So the CloudFlare and other "prove you are human" screens that spin for a bit, don't ask for any input, then let you in... Are those doing proof of work just like #Anubis? Or something different?
Sooo I now have a Refsheet, welcome to the fandom officially I guess ^^
Meet Anuwubis, an appropriately silly name for a silly person.
Amazing art by the oh so ever talented @LumiaP2L who is – as Tina Turner would put it – Simply the Best
I just updated #Anubis for the @FreeCAD infrastructure. There's now support for challenges without requiring client-side #JavaScript, and a "success... failure!"-type bug affecting #Chromium should now be fixed. Please let me know if you run into any issues! #FreeCAD
Yeah, #FreeDesktop having to setup #Anubis & close registrations really shows how toxic certain folks are...
@gnome @BrodieOnLinux On another note, the freedesktop.org gitlab had to deploy #Anubis at their front and restrict signups due to #CyberVandalism...
@cadey a fait une présentation d'#Anubis dans les lightning talks de #BSDCan ce soir. Elle sera bientôt visible en ligne sur le site de la conférence, si vous voulez en savoir plus sur cet outil qui protège l'instance mastodon de Tetaneutral.net contre les scrapers depuis quelques mois.

Encore merci pour cet ouil !
@wyatt worse even are people who block #Tor users.
All of a sudden, the #HardenedBSD #GitLab instance is being DDoS'd by your not-so-friendly AI scrapers.
I've been resisting the urge so far, but I might just need to deploy #Anubis.
We know how hard it could be to handle the ever-increasing number of bad actors scraping your websites too well. Therefore, we decided to sponsor #Anubis¹ as a tool that helps users to block or at least slow down these bad actors.
We are currently evaluating how we could integrate Anubis or some similar solution to our stack and make it available as a uberspace command and backend.
@AMS @cadey well, #Anubis allegedly does account for #Browsers like #LynxBrowser and handles them gracefully, unless they violate thresholds to stop scrapers that fraudulently use a fake #UserAgent, and then it'll soft-ban those.
Did a quick writeup of how I use #anubis behind #haproxy in my #homelab.

Thanks to @cadey for the project. Support them!
Bane of the javascriptless:
Getting around anubis'd websites in (not just) links2.
If you enable the "Fake Firefox (improves privacy)" option in links2 (Setup - Network Options - HTTP options - Header options), links2 then pretends to be the tor browser, imitating the same headers and user-agent - this results in websites that use anubis to bully you and expecting the completion of some javascript challenge. If you do not enable this option, you can get around the annoying anime girl.
Presumably you could use the links2 user-agent in any other browser. I suppose this is true for lynx as well.
> Links (2.28; NetBSD 9.3 amd64; GNU C 7.5; text)
You can also use wget's user-agent, which currently lets you get past anubis as well.
> Wget/1.25.0
You can check what headers your browser is sending at https://wtfismyip.com/headers .
I love the #anubis anti-ai-scraper tool, but a cutesy anime girl isn't exactly what I want displayed on my phone when I'm pulling up some source code in mixed company.

@lukeshu So I guess #Anubis has an explicit exception to handle #Lynx and will instead rely on rate-limits and other static means to detect #scrapers and handle with #UserAgent #abuse cases, like #fail2ban-style autobanning of violating IPs...
I wounder if anyone has tried using Anubis on @torproject / #Tor to protect #OnionService|s since that would be a reasonable application for it as well.
