I am not a robot! And why habr nginx?

Question

Nginx

1) Recently I “sounded” on the main advice from UFO - clear cookies if authorization flies. Cleaning didn't help. Every five minutes I have to prove that I'm not a robot :-( Am I the only one?
2) Error 503 has become very frequent, most often when navigating through pagination for some reason. Since nginx gives this page, the question arose, why bother with nginx on the frontend at all? There is no static here, only advertising. Or is nginx used in Habré not only as a frontend? If anyone knows, please tell me.

Answer 1

There are a lot of js, css statics ... multiply by the number of visits and you get the need to use a web server, which can distribute statics normally.

Answer 2

in order not to prove that you are not a robot, you must:
1). make sure that you receive notifications from habra in your mail (there, like you received a private message / your comment was answered) and temporarily enable it here
2). receive such notification by mail.
3). Most of the links in the notification will allow you to enter Habra without entering a password, since they contain the key.
4). by adding such a link to your bookmarks, you will be able to log in to Habré with one click on the link, without any captchas.

Answer 3

do you really think that the profit from nginx is only in the distribution of statics? balancing, right? Yes, just terminating tcp, so as not to produce thousands of Apache workers for slow clients, no? SSI? Caching? Continue?

Answer 4

It didn't help me either. Cleared cookies before advice, after - does not help.
After closing the browser, you have to log in again. At the same time, after a successful login, such a page opens each time.

If unsuccessful, it is similar, only with an error about an incorrect captcha.
No redirect happens.

Answer 5

I deleted the cookies in my browser, the saved password, then deleted the session data and cache (CCleaner) with a cleaner - it helped in the end.

Answer 6

I have such garbage current in firefock, in safari it’s normal, clearing cookies helped, the day is already normal

Well, no wonder if you wander into a 100+ page that is also not cached.
In this case, a query like select * from qa order by id desc limit 1000,10 can strain the database server a bit.
And if some other search bot at this time walks through the "distant" pages ...
