Merge branch 'hy/read-cache-lock-error-fix'

You're seeing this message because the administrator of this website has taken steps to protect its server from the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites, causing downtime for all users.

This is a necessary compromise, known as Anubis, which aims to discourage mass scrapers while allowing legitimate users to access the site. The solution is based on a Proof-of-Work scheme, similar to Hashcash, designed to make the process more expensive and less appealing to malicious actors.

The idea behind Anubis is that at an individual scale, the additional load is negligible, but when used by large numbers of scrapers, it becomes prohibitive. This makes it harder for AI companies to scrape websites without incurring significant costs. In essence, Anubis serves as a "good enough" placeholder solution, allowing developers more time to focus on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers.

However, there's a catch: Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that some plugins, like JShelter, disable. This means users need to enable JavaScript to bypass the challenge proof-of-work page, which is essential for legitimate users to access the site.

"Unfortunately, this is a work-in-progress," says [Your Name], a journalist investigating website hosting trends. "AI companies have rewritten the social contract around website hosting, making it harder for websites to protect themselves without compromising user experience."

As a result, users must choose between disabling plugins like JShelter or enabling JavaScript to access the site. The decision comes down to the individual's priorities and willingness to compromise on security.

In conclusion, Anubis is a necessary measure to combat AI-driven website scraping, but it highlights the evolving nature of online threats and the need for ongoing innovation in website protection solutions.
