There are already sanctions (violent settlers got their asset frozen, and are forbidden to fly to many countries). Problem is that they take that as a badge of honor, and they don’t have enough outside assets to really be a problem to them.

Thx, but I’ll stay with alternativeto.net. At least that one is not an ad in a trenchcoat.

French Poste did it too

Fair point. I do agree with the “clic to execute challenge” approach.

For the terminal browser, it has more to do with it not respecting web standard than Anubis not working on it.

As for old hardware, I do agree that a temporization could be good idea, if it wasn’t so easy to circumvent. In such case bots would just wait in the background and resume once the timer is fullified, which would vastly decrease Anubis effectiveness as they don’t uses much power to do so. There isn’t really much that can be done here.

As for the CUDA solution, that will depend on the implemented hash algorithm. Some of them (like the one used by Monero) are made to vastly more inefficient on GPU than it is on the CPU. Moreover, GPU servers are far more expensive to run than CPU ones, so the result would be the same : crawling would be more expensive.

In any case, the best solution would be by far to make it a legal requirement to respect robot.txt, but for now the legislators prefer to look the other way.

To solve it or not do not change that they have to use more resources for crawling, which is the objective here. And by contrast, the website sees a lot less load compared to before the use of Anubis. In any case, I see it as a win.

But despite that, it has its detractors, like any solution that becomes popular.

But let’s be honest, what are the arguments against it?
It takes a bit longer to access for the first time? Sure, but that’s not like you have to click anything or write anything.
It executes foreign code on your machine? Literally 90% of the web does these days. Just disable JavaScript to see how many website is still functional. I’d be surprised if even a handful does.

The only people having any advantages at not having Anubis are web crawler, be it ai bots, indexing bots, or script kiddies trying to find a vulnerable target.

Anubis is no challenge like a captcha. Anubis is a ressource waster, forcing crawler to resolve a crypto challenge (basically like mining bitcoin) before being allowed in. That how it defends so well against bots, as they do not want to waste their resources on needless computing, they just cancel the page loading before it even happen, and go crawl elsewhere.

Not to defend that asshole, but calling his wife a peadophile may be inexact. Maybe a cougars, but not a paedophile.
We unfortunately have mostly first party testimony on how their love began, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt, but according to them it was Macron that fell in love, and wooed her first.
She refused, because he was underage at that time (and she was his teacher), but once he bacame an adult, he doubled down. And we know the result of that.
Of course that ask the question of possible grooming, but considering he is mature enough to think for himself, I think it isn’t something for us to judge.
Now if she surrounded herself with some kind of harem of youger men, that’d be a lot more suspect, but to this day they seem to be an harmonious couple, and faithful to each other.
Let’s not judge hastily other people love and story. There are probably a lot of other reasons we do not know.

“Delay”… 2h… Man, that isn’t a delay, that’s normal.

I not accusing any of you, I just hate that unrealistic expectation some have that a reply should be done in less than 10 minutes. 😅

The root goes further than Trump. But Trump sure showed the ugly face of US then hidden shadow.

Clearly. That’s when they showed that they’d attack anyone out of greed. Like they did in Irak.
Sadam was a brutal dictator, and I’m glad he’s gone, but fabricating proofs of weapon of mass destruction as casus belli…

I remember well that some, like the French, did not fall for it (having their own spy satellites sure helps, I suppose), but I do remember the mockery about the French surrendering once again. Well they were right in the end. I remember some GoP politician trying to rename French fries to Liberty fries. A petty way to try to get back at them, I suppose.

More.

Instance name too.

You don’t need 4 drive for redundancy, 2 is enough. You only need 4 minimum for a raidz2, or raid 10.
My setup uses a pair of SSD in mirror for apps, and a 5 disk raidz2 (4 data disk + a hot spare) as a main data backbone.

On the other hand, algae do not produce shade, not sure if it filters atmospheric pollutants, and trees provide all sort of other services to the local ecosystem.

Maybe this invention can be used on places where trees cannot lives, but I’d still take a city with trees over a city full of green tanks.

No fuck was given.

They get 10%.

Well deserved.
