A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Because it never was about security. You're training LLMs for free.

I'm pretty sure some auto drive company is getting the advantage since a lot of captchas are spotting crosswalks, traffic lights, stairs, busses, mountains, motorcycles etc. Wonder if it's fucking tesla

I'd recon that a lot of that is spliced from pictures captured from Google Map vehicles.

Both you and @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com are correct. Google bought reCAPTCHA in 2012.

Here’s an article about it from 2018.

Captcha if you can: how you’ve been training AI for years without realising it

And another from 2019! Captchas got harder for us because the AI had learned from our training.

Why CAPTCHAs have gotten so difficult
