDB, so I expect things to be stable.</p><h2id=applied-for-funding-nlnet-and-open-tech-fund>Applied for Funding: NLnet and Open Tech Fund</h2><p>I’ve applied for NLnet and Open Tech Fund[0], Please find the
respectively.</p><p>If funding is granted:</p><ol><li>I’ll be able to work full-time for a year at the rate of 2,000 EUR/month</li><li>We’ll have a dedicated build server</li><li>We’ll have funds to run a DDoS test to gauge mCaptcha’s effectiveness</li></ol><h2id=documentation-updates>Documentation updates</h2><p>mCaptcha docs over the months have become inconsistent and incorrect. I
cleaned up some of the mess and added <ahref=/docs/introduction/installing-captcha/>a
tutorial</a> to help folks install
mCaptcha on their website. The docs also gets <ahref=/docs/terminology/access-token/>a
glossary</a>, which contain explanations
to mCaptcha jargon.</p><h2id=new-releases-glue-libraries>New releases: glue libraries</h2><p><code>0.1.0-alpha-2</code> for
