<p class="lead">We are mCaptcha. 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>
|
|
<h2 id="tldr">TL;DR</h2>
|
|
<p><em>Codeberg is trying out 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>
|
|
<h2 id="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
|
|
<a href="https://batsense.net/talks/codeberg-introducing-mcaptcha/">here</a> for
|
|
slides.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="gitea-gets-mcaptcha-support">Gitea gets mCaptcha support</h2>
|
|
<p><a href="https://gusted.xyz">@Gusted</a> from Codeberg is working on integrating
|
|
mCaptcha in Gitea so that Codeberg can deploy it. Please see
|
|
<a href="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 <a href="/community">to reach out</a>.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="mcaptcha-supports-mariadb">mCaptcha supports MariaDB:</h2>
|
|
<p>Codeberg uses MariaDB. To facilitate Codeberg deployment, I implemented
|
|
support for MariaDB. <a href="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>
|
|
<h2 id="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
|
|
applications
|
|
<a href="https://forum.forgefriends.org/t/mcaptcha-nlnet-grant-application-august-2022/830/3">here</a>
|
|
and
|
|
<a href="https://forum.forgefriends.org/t/mcaptcha-nlnet-grant-application-august-2022/830/3">here</a>
|
|
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>
|
|
<h2 id="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 <a href="/docs/introduction/installing-captcha/">a
|
|
tutorial</a> to help folks install
|
|
mCaptcha on their website. The docs also gets <a href="/docs/terminology/access-token/">a
|
|
glossary</a>, which contain explanations
|
|
to mCaptcha jargon.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="new-releases-glue-libraries">New releases: glue libraries</h2>
|
|
<p><code>0.1.0-alpha-2</code> for
|
|
<a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mcaptcha/vanilla-glue">vanilla</a>,
|
|
<a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mcaptcha/react-glue">react</a> and
|
|
<a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mcaptcha/svelte-glue">svelte</a> glue
|
|
libraries were released. They now hand over widget sizing to the client
|
|
code(<a href="https://github.com/mCaptcha/glue/pull/12">associated PR</a>).</p>
