Since people are talking a lot about AI and whether an artist has used it , I've done a little video in which I state clearly that everything in the Dreams of Amarna is a All My Own Work. It may have come across a little brusque , but why in Heaven's name would I allow a computer to do the bits I enjoy?
For the record, I enjoy painting, embroidery, and writing. I don't enjoy the "bleeding in public" aspect of having written what turned out to be a very personal book about developing an artistic process, but I'm proud of what I have accomplished.

Surely it would be more likely to flag it if it was connecting from a VPN exit node.

in reply to modem_down • • •I'm telling you the one button solution for this issue that works for me. When their garbage bots don't like the IP you're using, simply use a different one.
You're not going to get any help from cloudflare, obviously. The only thing to do is work around their bullshit.

in reply to buckykat [none/use name] • • •I eventually managed to find contact details for the webmaster for the site on which I most recently encountered this. Hopefully they'll fix it in their Cloudflare configuration.
Failing that, I'll try User-Agent spoofing. Failing that, another ISP, or VPN.

in reply to modem_down • • •i haven't been having issues atm besides getting challenges more frequently than what used to be the norm.
that said, i find cloudflare, recaptcha and others easier and scarcer when using all default chrome(ium). they might not like something about your browser or what it reports to them.
i don't think they will change this behavior from user reports.

in reply to modem_down • • •They consider you a bot, if you have not typical signals from
* referer (there was a time, where even Firefox' referer trimming was a problem)
* request header
* js-fingerprint, including cookies and DOM-storage
So yeah, surveillance state of the internet.
Do you maybe have a extension/settings that interferes with those signals for increased privacy?

in reply to MonkderVierte • • •Thanks. What’s your source for that list? I think you’re right that those measurements are factors in the final “bot score”, but I expect there are many other measurements also factored in.
If you look at my OP, though, you’ll see my browser passed the checks but was still blocked, which Cloudflare said shouldn’t happen.

Ah, sorry, overlooked that.
