# Version 8 changelog (+ some other news!)
|
||||
|
||||
Hello my fellow cock suckers, thanks for reading my new entry of my shitty blog type thing.
|
||||
|
||||
## New shit added for version 8
|
||||
|
||||
1. Soundcloud no longer requires a token in the configuration
|
||||
2. Added qwant scraper (web, images, videos, news)
|
||||
3. Marginalia scraper now scrapes the HTML instead, which gives us sublinks in search results. You can still configure it to use the API in the config.
|
||||
4. Fixed a bug where image proxy would fail if content-type was octet-stream or some shit like that
|
||||
5. Fixed file proxy filename being wrong sometimes
|
||||
6. Fixed bug where "search on another instance" button would return broken URI parameters when javascript was turned on
|
||||
7. Removed ping in instances because it was always wrong and cant be fixed
|
||||
8. Fixed some wording in the about page
|
||||
9. Made &npt tokens shorter by upgrading the encryption to using the libsodium library
|
||||
|
||||
# In other news...
|
||||
|
||||
I could talk about the scrapers I want to add soon, but that won't happen for a while, so it's stupid to talk about it now. I'll keep it a surprise... Instead, I want to talk about money.

## Money?
|
||||
|
||||
So, people have been asking me for a long time for a way to bypass the captcha, and although most of you love the fumos, it's starting to get old. I'm myself pretty tired of solving these... So to fix this, I want to introduce a subscription service that lets you bypass the captcha. I'm thinking about:
|
||||
|
||||
1. 200 requests/day
|
||||
2. API access
|
||||
3. No captchas (duh)
|
||||
4. No account needed, just specify a token in the settings page
|
||||
5. Use Paypal, Stripe or Monero (?? still unsure about Stripe)
|
||||
5. 4$/30 days access
|
||||
|
||||
It's way cheaper than whatever Kagi's charging for, and unlike Kagi, 4get would actually be profitable (because yeah, Kagi isn't making money!). I want to emphasize on the fact that I **don't** want to introduce any other money making schemes, like tracking or ads. That's just plain retarded. It's also really important to me that I keep letting users search for shit even if they don't give me anything in return.
|
||||
|
||||
Most importantly, I want to compensate my ko-fi supporters for supporting me early on by giving them a few months of service free of charge.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason for these changes are quite simple: You guys are very numerous to use 4get.ca. At around 5-6pm, solve a captcha, and head to the settings. The number at the beginning of your `pass` token indicates how many captchas were solved that day. That number is usually between 850 and 900! To keep myself unblocked from search engines, I had to buy a bunch of residential proxies and this shit is getting quite expensive. At the moment, the websites costs around 40-50$ a month to host, depending of proxy bandwidth usage. My dead end job at the grocery store can't really supply long-term to the expanding needs of the site, so this is where I need your help.
|
||||
|
||||
What do you guys think? Are you excited about these news, or are you telling yourself "this is the beginning of the end for 4get?". I was thinking about calling it 4get fish. No reason, it's just a funny name. Even if you disagree with the idea, fucking tell me right now by either opening an issue on here or by emailing me. I really don't want this update to be looked down upon...
