#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well my first thought when I saw it was "oh that's a fun little mascot". From a quick look, it appears to be a hobby project, so I like that it's a little playful. I wish little fun things like this was more common in software, myself.
It's based on depictions of Anubis in pop media, a jackal that weighs your soul and if it's heavier than a feather you die. Figured it was a good vibe for a bot filter project. The new rendition of Anubis is going to be aggressively Canadian. Be prepared.
aggressively Canadian
Thoth as Canada goose might be worth the outright name change here.

#16Doesn't seem to noticably slow down my test bot. Headful crawling already takes ~10sec/page so an extra 0.5sec is hardly that big a deal.
