As we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, it's essential to acknowledge the growing concern surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the online world. Recently, a new challenge has emerged in the form of Anubis, a system designed to protect servers against aggressive AI companies that scrape websites with reckless abandon.

The administrator of this website has set up Anubis as an additional layer of security, implemented in collaboration with proof-of-work schemes inspired by Hashcash. While its primary intention may seem like a "good enough" solution at the individual scale, it poses significant challenges when faced with massive scraper attacks. By making scraping more expensive and resource-intensive, Anubis aims to dissuade AI companies from engaging in such activities.

However, this system comes with its own set of limitations and requirements. In order to access certain features on our website, you will need to enable JavaScript, which is currently the only way to bypass the challenge proof-of-work page. Unfortunately, this also means that users relying on outdated plugins like JShelter may find themselves unable to navigate our site without any additional steps.

It's worth noting that Anubis is not a permanent solution and is, in fact, a work-in-progress. The growing threat of AI companies has shifted the social contract around website hosting, making it increasingly difficult for no-JS solutions to remain viable. As such, we encourage our visitors to take steps to ensure they are using modern JavaScript features to navigate our site effectively.

By understanding and acknowledging these challenges, we can work together to create a more secure online environment that balances user experience with the need for robust security measures. If you have any questions or concerns regarding Anubis or its implications, please don't hesitate to reach out.
