I know that I know nothing.
All of my posts are official government opinions and those of your employer.
@freetar @Inginsub @RustyCrab @gray @sally sadly it is a GNU project so it will never be production ready nor will anyone ever use it

I love when a router doesn't have logs so I cannot figure out why it refuses to connect to my wireless network as a bridge

@theorytoe @gray @mint Good point. Anubis is configurable so you can probably find a way to also block the people being malicious but at that point it's just the virus/anti-virus cheat/anticheat arms race all over again

@RustyCrab @Inginsub @gray @sally I don't think gopher is 
, if I remember my history properly the reason Gopher lost to HTTP was that the University of Minnesota wanted to charge royalties for anyone using it which they seemed to have abandoned in 2000, the original gopher daemon is GPL.

@theorytoe @gray @mint you could theoretically do that yes. None of the major scrapers actually do that though because it would then be obvious to anyone snooping the logs that someone is poorly pretending to be an ordinary browser. The point of doing the Mozilla/5.0 vestige is to pretend you are an ordinary web user when you are, in fact, not one

@waifu @gray No it's really easy you can just use the docker config the website mentions that's what I do
I'd look to see if you're being scraped first which all you have to do is check the server logs the regular AI people will add whatever company they are to their agent, the freak ones pretend to be regular browsers

@gray Yes. It like anything else has tradeoffs but I would pick an annoying page over a website not working because of resources wasted on training more AI models no one wants

@gray It's a firewall that attempts to discourage AI crawling and other assorted Denials of Service by hiding most websites behind a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge like anything behind Cloudflare or the Kiwi Farms does nowadays.
As someone whose git instance got bombarded by crawlers so hard it eventually stopped working I added it because it was less absolute than dropping an entire IPv4 /8, and ever since the AI slurping either stopped or slowed down to a level that it doesn't make the server give up on serving anything. Crawlers are super annoying especially the ones that don't respect any time, resource or crawling restraints

@gray the power of buying your competition, taking the talented audio engineers, and cutting off the rest which is what they did with Beats
