CLOUD: I fail the cloudflare robot test

Wednesday, February 19, 2025

Here’s an odd bug that no one seems interested in: 

Using opera air when I go to signon I fail the cloudflare robot test. Argh! I’m not a robot. When I click on the cloudflare link it knows I’m not a robot. Suggestions?

Sorry to hear you are having troubles! Unfortunately, we have no control over what Cloudflare returns in these challenges. If you have any add ons or extensions enabled, you could try disabling these in case they are interfering with the validation.

Another option would be to use the login link option from the login page. This will email you a link that will log you in to your account automatically.

Of course, CLOUDFLARE has no end User support.  Interesting that I’ve never seen that happen before.

YMMV.

INTERESTING: “America’s Checkbook” is an interesting idea, but may not satisfy a “deep dive”

 Make the DOGE revolution stick: Let Musk and taxpayers reveal what’s really in America’s checkbook

By John Hart 

Published Feb. 11, 2025, 6:29 p.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A federal judge’s decision to bar Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from reviewing the Treasury Department’s payment system is most likely a temporary setback — but it illustrates the urgent need to secure a permanent win for transparency.

Progressives are panicking because their 100-year, largely successful assault on American constitutional government is in danger of being reversed.

Thanks to Musk’s wise plan to follow the money, he has a historic opportunity to mount a coup — not on behalf of himself or President Trump, but for We the People.

*** and ***

Crowd-sourcing oversight will shift the balance of power away from the bureaucracy and back to individuals.   

“America’s Checkbook” will give citizens a megaphone and silence critics.

It will prove our leaders’ confidence in the wisdom of We the People, our system of checks and balances and the genius of America’s founders.

John Hart is the chief executive officer of Open the Books and the former communications director for US Sen. Tom Coburn.

Not sure how that could possibly work but I like the idea.

But I’m a like foggy on the usefulness of:

“Check #, Payee Joe Blow, Amount 1B$”

But it should give investigative journalists a lead.  (If there are any such left? Other than Sharyl Attkisson and James O’Keefe.
