I wish it were doing protein folding work or something less wasteful.

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

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

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...

Difficulty 6 is a little high. The default is 4.

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

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.

Wait, I'm not mining crypto trash for strangers whenever I see that annoying fox girl, am I?

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.

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

I wonder if this even is effective. If a bot can solve anubis challenges, why can't it solve all difficulties?

Wild that I thought a difficulty of 4 was reasonable when I set up Anubis on my reverse proxy.

the most I'm giving any site is 6 seconds on a typical visit, 10 if I'm feeling generous. if I'm not seeing shit at 10 your site is broken

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.

Good to see it's not just me. I kept receiving heat (pun intended) whenever I criticized these "Proof-of-work anti-bot solutions", now I finally know I'm not alone.Like an unskippable Youtube ad, we're supposed to sit three minutes while these "solutions" dangerously burn our CPU regardless of whether it's an old CPU, and (!!!). At least Youtube ads don't (usually) burn the CPU the same way.And, no, it's nowhere close to being infuriating to the supposedly intended targets of Anubis. OpenAI and the alike are likely laughing of Xe Iaso while they all burn more coal and increase the hyperscale data centers, with Anubis being just a pesky, insignificant pebble inside businessmen shoes. Meanwhile, we, the human users caught in this crossfire, including me with my poor decade-old Acer ES1-572 laptop, we can't afford a new machine should Anubis, Cloudflare and other similar "anti-bot solutions" end up "weighting" our CPU too much it finally makes its way to the underworld with no one being legally liable for the physical damages caused by such algorithms.If only Anubis, supposedly "different" from Cloudflare's corporate nature, had a "Proceed or Leave" button or checkbox to start the "weighting your heart" thing, I wouldn't be complaining or actively websites using "PoW anti-bot solutions" (I made myself a Firemonkey userscript to speedrun a window.close() for pages whose title is one of the "Just a moment..." or "Making sure you're not a bot!", because neither Xe Iaso nor Matthew Prince nor the webmasters using their "PoW anti-bot solutions" would buy me a new laptop if mine eventually died from facing heavy cryptographic computing while my CPU was already struggling with a Blender rendering process in the background). But, no, it's no different than the corporate they swear to be fighting against ("something something one who fights with monsters should be careful lest they thereby become a monster themselves")... !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Every time I watch Youtuße through Invidious and I get this crap, it gets stuck every time and goes nowhere.
