When I instantly read it, I knew it was anubis. I hope the anime catgirls never disapear from that project :)
Its nice to see there is still some whimsy on the internet. Everything got so corporate and sterile.

I don't trip over CloudFlare except when in a weird VPN, and then it always gets out of my way after the challenge. Anubis screws with me a lot, and often doesn't work.
The annoying thing about cloudflare is that most of the time once you’re blocked: you’re blocked. There’s literally no way for you to bypass the block if you’re affected. Its incredibly scary, I once had a bad useragent (without knowing it) and half the internet went offline, I couldn’t even access documentation or my email providers site, and there was no contact information or debugging information to help me resol…
The Soccer rightsholders - LaLiga - claim more than 50% of pirate IPs illegally distributing its content are protected by Cloudflare. Many were using an application called DuckVision to facilitate this streaming.
Telefónica, the ISP, upon realizing they couldn’t directly block DuckVision’s IP or identify its users, decided on a drastic solution: blocking entire IP ranges belonging to Cloudflare, which continues to affect a huge number of services that had nothing to do with soccer piracy.

TFA — and most comments here — seem to completely miss what I thought was the main point of Anubis: it counters the crawler's "identity scattering"/sybil'ing/parallel crawling. Any access will fall into either of the following categories: - client with JS and cookies. In this case the server now has an identity to apply rate limiting to, from the cookie. Humans should never hit it, but crawlers will be slowed down im…
Superficial comment regarding the catgirl, I don't get why some people are so adamant and enthusiastic for others to see it, but if you like me find it distasteful and annoying, consider copying these uBlock rules: https://sdf.org/~pkal/src+etc/anubis-ublock.txt . Brings me joy to know what I am not seeing whenever I get stopped by this page :)
I don't get why so many people find it "distasteful and annoying"

It really should be recognised just how many people are watching Cloudflare interstitials on nearly every site these days (and I totally get why this happens) yet making a huge amount of noise about Anubis on a very small amount of sites.
That says something about the chosen picture, doesn't it? Probably that it's not well liked. It certainly isn't neutral, while the Cloudfare page is.

> people see a completely innocent little anime picture and immediately think "pervent-dwelling imageboard" Think you can thank the furries for that. Every furry I've happened to come across was very pervy in some way, and so that what immediately comes to mind when I see furry-like pictures like the one shown in the article. YMMV
Out of interest, how many furries have you met? I've been to several fur meets, and have met approximately three furries who I would not want to know anymore for one reason or another
None of them were very pervy at first, only after I got to know them.

Might've caught on because the animes had plots, instead of considering viewers to have the attention spans of idiots like Western kids' shows (and, in the 21st century, software) tend to do.
I don't think it's relevant to debate if anime or other forms of media is objectively better. But as someone who has never understood anime, I view mainstream western TV series as filled with hours of cleverly written dialogue and long story arches, whereas the little anime I've watched seems to mostly be overly dramatic colorful action scenes with intense screamed dialogue and strange bodily noises. Should we maybe…

You don't have to get it to be able to accept that others like it. Why not let them have their fun? This sounds more as though you actively dislike anime than merely not seeing the appeal or being "ignorant". If you were to ignore it, there wouldn't be an issue...
They can have their fun on their personal websites. Subjecting others to your "fun" when you knows it annoys them is not cool.
I don't get the impression that it's meant to be annoying, but a personal preference. I can't know that, though whitelabeling is a common thing people pay for without the original brand having made their logo extra ugly
