Anubis rarely ever annoys me (I still prefer it over cloudflare's Mitm) but this specific visit feels almost vindictive. It used half my CPU cores at full blast for three straight minutes.
It seems to be effective since I can't really "bypass" it with extensions, so AI crawlers probably can't either, but damn there really should be an option to complete a manual captcha or email the administrators to complain.
As I'm typing this the challenge is still running xD
I wish it were doing protein folding work or something less wasteful.
I wonder if that could be a thing
FoldCoin
put crypto nonsense to work and maybe help fund research
My concern like everything open-source is a single person deciding to profit off of it.
Banano is also one. But this one is more of a memecoin.
Unfortunately yeah, people with exceptionally shit computers get caught in the cross-fire of these things
I've had Anubis get stuck for me before. Usually clears up if you refresh the page
Maybe that's part of the challenge, lol.
Think of it like tipping culture. Get mad at AI industry scrapers that make anubis necessary. Sam Altman is the reason you are enduring this. Take a lighter and...
Instructions unclear: tipped my servers, now all offline?
A word of advice: download Arch wiki for offline use.
You can use Kiwix to have a full graphical wiki, or use things like arch-wiki-docs.
I wish AI scrapes didn't make the Internet unusable to the point of them using Cloudflare MITM or Anubis
My country's public TV stopped offering subtitle downloads for shows that can't be streamed online
(The transcript was always easily available with second-accurate timing by clicking the ㏄ button next to any subtitled program, whether or not it was available for streaming (usually indefinitely for old ČT production, 14 days for old movies and recent ČT production, never for new movies or shows). One person used this transcript of a documentary on nutria breeding verbatim (no edits except stage instructions and punctuation) to create a somewhat dadaist sci-fi musical featuring intellligent alien beings that happen to be called Nutria. And the frame-accurate, albeit Teletext-restricted (Czech+Slovak+German uppercase/lowercase alphabet only, 38x2, 1 subtitle/s, 7 colors) subtitles were also available by applying a simple Regex to the show page's URL. Now a unique subtitle URL is generated only when the server and JavaScript + WideVine player complete a handshake.)
Wait, I'm not mining crypto trash for strangers whenever I see that annoying fox girl, am I?
crypto* as in cryptography, not *currency
Proof-of-work in approach, not towards the same ends. The goal is to prevent scraping, not monetization.
Same process, different product.
Honestly better than running into cloudfail every 5mins
Difficulty 6 is a little high. The default is 4.
The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable
So uh anyone anyone gonna tell them the idea was wrong? Three minutes is not ignorable.
The difficulty is typically dynamic based on current request load. At this difficulty typically means their server is getting hammered really hard, better this than the server just respond with a bad gateway error.
You could try hitting up the Internet archive for a quick workaround.
I think you can also download a copy of the entire arch wiki as a zim file too
You are supposed to have a local copy:
Wild that I thought a difficulty of 4 was reasonable when I set up Anubis on my reverse proxy.
I wonder if this even is effective. If a bot can solve anubis challenges, why can't it solve all difficulties?
The point is to make scraping too expensive to be profitable. Even the easy level 4 anubis challenge multiplied by a few million pages becomes very expensive.
I'm a server asking with it.
I went from thousands of requests per minute down to 5. Five. Database was pegged constantly at 100% serving requests down to ~50% now. Huge difference.
I've had websites like Nix Hydra randomly give me a webpage full of gibberish which is also annoying and a lot moreso than the Anibus ones because you can't get past it, I thought they got hacked at first also
Also this instance; can't browse it on Desktop with a Librewolf-alike policies.json. Can the sensibility be adjusted server-side? No problems on Archwiki & co.
yeah this shit takes so much longer on old hardware and nobody gives a fuck
I've actually wanted to deploy this with some absurdly difficult challenge as a troll but I don't know what's worth putting behind a webpage with effectively a client side loading bar lol.
Find some relevant XKCD, and drop that on a 404 page
You did say you want to troll people
