You might want to try something like Anubis on both the signup and order pages. Real users will either not be stopped, or will only hit it once, and no user interaction is required to continue, but bot users will be slowed down enough to, hopefully, disuade them from returning.
You don’t need to stop them, you just need to make the effort not be worth it compared to using a different site. Things like making sure they have a valid session cookie before they hit the payment flow, and, ideally, require them to be logged in too. That way you can block attacking accounts, and they have to go through the effort of registering a new one, which is, hopefully, well gated against automated attacks.
Don’t they just look delighted to be there?
That’s fine, so long as the limit is set to 0MPH. Anyone getting that many speeding tickets shouldn’t be driving.
Alternatively, they could have sent the security team an email with the ‘carrot’ and saying “There seems to be fundamental, systemic, security issues in Forgejo; here’s some proof. There’s too much for me to raise individual reports, what are we going to do about it?”
There’s a big difference between double checking things occasionally, and needing to look up fundamental things. I’ve been a sysadmin for, well, a long time, and there have been many occasions where I’ve been pulled in to rescue a situation and had to rely on what I knew, without being able to refer to other material, either due to intense time pressure, or enough being down that there isn’t anything to reference.
Besides, exams should be testing your core understanding of the subject, the sort of knowledge everything else is built on, and your ability to apply that knowledge in different scenarios. Practical tests, are better suited to assessing how you use novel information, do more advanced things, and handle reference material. Maybe we’re talking about the same sort of thing in different ways?
I think both closed book exams, and practical tests/discussions and the like have an important role to play in assessing your performance, whether a teacher sets them or you challenge yourself.
How many times in your job have you ever not been allowed to look something up?
It’s rare, but not unheard of, that I can’t look things up, but the point of closed book exams is is to demonstrate that you know the subject well enough that you don’t need to look things up. Obviously, exactly what this entails is going to vary depending on the level if the exam. If it’s testing foundational knowledge, then it should all be in your head, if it’s more advanced, a crib sheet with key facts (say certain more complex, but necessary, equations for a non maths subject, or similar support prompts).
If you’re working, you can’t be stopping every few minutes to look up basic information. A computer programmer who has to keep looking up the syntax of their language, or basic algorithms, for example, won’t get very far.
The thing that this person seems to have either forgotten, or not understood in the first place, is that homework, and your education in general, is not for the teacher, it’s for you. If you choose to cheat your way through you will gain less than if you actually put the work in yourself. This gets more important the further through education you go.
Probably the best outcome for an essay question is if you discuss it with your friends, all share your understanding of the subject, then write it up individually, incorporating anything new you learned from your discussions.
This does come with the issue that those who cheat could end up getting good grades if there is no ‘live’ check of their understanding, either through closed book exams, class tests, group discussions, or similar.

They lost their balance, couldn’t stop, one thing lead to another, and they crashed straight through it?
Sigh Unzip. If that’s what I’ve got to do to carve out some space, then so be it!
It mostly seems to have been a setup for certain people to make a lot of money insider trading, to distract people from the epstein files, distract people from israel’s attrocities in Gaza, and because trump is desperate to be seen as big, tough, and above all, successful, when he is none of those things.
They’re going to do a twist ending, Dallas style, mark my words! It’ll turn out that the entire season was just someone’s bad dream, and it’s all back to normal next season.
At least, they’d better…
I think California is known to cause cancer in the state of California, you can bet cinnamon is too.
The law specifies that the age flag should be attached to the user’s account, not the machine, so there is no need for anyone to attach their identity to the laptops. Likewise, in a server farm, it will be the account of the admin that’s used when they are working on them, I’d imagine you would mark daemon accounts as the lowest level, as they would not need the extra access.
To be fair, that will stop any 5g chips from affecting you.
Foil, tin or aluninium, doesn’t protect you from the deep state rays, that’s just misinfo they spread to make paranoid people easier to control. They bounce the rays off of the ground, and the foil hat actually acts as a resonant cavity, amplifying their effect. What you actually need to do is make a large ruffled collar out if foil, to deflect the rays before they rrach your head. The Elizabethans had the right idea, but the wring material.
Oddly I was thinking of Gilgamesh and Enkidu just this morning, I’ve no idea what prompted the thought.
I’m interested in your copper, but I’ll have you know that I shall be sending you a strongly worded clay tablet if the quality isn’t up to standard.
