   I'm always running into OpenAI not logging me in on Arch/LibreWolf with the tracking protection and plugins disabled. it works on a LibreWolf on the laptop though.
   
   did someone else encounter this?

     @kaia@brotka.st not openai because i don’t use that, but i’ve noticed that some services (google, discord) will ramp up login security and very often sign me out on devices that i use less frequently or in “unusual” locations

     @kaia It gets mad when I use a vpn. Probably because openai is trying to pivot to be an ad company, hence why it was free to begin with

     @mia I see! could it be my IPv6? I just have a regular DSL here with IPv6 and IPv4 and the IPv6 is getting blocked by Cloudflare I think for whatever reason. should I try to disable IPv6?

     @kaia@brotka.st worth a shot? or configure your system to try ipv4 first; not sure if browsers will respect that in all cases though

     @mia quick unrelated question: do you still use your scanproc as it is in your repo? I need to scan more stuff again and will look into it again :mukiLook:

     @kaia don't have this, but I use a Webapp-wrapper for GPT to control telemetry and ever sice last week I get the mouse-labyrinth-captcha on every request sent. I get needing to protect against abuse of the free plan, but with there already being an account requirement, this just seems like trying to bring down demand by bullying users.

     @Nicro yeah, on the web interface it's not that bad, but the captchas come up every now and then. subjectively on Linux more than on Windows. I can't recall the last one on MS Edge I've seen.

     the OpenAI login issue was caused by my system time. due to dual booting, my Linux time was 2h ahead. I switched on NTP and could login now! :happycat:

     @kaia That makes sense, it probably uses an HMAC (a way to sign requests, which incorporates a timestamp so it can lock down the request validity duration, and to prevent replays.) I used them at my old job because they greatly increase security and my boss got so irritated because of support requests where the user's clock was off "nobody else's application does this!"

     @kaia I recall you can configure wind*ws to set the hardware clock to UTC.

     @Moon makes sense.
     
     I'm a bit torn about them not telling me the time was wrong. on the one hand noobish users like me cannot tell why it does not work. on the other attackers via VPN and whatnot have a more difficult time to login.

     @kaia@brotka.st not in a million years would i have thought of that (even though i’ve used kerberos before where clock sync is strictly necessary)

     @kaia yeah that is annoying. I should probably have done that for my application too instead of us just being annoyed at "stupid" users

     apparently it's this. I was recommended to use LibreWolf as safest browser, but I have no idea whether it's worth it or whether it works.

     @kaia odd, I can't see how a 2 hour offset would invalidate a login. Do they timestamp the tokens that strictly? Good to know either way.

     @mia one additional question if I may, because I forgot:
     what's the best file format and size for your scanproc? I see there's JPG, PNG and TIF in the script :mukiLook:
     
     is it okay to use 600DPI? I see that as well in there.
