Please consider some general solution (if there is one) because the
problem will only get worse.

Hello,
For information, there's this script: https://corz.org/server/tools/anti-hammer/?. After, it's just a start, against such attacks. As this script is open-source, it can evolve according to your needs (this script need to be installed, either via a `php_value auto_prepend_file command "/home/etc.../anti-hammer.php"` in the Apache server's .htaccess settings, or in the first line of the?Php source code inside the `bootstrap.php` file).
This script limits @IP's consumption of resources, per each @IP. When one @IP hammers too much, the said @IP is warned that it's abusing CPU consumption, and then,?the said @IP is? automatically banned for 12h ,or 24, or ... hours (Cf. config). The @IPs are logged, too: so, it's possible to insert them manually in a `deny from @IP` inside the .htaccess.
Regards.

I'd rather have something under our own control.
I have had bad experiences with cloudflare, it even locked me out of gitlab
at some point - exactly with the 'are you a human' question. I had to file a
bugreport.

I cannot but agree with you. Whenever for my websites I tried to use
something providing more than a bare bone website? I got more troubles
than advantages. However different providers offer some extra features.
The one I'm currently using includes a DDos protection which you may
enable or disable from a configuration page. Unfortunately it's based on
Italy and Spain only, to my knowledge.

Having a php solution is worse than someone hamming the server. Last week someone was looking for server vurnabilities, firing 300 connections per second. The server could handle that, it was just a bit slower (that's what triggered me). Sending those requests to PHP, would kill the server immediately.

I hate that service. On several sites I've upteen times been clicking all busses, cycles, firehouses, etc. To find out that no the resource you want to access is not available to you.
Besides that, it is yet another company tracking your browse behavior.
I won't spend any cent on them

You probably triggered some anti bot pattern. Did you get a 'cookies are required' message?

Subject: [Lazarus] Access JPEG metadata
Message-ID: <CAFyG-Fvut77wUksscdsW0Aeo0f5c6Eb10o5ycD3VPRC6SVnWbg@mail.gmail.com>
Hello everyone!
I need to write a program to access metadata from JPEG or JPG files.
I asked chatGPT for help and the explanations refer to a unit that is not
found.
Then he tried to make me add a package that was also not found where it was
indicated.
So after trying it myself, I conclude that I can't understand how to access
the aforementioned metadata.
After these explanations, I respectfully ask if it would be possible for
you to teach me the path I need to follow to access it.
Greetings from Sao Paulo - Brazil
Ar? Ricardo

I made some code to do this 8 years ago but I don't remember all the
details.
https://github.com/jsuzineau/pascal_o_r_mapping/blob/master/pascal_o_r_mapping/2_Units/uDimensions_from_pasjpeg.pas
Apparently from my comments I was inspired by the source code of
TFPReaderJPEG.InternalRead in the FPReadJPEG.pas unit of FreePascal:

Try BGRABitmap.
I'm using BGRABitmap version 9.5 to show PNG images.

Message-ID: <CAJvBmOaygjK0_dDti30iNS0e9FdQ8Tps4no9Fbx+ZLFprVot-Q@mail.gmail.com>
Hello,
I'm currently unable to fetch packages using the IDE (without setting up
OpenSSL on Windows) because it seems the server runing
packages.lazarus-ide.org is not accepting HTTP requests (connections on
port 80).
Is this a temporary situation or a definitive change?
On a related note, are there any plans to have the installer optionally set
up/package OpenSSL? Are patches welcome?
Best regards,
Fl?vio

AFAIK there isn't anything changed in requiring ssl. If it worked in the past, it should be working now too

May I know what it is? Still tons of KI bots trying to scrape the forum or
something else? And any estimate when the forum might become operational
again?

Yes some openai bot user was thinking that it is a good plan to scrape
the forum from a complete /24 block.
I was away last night so I couldn't fix it earlier. The forum should be
accessible again.
Where most search bots honor our crawl settings, ai bots do what they
like and bring sites down. This bot has no access anymore

Yes,
the server ran out of memory. A process to block IP ranges took longer
than the interval it is run.
Currently there are 10-20 addresses blocked per second.
Anyway server should be up.

It's very difficult. The examples don't compile. Units are missing and it's
not explained anywhere how and where to get them. I don't understand why
people do this. They publish examples that don't compile. If they ever
compile, will they work?
This almost seems like a bad joke.

Missing unit is fp*Metadata? it is located in the same dir:
https://sourceforge.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/HEAD/tree/components/fpexif/
Did you copy all units from there to your project?

