That is Anubis trying to get your browser to do proof of work: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

So AI made human browsing inconvenient?

I’ve never had problems getting to any Anubis site even with uBlock origin and uMatrix. You have to enable cookies and scripting for the main domain.

I pass multiple proof of work checks from Cloudflare everyday using this browser (Brave on Android). I have JavaScript and cookies enabled.

Plus, I did manage to pass it once at least.

Many people also never have problems with Cloudflare yet it causes endless pain for others. But besides that, having to enable scripts and waste resources should already be unacceptable.

Yes it did and it's only going to get worse, ai crawlers are going to continue to make running a website more and more painful. Don't blame the anime girl, she's just trying to fight the bots

This is exactly what makes this cringy. There is no reason to anthropomorphize your shitty anti-bot scripts. It's just as annoying as when software goes "oopsie woopsie" when there is an error.

She's doing her best!

You're free to fork Anubis and change it so that it displays whatever else your heart pleases.

Yes, because AI made hosting inconvenient.

AI-misia backfired and made human browsing inconvenient.

(PoW is fine, just wish it didn't spin it as an anti-AI thing.)

Not, lazy web developers that chose to put DRM on their websites did. As always that DRM hurts honest users more than dishonest ones.

That’s the anubis anti-bot mechanism.

I understand where they’re coming from with all the choices made, but honestly I suspect the anubis anime girl and associated sporadic failures (that I’ve seen, too, despite having a rather standard environment) functioning as a filtering mechanism that attracts a certain in-crowd person and makes a lot of others uninterested in staying around, and I think that’s intentional.

I can't get past the gate on my Linux workstation. But on my Mac, using the same browser with the same extensions, it works fine.

I'm also locked out with the same message. Might be a setup failure as I didn't encounter this issue on other websites using that PoW page.

Welcome to the bright future where open source projects happily put DRM on their websites. Yay!
