The open secret: the CAPTCHA wasn’t actually being checked against Google’s servers; any answer was accepted as correct – until yesterday, when someone armed with this knowledge launched an AI crawler. Now it’s being checked, so you’ll have to solve it.

It's likely that the cloud server changed ownership, and the old IP address remains somewhere in the DNS records. Similar cases with different websites are probably numerous.

That's one of the main reasons why I use NixOS (for Windows non-FOSS apps too): the apps have no permissions to self-upgrade, only root can do that.
Mobile is more difficult, the easiest way: buy a Huawei without Google services

Archive.is started in 2012, just after retirement, why these do not match?

Apparently because it runs NSA software (Apache Accumulo) that is hardly used by anyone else

It took time to realize what "big C" could refer besides the obvious "Comsomol".
Structurally the same, though :)

I don't think the "the proper solution" is possible in 2023, and it's not a matter of the size of the money pile.
Google and Facebook were examples of "the proper solutions".
The former is currently inaccessible from China, the latter from Russia.
Their "abuse prevention techniques" have failed.
Sacrificing only Cloudflare DNS users is a much lesser evil compared to outcome of "the proper solutions".

EDNS absence does affect cheap DNS-based CDNs and has to effect on expensive AnyCast CDNs (one of them is CloudFlare CDN).

They have own Autonomous Systems with own anycast IP addresses.
It is quite expensive for an indie project. Not to mention legal support for compliance in every country of presence. To block 0.x% of visitors coming from CloudFlare is much cheaper for a small project than to go this road.

"You ask me for an IP address, but you don't ask me with respect".
Respect is optional too. But it is important.

> The CEO of an org like CF has way better things to do with his company-time than shill on HN. Plus, if you took 2 minutes to look at eastdakota's comment history
If we took 2 minute to look at eastdakota's comment history (put aside its authenticity), we can see that he has no better things to do than to flame with us in this branch hidden by mods from the rest of the world besides us three (how this topic seen by others: http://archive.is/1VgPM)
