Captcha added to the comments

In
1–2 minutes

I previously enabled comments again on this blog, and it seems to have attracted the attention of bots trying to sell drugs through the comment section.

As a result, I ended up implementing FriendlyCaptcha, a small Open-Source PoW (Proof-of-Work) captcha solution made in Germany.

Fear not for your data, it is using a self-hosted instance as well, and ActivityPub is exempt from this restriction.

Next on the list is modifying the captcha itself to include all creatures, and not just humans.
