Any active forum for Softbank NAO and Pepper? - forum

Softbank closed its forum for NAO and Pepper after it was abused by some misbehaved users and now I can’t find any active forum for NAO and Pepper. So want to ask if there is still any forum for NAO and Pepper exists somewhere you know of.

The following google group is the only one I know:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ros-sig-aldebaran
Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Other forums or usergroups besides stackoverflow are not known to me nor to the people from Softbank I talked to.
In June 2018 Softbank announced a new Developer Forum at
https://developer.softbankrobotics.com
Unfotunately it has never been accessible and i have no information when they plan to release it.
But it is still possible to access former posts from the old forum via direct link:
e.g.
https://community.ald.softbankrobotics.com/en/node/538
or I also like to use google to replace the not working search at the forum with a query like
"system time" site:https://community.ald.softbankrobotics.com/
to look for some former answers.

I asked the same softbanks last week. And they told me that this is the developer forum is not in use anymore. They said that we should use stack exchange and try to search by the tag pepper and nao.
It looks like there are no forum at the moment.

It's a bit late and there is not much content there yet, but I've set up a new forum aimed at robotics developers in general but also with the hope to attract previous members of the NAO developer forum: https://robohack.org.uk/

When does hCaptcha invented (introduced)?

In order to eliminate Google's reCAPTCHA, specifically on privacy issues, hCaptcha introduced an alternative solution and shortly become popular. The introduction dates for various versions of reCAPTCHA are explicitly released and one can find them. But, after many search I could not find when does hCaptcha invented or publicly introduced? I found this blog post on fast company that backs in 2019. In this article it is stated that the mother company was founded in 2017 but nothing about invention of the captcha is said.
I went deeper and find status report on the official website for hCaptcha. Surprisingly, the first entry is for 2012 and I'm almost sure in that date there was nothing named hCaptcha.
Anyone knows anything about the origin of hCaptcha?

Is there a way in Instagram's API to get the URL to a new post from a specific user? I'd like to integrate it with a Reddit bot

The Owl City subreddit (/r/OWLCITY) is running into a unique problem: Whenever Adam Young posts something new to Instagram (#owlcityofficial), there's an influx of new Reddit posts saying that Adam posted something new. I suggested (and if I can get it off the ground, hope to do so with the approval of the subreddit's moderators) to create a bot that automatically creates a new post whenever Adam posts something to Instagram, as a sort of "master thread." All discussion about the post could be had there, with all others being subject to deletion.
This appears to be easier said than done. Looking briefly at Reddit's API's this appears to be possible. But on Instagram's end, that's another story. It appears Instagram deprecated and shut down their first API last year, and I can't find any information on whether the two APIs still available support something like this. I would prefer to use the Display API, as I doubt I qualify to use the Graph API. Furthermore, I can't find any useful information on the Instagram API. Also, almost any search for what I'm trying to do shows a plethora of results of how to do it with the OLD API, and limiting the results to the last year doesn't bring up anything useful.
Is there a way to do what I want to do? Keep in mind I'm relatively new to programming, so any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Maybe use Python with Selenium to get the Channel Page and get the first entry. Compare it with and if it is newer, scrape it. No API needed, if you not want to dig to deep into API references.
Try search for Instagram Basic Display API.
Please specify what kind of programming Language you have experience.

How best to deal with ExpressionEngine registration spam?

I've got a whole load of EE sites under my belt and generally don't have much of a problem with spam. However, one site that I look after is getting bombarded by registration spam lately. It is an extremely low traffic site and was a bit neglected which meant it was running an old version of EE.
I've now updated the site to the latest EE version and gone through double checking that everything was locked down. I've even tried installing Low NoSpam but I'm still getting the attempted registrations.
My initial thoughts were that there was some security hole in this old version of EE. But since I have now updated everything I'm not so sure.
What is the best way to deal with this other than turning registrations off?
I personally find that RECAPTCHA is the best captcha system out there:
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/recaptcha
It's ADA compliant, your visitors help translate books and its probably the most popular. Snaptcha would do the trick as well, but I personally think that if you need a captcha (which I hate :)) then go with RECAPTCHA :)
Oh and it's completely FREE too!!
Have you changed the Profile Member trigger word to something other than 'member'?
I had excellent results with Snaptcha for comment spam - it works for registration spam too. Worth a look.

Convert Core DNN Forum's to YAF.NET for DNN or ActiveForums

Does anyone know of a way to convert all the forums, posts, etc. from the core DNN Forum module to the YAF.NET DNN module or Active Forums? I've searched for hours and can't find anything about how to do this other then people saying there's not a scrip to do it yet. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Active Forums has come a long way in the past few months. It has gained some much needed support in the open source world on Codeplex.
There is an upgrade script that I've personally used to migrate forum content from DNN Forum to Active Forums. There is even Tapatalk support for mobile devices.
Feel free to check it out at activeforums.codeplex.com or the activeforums.org website.

Milw0rm/Packetstorm News Bot

I am making a security forum, so I would like to know if there is some forum bot that will get the newest posts from milw0rm and packetstorm and will post them in the forum ?
One friend of mine told me that there is such thing, but after some google searches i was not able to find it. Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance.
I would go with XPath on the scraping.
If the sites you described provide some form of RSS, you could use an RSS reader that's freely available on the net to add the posts to your forum.