Not everything that you don't do correctly is a bad joke...
* Download the snapshot from the sourceforge link that I gave you
* Unzip the downloaded file into some directory
* In the IDE, go to "Package" > "Open Package File (*.lpk)". Navigate
into the directory with the unzipped download. Open the lpk file,
fpexif_pkg.lpk. That's all - the IDE now knows where it finds this
package and all its units. If you want you can click "Compile" to
see whether all package units compile correctly (they should...).
* Now all the sample project coming with the download should work.
* If you write a new project needing one of the fpexif units you must
add the fpexif package to the requirements of the project: "Project"
> "Project Inspector" > "Add" > "New Requirement" > Select
"fpexif_pk" from the package list in the "New requirement" dialog >
"OK". Then you can add the fpexif unit(s) to the uses clauses.
* When you add fpexif to the project requirements then there is no
need to copy any fpexif files into your project directory. (Of
course you can, but then you must copy everything needed, and, if
you put it into a subdirectory, you must add that to the unit path
of the project, too)

I forgot to mention (before you see yet another bad joke): my
description is correct for runtime packages only (fpexif_pkg.lpk is one
of them). Before you'll be able to use packages of the other type,
designtime package, you must *install* the package into the IDE by
clicking on "Use" > "Install" in the package editor.
Maybe you should read more about packages in
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Packages

Hello,
Yesterday, we discovered that recently the compilation of the lazwiki package was broken.
Specifically, in unit wiki2xhtmlconvert, the routine CompareStrListUTF8LowerCase is used,
but this routine no longer exists.
We de-installed lazwiki package, and then everything compiles.
Maybe someone who knows what the code is about should look at this ?
The units' heading says it was created by a certain German gardener.
So it looks like the garden needs some tending to... ;-)
Michael.

Subject: [Lazarus] Lazarus Release Candidate 3 of 4.0
Message-ID: <ee39b47f-ae06-4664-bd63-45b2daa906b8@netcologne.de>
The Lazarus team is glad to announce the third release candidate of
Lazarus 4.0.
This release was built with FPC 3.2.2.
Here is the list of changes for Lazarus and Free Pascal:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_4.0_release_notes
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.2.2
Here is the list of fixes for Lazarus 4.x:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/commits/fixes_4/
The release is available for download on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/
Choose your CPU, OS, distro and then the "Lazarus 4.0RC3" directory.
Checksums for the SourceForge files:
https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=checksums#4_0RC3
Minimum requirements:
Windows:
2k, 32 or 64bit, Qt, Qt5, Qt6 (64bit only)
FreeBSD/Linux:
gtk 2.24 for gtk2, qt4.5 for qt, qt5.6 for qt5, Qt6.2 for qt6, 32 or
64bit.
Mac OS X:
Cocoa (64bit) 10.12, Carbon (32bit) 10.5 to 10.14, Qt and Qt5 (32 or
64bit), Qt6 (64bit only).
The gitlab page:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/tree/lazarus_4_0RC3
For people who are blocked by SF, the Lazarus releases from SourceForge
are mirrored at:
https://download.lazarus-ide.org/
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/releases/
== Why should everybody (including you) test the release candidate? ==
In the past weeks the Lazarus team has stabilized the 4.0 fixes branch.
The resulting 4.0RC3 is now stable enough to be used by any one for
test purposes.
While we have tested those ourselves, there may still be problems
that only occur with very specific configurations or one project in a
million.
Yes, it may be that you are the only person with a project, that will
not work in the new IDE. So if you do not test, we can not fix it.
Please do not wait for the final release, in order to test. It may be
too late. Once the release is out we will have to be more selective
about which fixes can be merged for further 4.x releases. So it may be,
that we can not merge the fix you require. And then you will miss out
on all the new features.
== How to test ==
Download and install the 4.0 RC3.
- On Windows you can install as a 2ndary install, that will not affect
your current install:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Multiple_Lazarus#Installation_of_multiple_Lazarus
- On other platforms, if you install to a new location you need to use
--primary-config-path
In either case you should make backups. (including your primary config)
Open your project in your current Lazarus, and use "Publish
Project" from the project menu. This creates a clean copy of your
project.
You can then open that copy in the 4.0RC3. Please test:
- If you can edit forms in the designer
- rename components / change properties in Object inspector / Add
new events
- Add components to form / Move components on form
- Frames, if you use them
- If you can navigate the source code (e.g. jump to implementation)
- Auto completion in source code
- Compile, debug and run
- Anything else you use in your daily work
