G-WAN Captcha Decode

G-WAN is a new free web server. They seem to be very proud of it, or at least just want to make a lot of money. Well anyway, in almost every sentence they write, they claim that they are 20% cooler than anything else. It feels a bit arrogant. I have to admit, I don't know a lot about web servers, so I can't speak to how good they are.

However, then I saw their Captcha example. I also don't know much about machine learning algorithms, OCR, and stuff like that, but I do know how to read pixels. I also know how to compare values with python :P

demo

They say the following about their Captcha:

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs
