Anubis rarely ever annoys me (I still prefer it over cloudflare's Mitm) but this specific visit feels almost vindictive. It used half my CPU cores at full blast for three straight minutes.

It seems to be effective since I can't really "bypass" it with extensions, so AI crawlers probably can't either, but damn there really should be an option to complete a manual captcha or email the administrators to complain.

As I'm typing this the challenge is still running xD

I wish it were doing protein folding work or something less wasteful.

I wonder if that could be a thing

FoldCoin

put crypto nonsense to work and maybe help fund research

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 3 points 26 minutes ago

That exists already, actually: GridCoin

Unfortunately yeah, people with exceptionally shit computers get caught in the cross-fire of these things

Wait, I'm not mining crypto trash for strangers whenever I see that annoying fox girl, am I?

crypto* as in cryptography, not *currency

Proof-of-work in approach, not towards the same ends. The goal is to prevent scraping, not monetization.

Reworded it instead, but thanks for the correction.

Same process, different product.

I've had Anubis get stuck for me before. Usually clears up if you refresh the page

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 12 points 1 hour ago

Maybe that's part of the challenge, lol.

You could try hitting up the Internet archive for a quick workaround.

I think you can also download a copy of the entire arch wiki as a zim file too
