Tl;dr: Impossible to create a new github account.

Long version: This morning I noticed my WG tunnel was not working anymore. After some troubleshooting, I noticed it was the new android app which was the problem. So I wanted to report it. Like many other (FOSS) projects, it goes… through Github. sigh OK, since my older account has been flagged (aka Shadow banned) because I use an email alias, I need a new account. So I had to complete many weird captchas.

Well after all (see post image), registering is not possible. :D I followed Github troubleshooting steps, I realized the issue is with arkoselabs, one of their captcha supplier. Somehow it does not load, even with a clean new firefox (listed as supported browser) install without extension. But no problem since arkoselabs support was so helpful…

sigh… So I decided to give a try opening a ticket with my existing flagged account. Guess what? Yeah you’re right. Not working either.

I have conflicted feelings because I’m happy to be kept away from a Microsoft product but I want to help a cool project by reporting an issue. All in all, it’s quite funny I think.
