This snip at the end is so good:
Iaso said she thinks AI companies follow her work, and that if they really want to stop her and Anubis they just need to distract her.
“If you are working at an AI company, here’s how you can sabotage Anubis development as easily and quickly as possible,” she wrote on her site. “So first is quit your job, second is work for Square Enix, and third is make absolute banger stuff for Final Fantasy XIV. That’s how you can sabotage this the best.”
I’d be fine with this… 🤣
She told me she’s […] also thinking about a version that doesn’t require JavaScript, which some privacy-minded disable in their browsers.
As someone who is keenly aware of the privacy and security problems that come with allowing web scripts, I hope she prioritizes this soon. It’s really disappointing to find sites that were formerly readable without javascript suddenly inaccessible since adopting Anubis. The more sites that do this, the more people are pushed toward enabling scripts by default, exposing them to a great many trackers and web exploits that would otherwise be blocked.
There’s an option using some very new HTML tag, but it’s not the default.

Interesting. Judging by that option’s name, it seems to refer to use of the HTML
<meta>tag to refresh a page.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/meta/http-equiv
Neither this tag nor using it for refresh is new at all. I don’t think I’ve seen it used to detect bots, though. I wonder what Anubis is doing here.
i like this one better than cloudflare’s turnstile.
cf blocks me all the time for the smallest reasons and i can’t seem to find their nag email.
I have no issues with Cloudflare, but Anubis always takes it sweet ass time to verify me. Like 30+ seconds just sitting there, but then eventually I get in.
Windows XP ended support like 20 years ago if you were wondering if the Pentium 4 build you’re using was still viable.
This thing Anubis always flags me for some reason. I use mullvad and safari (ios) with some add and tracker blocking extensions.
I wonder why traffic from known VPN companies are under more scrutiny than traffic from domestic households…
More sites in general are blocking mullvad traffic lately (in my experience), and I’m not sure what, if anything, can be done about it.
I expect better from a popular FOSS tool being used by privacy aware people though.
Can you open an issue, or see if one is open already for this?
Agreed. Luckily, they don’t seem to have the full list of Mullvad IPs, so if I really want to read something, I just try another tunnel.
Do you have javascript or cookies disabled? That might stop you from getting past.
nope
Would you edit your post and add the following archive link to the body, please?
Unfortunately, archive.is seems to have moved behind a big corporate CAPTCHA service, subjecting readers to having their reading habits (both the articles and the referring communities) tracked at a large scale.
I suggest this archive link instead:

How do you know this?
What about https://ghostarchive.org/?
Sorry; I shouldn’t have written Cloudflare specifically. Their CAPTCHA page now contains scripts from Google, not Cloudflare. I have corrected my comment.
How do you know this?
Because a couple months ago, archive.is/archive.today started showing me CAPTCHA pages instead of the archived articles when I use Firefox with scripts disabled. The current page contains scripts hosted by Google, which I won’t enable, so I can’t read the archived articles.
What about https://ghostarchive.org/?
I haven’t used that site enough to have a consistent picture of what it’s doing. When I tried it a few minutes ago, it directed me to a CAPTCHA wall when trying to submit an article, but not when searching for an archived article. I’ll try to remember to look at it again periodically, to be able to answer this question in the future.
Thanks. I appreciate the info and effort.
To be honest with you, I refuse on moral grounds. 404 are independent and do good work. You’ve already linked a pay wall bypass in the comments, if anyone would like to find it, it’s not hard to scroll.
OK. Fair enough.
