Anubis is open source, self-hosted, doesn't block me just because I use a VPN and the later versions work even with JavaScript disabled!
Fuck Cloudflare, long live Anubis!
How exactly is a proof of work engine suppose to run, without any JS work?
https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challenges/metarefresh/
Apparently it just tells your browser to refresh after x seconds.
I much prefer to see Anubis rather than some bullshit captcha with a grid of AI generated slop that requires 30 clicks to pass.
You mean 30 clicks before it tells you to "please try again" for no reason.
"Prove that you're human by solving these machine-generated puzzles that machines can solve to give us more data to train our machines, while we run a simple script in the background to verify that you're human based on your browser's metadata."
To keep training the captcha solving AI of course
Oh is the person riding the bicycle part of the bicycle this time? What do you want, the corner of the pedal that is just barely in the box, or the out of focus blur in the background that might be a bicycle or it might be a bear. It's hard to tell.
I love how toxic she is to corporate professionalism.
Its also perfect marketing, the software is free with the mascot hardcoded in. The official way to change it is to contribute to get an enterprise version.
I love how toxic she is to corporate professionalism.
in what way?
It's just a silly anime girl showing up on first page load. If you're deathly afraid of seeming unprofessional, that's gonna do your head in...
He means that many people in a corporate environment wouldn't expect a anime girl with a magnifying glass popping up on your screen, that could reflect badly on your company. Just imagine some CEO sharing his screen in a presentation and his background is a screenshot of some hentai scene or something. It wouldn't make you seem very professional in the eye of the other corporate people.
That's why companies that use anubis will usually pay for the subscription so they can replace the mascot with something else.
Excellent idea !
Oh I See. Fuck that sterile corpo professional shit.
I don't mind the second it takes. Better than the service going down because of AI bots.
Actually the opposite for me - I love to see her for a second, brightens the day a bit, fights the evil megacorps.
Or cloudflare. Fuck cloudflare.
Can take a fair bit longer on low end devices. Don't have an issue with it beyond that
Take this over cloudflare any day of the week
I love her!!
Who is she supposed to be?
Anubis - an anti-scraping plugin for websites. I believe one of its claims to fame is placing LLM crawlers into "tar pits" (preventing them from eating website resources)
It does show up whenever you load into the site though, so I guess that makes their mascot stick in everyone's head.
Thanks for explaining! ☺️ I'd seen this before I think when going to the gnome repos and was curious what it was
No idea, never seen her before.
I'm on discuss.tchncs.de right now and its web UI lags badly probably due to a lot of bot scaping.
If we had Anubis i guess that could be avoided.
I kinna like it
Yet Anna's Archive still doesn't use it, curious.
TBF Anna's just provides a dataset for people who want it and don't directly host any of the content (they're just the index). Anubis probably isn't as necessary for them.
