Anubis: Proof-of-work proxy to prevent AI crawlers

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.
