Techaro BotStopper (the commercial cut of #Anubis) is near ready for its first ~~victim~~, uhh customer, I mean customer. We'll have more docs in the future, but have a preview of what's to come in this thread!

📰 Com es viu l'espoli de coneixement des del nostre costat:

1️⃣ Molts servidors autogestionats estan patint atacs continus d'empreses de IA per robar-los tota la informació possible, saturant els serveis, reintentant constantment.
2️⃣ Venen de molts llocs (adreces IP) diferents, i es camuflen amb trànsit real, dificultant els bloqueigs.
3️⃣ No respecten els desitjos de lis admins expressats amb els arxius `robots.txt`.

🆕 Una persona ( @jwildeboer ) ha vinculat aquest fenomen, amb un model de negoci obscur i grotesc 🤮 Infectar aplicacions de mòbils per utilitzar-nos a les usuàries com a còmplices d'aquestes empreses espoliadores 🤖💀

🕵 Ho explica en detall en anglès a https://jan.wildeboer.net/2025/04/Web-is-Broken-Botnet-Part-2/

👀 També podeu llegir (també en anglès) l'experiència d'un sysadmin (Drew DeVault) defensant-se d'aquests atacs: https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/17/2025-03-17-Stop-externalizing-your-costs-on-me.html

El resum és que ens estant utilitzant a totis com a esclaves de la seva megalomania, i tot per inflar més la bombolla de la #IA que acabarà esclatant.

Per això @cadey ha creat #anubis , una eina que alenteix totes les connexions inicials forçant uns càlculs matemàtics https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis ⏰ i @aaron ha creat #nephentes , una eina per servir contingut aleatori als bots de IA infinitament per enverinar els seus models de llenguatge ☠

Informarem del que puguem fer com a usuàries per evitar aquest atac a internet. Per ara, si impulseu aquesta publicació ja ens ajudeu molt!

Oh, #anubis is already in #FreeBSD :latest ports freshports.org/www/go-anubis/

ergo: my server is going :latest

www.freshports.orgFreshPorts -- www/go-anubis: Anti-scraper web proxy using browser-based proof-of-work challengesAnubis is a web proxy that protects upstream resources from scraper bots by using a short hash-based proof-of-work challenge. It "weighs the soul of your connection" to determine if you're a legitimate user or an automated bot. Anubis serves as a protective layer for websites that are being aggressively scraped by AI bots and other automated systems that don't respect robots.txt standards. It provides an alternative to services like Cloudflare when those options aren't available or desired. The proof-of-work system requires clients to solve a computational challenge before accessing protected content, effectively deterring most automated scrapers while allowing legitimate users through with minimal disruption. It should be noted that Anubis may cause problems for accessibility of protected websites, potentially confusing screen readers for blind users, or other problems for assisted interaction. Please consider carefully.

Anubis is interesting - but it's breaking a lot of the RSS feeds I follow. Several sites I regularly read using text browsers are suddenly inaccessible.

I get the urge to block AI scraper bots, but breaking basic web access doesn't feel like the right trade-off.

#Anubis works as intended.

Woke up this morning to yet more Linode alerts and another failed server as a result of AI bots relentlessly scraping my #Gitea instance.

I heard about #Anubis (anubis.techaro.lol) when Xe Iaso (xeiaso.net) was on a recent episode of the #SelfHostedShow podcast and so it seemed like a great opportunity to give it a try. I don't really need "SEO" or any discoverability on Gitea, so hopefully the only downside is that new visitors need to wait a few secs before things load

anubis.techaro.lolMaking sure you're not a bot!
