The Seventeenth Batch, Just Before -rc0

In an effort to protect its server from the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites, the administrator of this website has set up Anubis, a powerful tool designed to safeguard against these malicious activities.

Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme inspired by Hashcash, a proposed solution to reduce email spam. At individual scales, the additional load is negligible, but when multiple scraping companies are involved, it becomes exponentially more expensive for them to scrape websites. This clever hack aims to provide a "good enough" placeholder solution, allowing more time to be invested in fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers, such as those used by AI-powered browsers.

However, this means that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features, which can be disabled by plugins like JShelter. If you're using a plugin like JShelter, please disable it for this domain to proceed. Unfortunately, without disabling JShelter or similar plugins, your attempts to access this website will be thwarted.

The current version of Anubis used on this server is 1.20.0. While an alternative no-JS solution is being worked on, enabling JavaScript is currently a requirement to bypass the challenge proof-of-work page. This is a necessary step due to the changing social contract around website hosting and AI companies' influence on web development.

As a compromise between security and user experience, Anubis strikes a balance between protecting against malicious scraping activities while still providing a legitimate way for users to access websites like this one. By understanding the role of Anubis in maintaining online security, we can appreciate its importance in safeguarding our online world.
