Merge branch 'ps/parse-options-integers': The Uninvited Guest in Your Web Browsing Experience

You're seeing this message because the administrator of this website has taken measures to protect their server from AI-powered bots that have been aggressively scraping websites. This is a common problem these days, and it's not just you – many websites are affected by this scourge.

Anubis, the brainchild behind this protective measure, uses a Proof-of-Work scheme similar to Hashcash to slow down website scraping. The idea is that while individual users may not notice a difference, mass scrapers will be significantly hindered. This adds up to make the entire process much more expensive and time-consuming.

But why would Anubis do this? The answer lies in its true purpose – it's a hack, of sorts. By implementing this solution, website administrators can buy some time to develop more sophisticated methods for fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers, such as those used by AI-powered bots. This way, the challenge proof-of-work page doesn't have to be presented to users who are likely to be legitimate visitors.

However, there's a catch – Anubis requires modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. If you're using such plugins on this website, you'll need to disable them or enable JavaScript to bypass the challenge. Unfortunately, this is a requirement due to the changing landscape of web hosting and the rise of AI-powered bots.

It's worth noting that Anubis is not a foolproof solution, but it's a good enough placeholder until more advanced measures are developed. The current no-JS solution is a work-in-progress, and website administrators will need to adapt to this new reality.

In the meantime, be sure to check your browser settings and disable any plugins that may interfere with Anubis' protection mechanism. And remember – you're not alone in this struggle; many websites are fighting against these AI-powered bots, just like you.
