Ask HN: Captcha Alternatives?

TLDR: I help with a gaming community-related site that is being targetted by a script kiddie, they are registering hundreds of thousands of accounts on our forums to 'protest' a cheating (aimbot) ban. They then post large ASCII art spam, giant shock images (the first one started after we blocked new accounts from posting [img]), the usual. Currently we use a simple question/answer addon at registration time - it works against all untargeted bots and is just a little "what is 4 plus six" or "what is the abbreviation for this website" type of question. It's worked fine for years and we don't really get general untargeted spam. I am somewhat ethically disinclined to use reCAPTCHA, and there are some older members that can't reasonably solve hcaptcha easily. Same for using heavy fingerprinting or other privacy invading methods. It's also donation-run, so enterprise services that would block something like this (such as Distil) are both out of budget and out of ethics. Is there a way I can possibly solve this? Negotiation is not really an option on the table, the last time one of the other volunteers responded at all we got a ~150Gbps volumetric attack. I've tried some basic things, like requiring cookie and JS support via middleware; they moved from a Java HTTP-library script to some kind of Selenium equivalent afterward. They also use a massive amount of proxies, largely compromised machines being sold for abuse.

Ask HN: How to do cross platform GUI?
21 by anang | 38 comments on Hacker News.
In essentially every discussion about desktop applications there are a lot of comments about how not to build desktop apps, but very little sharing of resources showing how to do it right. I’ve seen people defend electron, talk about core logic in a cross platform language and native gui code and any number of other options. As a middle of the road developer I think it’s difficult to find any consensus (besides electron being both simple and hated). What resources are there for building quality, functional cross platform desktop application?
