Unable to register on the Wiki

The sign up page says

But there is no puzzle. I disabled uBlock and my pihole, thinking that might be the problem, and tried multiple browsers, but that did not resolve the problem.

Is the puzzle check broken?

I *think* the puzzle linked to a captcha provider "solvemedia" that doesn't seem to exist anymore.

I ran into this today. I wanted to edit the Kindle 4 jailbreak page to add instructions on installing KUAL without Amazon's telemetry removing the signing keys, but couldn't register.

Turns out anonymous editing is allowed, but is gated behind the same CAPTCHA, so I can't edit the page. The page is linked a lot, so I think leaving the wiki basically uneditable like this is a bad idea. Maybe change it to use Recaptcha like the forum or somehow give people with forum accounts also a wiki account?
