I don't mind the second it takes. Better than the service going down because of AI bots.

MODERATORS
Actually the opposite for me - I love to see her for a second, brightens the day a bit, fights the evil megacorps.
-AAAnubis-chan
Or cloudflare. Fuck cloudflare.
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.
The code is MIT licensed, what's preventing you from just removing the logo/changing it with something else....
Nothing but them respectfully asking not to do this, pointing out that they will help you do it if you pay a contribution.
I love how toxic she is to corporate professionalism.
in what way?
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.
Oh I See. Fuck that sterile corpo professional shit.
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...
Take this over cloudflare any day of the week
Still better than this
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.
Much better than cludflare and Google recapha
Thank god we have anubis
Which god? Anubis.
Im a narcissist. Im god
Her face is the response to years of enshittification; without her, the modern browsing experience would suck much harder. Glory to Anubis!
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!
Cloudflare is great compared to Recaptcha.
Anubis is the best by far.
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.
That's just protection by obscurity then. Any targeted attack could do that challenge at zero cost.
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 kinna like it
