2023 development is funded through the <a href=https://nlnet.nl/entrust>NGI0

|
|
which caused the outage. Fixing the hard disk lead to additional
|
|
problems, the fan on that server was failing and we couldn’t get spares
|
|
sooner.</p><p>We had current backups, so there was no data loss.</p><p>Going forward, we are planning to create Infrastructure-as-Code to fully
|
|
restore all mCaptcha infrastructure, so that in the even of an outage,
|
|
we could restore our infrastructure in much shorter duration.</p><h2 id=mcaptchasurvey-now-includes-polyfill-benchmarking>mCaptcha/survey now includes polyfill benchmarking</h2><p>mCaptcha/survey runs benchmarks with mCaptcha’s PoW algorithm to collect
|
|
statistics on how mCaptcha performs on various browsers and devices. So
|
|
far, we’ve only been running benchmarks with the WebAssembly
|
|
implementation. This <a href=https://github.com/mCaptcha/survey/pull/14>pull request</a> added support for running benchmarks
|
|
with the JavaScript polyfill implementation on browsers without
|
|
WebAssembly support.</p></article><div class="docs-navigation d-flex justify-content-between"><a href=/blog/introducing-mcaptcha-net/><div class="card my-1"><div class="card-body py-2">← Introducing mCaptcha net</div></div></a><a class=ms-auto href=/blog/july-2022-monthly-report/><div class="card my-1"><div class="card-body py-2">July, 2022: Monthly Report →</div></div></a></div><p class=edit-page><a href=https://git.batsense.net/mCaptcha/website/blob/master/content/blog/02-23-monthly-report/index.md><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentcolor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="feather feather-edit-2"><path d="M17 3a2.828 2.828.0 114 4L7.5 20.5 2 22l1.5-5.5L17 3z"/></svg>Edit this page on git.batsense.net</a></p></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer text-muted"><div class=container><div class=row><div class="col-lg-8 order-last order-lg-first"><ul class=list-inline><li class=list-inline-item>Powered by <a href=https://gohugo.io/>Hugo</a>, and <a href=https://getdoks.org/>Doks</a></li></ul></div><div class="col-lg-8 order-first order-lg-last text-lg-end"><ul class=list-inline><li class=list-inline-item><a href=/about/>About</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=/donate>Donate</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=/privacy-policy/>Privacy</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=/security>Security</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://stats.uptimerobot.com/GK7VLFJnBl>Status</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=/thanks>Thanks</a></li></ul></div></div></div></footer><script src=/main.min.993b2b4c58b07e7a4bb3423cf18ccd78a85d0063680c0fc9bf6d9cc02be98e08793034d984dd8f7c60ad5b70f3186cc8bc280b1077b7e37c2d64f36f118099bb.js integrity="sha512-mTsrTFiwfnpLs0I88YzNeKhdAGNoDA/Jv22cwCvpjgh5MDTZhN2PfGCtW3DzGGzIvCgLEHe343wtZPNvEYCZuw==" crossorigin=anonymous defer></script><script src=/index.min.54509ba7c5e639f5ec4ae9409f76e99f01de45aae0c450b398bb04083016dc4213a82a49528708fd7d36c22e60debacd894f3dbdc3a30fa796132f9a541ccdab.js integrity="sha512-VFCbp8XmOfXsSulAn3bpnwHeRargxFCzmLsECDAW3EITqCpJUocI/X02wi5g3rrNiU89vcOjD6eWEy+aVBzNqw==" crossorigin=anonymous defer></script></body></html> |
