Merge branch 'js/windows-arm64': The Unwelcome Guest in Our Digital Realm

You are seeing this message because the administrator of this website has taken measures to protect their server from the scourge of AI companies scraping websites with reckless abandon. This is not a trivial issue, as it can lead to downtime that makes resources inaccessible to everyone. To mitigate this problem, Anubis has been set up to safeguard the server.

Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme reminiscent of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme aimed at reducing email spam. On an individual level, the added load is negligible, but when mass scrapers come into play, it becomes a significant burden that makes scraping much more expensive. The underlying purpose of Anubis is to serve as a "good enough" placeholder solution, allowing more time to be invested in fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers – such as those using font rendering methods – to make the challenge-proof-of-work page inaccessible to users who are likely to be legitimate.

However, there's a catch. Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. To navigate this hurdle, you must either disable JShelter or other similar plugins for this domain. Unfortunately, to bypass the challenge, you'll need to enable JavaScript. This is necessary because AI companies have rewritten the social contract around website hosting, rendering a no-JS solution still in development.

This situation highlights the evolving landscape of digital security and the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between website administrators and AI scrapers. While Anubis might seem like an inconvenience to users, it serves as a crucial step towards better protecting our online resources from those who would seek to exploit them.
