Clicking the button doesn't proof that you are a human. All the checks happen way before you even click the button (or sometimes even before visiting the website). Google also offers a similar button for their users and since cloudflare is also used on almost any website, they have a lot of data about you. They check your cookies, browser agent, device, settings, your IP address, if you use a VPN or proxy, etc. If you visited other cloudflare websites in the past with the same device or IP, and so on. So they know you and your device way before you even click the button. This is also the reason why you sometimes see a robot arm (made of Lego) clicking the button, and is still recognized as human. But as soon as you use a different IP address or a VPN (or even use a shared IP address, like in your company's network) you have to solve CAPTCHAs. Of course they also check mouse movement, but this is only one part of many checks.

Try using the IP address instead of the NETBIOS name, it's usually more reliable that way. Also the error you are getting is because the /mn folder needs to be created beforehand (the mount command doesn't create the mount point for you). Also make sure you have the cifs package installed for your distro. Hope this helps :)

You can setup Apache Guacamole on your server. It uses Websockets by default, but it also has an automatic fallback to plain http/https. It will be ultra slow, but at least it will be working. It will behave like any other website, so no security risks for your company if they already have a proxy server to monitor your Internet traffic.

It's not in the filter or view settings, it's actually in the "Account Preferences". There you should find an option to "show read posts" (or in your case hide read posts). Hope this helps :)

Cool, didn't know that :) I was only using Boost so far.

Do you mean the individual upvotes or downvotes, or the current score of the post? For me I can see the current number of upvotes just fine in the app (top right corner of the comment).

If you want to see the individual upvotes and downvotes, I think this is not possible, but not because of Boost. I think this is a limitation of Lemmy. So in this case you would have to request the feature in the Lemmy development channel :)

It's using the current user "root" as a login user for the share. You can specify a different share user using following command:

mkdir /mnt/cifs
mount -t cifs //server-name/share-name /mnt/cifs -o username=shareuser,password=sharepassword,domain=nixcraft
mount -t cifs //192.168.101.100/sales /mnt/cifs -o username=shareuser,password=sharepassword,domain=nixcraft

Try specifying a user that does exist on your Windows machine. Not quite sure if it will work without a password, but you can try.

Some proxies block Websocket Connections by default for unknown URLs, even for port 443. Don't ask me how I know :D
