Maybe buy a better computer. On mine the Anubis challenge is basically a flash of milliseconds. I can’t even read what the page says.

Unfortunately in countries like Brazil and India, where a majority of humans collectively live, better computers are taxed at extremely high rates and are practically unaffordable.

Sounds like a self-inflicted issue.

I only had issues with it on GNOME's bug tracker and could work around it with a UA change, meanwhile Cloudflare challenges are often unpassable in qutebrowser no matter what I do.

I understand why ffmpeg does it. No one is expected to pay for it. Until this age of LLMs when bot traffic became dominant on the web ffmpeg site was probably acceptable expense. But they probably don't want to be unpaid data provider for big LLM operators who get to extract a few bucks from their users.

It's like airplane checkin. Are we inconvenienced? Yes. Who is there to blame? Probably not the airline or the company who provides the services. Probably people who want to fly without a ticket or bring in explosives.

As long as Anubis project and people on it don't try to play both sides and don't make the LLM situation worse (mafia racket style), I think if it works it works.

I know it's beside the point, but I think a chunk of the reason for many of the security measures in airports is because creating the appearance of security increases people's willingness to fly.

Like some sort of theater, you say?

Yes, this is where the term "security theater" comes from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_theater

I don't understand the hate when people look at a countermeasure against unethical shit and complain about it instead of being upset at the unethical shit. And it's funny when it's the other way around, like cookie banners being blamed on GDPR not on the scumminess of some web operators.

I don't understand that some people don't realize that you can be upset about status que that both sides of the equation sucks. And you can hate thing and also the countermeasure that someone deploy against. These are not mutually exclusive.

I didn't see parent be upset about both sides on this one. I don't see it implied anywhere that they even considered it.

>which was initially something I supported.

That quote is strong indication that he sees it this way.

Yup, I'm against the AI scraping. But personally for me, the equation breaks when I'm getting delays and errors when just visiting a bug tracker.

Sounds like maybe it'll be fixed soon though

Do you find no one at all being able to access the bug tracker to be preferable to "getting delays and errors" ?

Also the Anubis mascot is very cute! ;-)

I've finally found a ruleset that works for that fwiw. The newest release has that fix.

Thank you!

No problem. I wish I had found it sooner, but between doing this nights and weekends while working a full time job, trying to help my husband find a new job, navigating the byzantine nightmare that is sales to education institutions, and other things I have found out that I hate, I have not had a lot of time to actually code things. I wish I could afford to work on this full time. Government grants have not gone through because I don't have the metrics they need. Probably gonna have to piss people off to get the bare minimum of metrics that I need in order to justify why I should get those grants.
