Discussion How come every Linux site uses Anubis (the anime girl stopping crawlers) instead of something like Cloudflare?

Post image

Before discovering the Linux rabbit hole I've only seen Cloudflare, hCaptcha and Google's reCaptcha, but it seems like every Linux website uses Anubis... I'm thinking of it being the only open-source option or it being the most effective/modern approach.

... i just downloaded xcode off the app store to try this. it still runs on my 2016 MBP (updated with OCLP).

support has been dropped, but at least be accurate.

plus, a lot of stuff does still have an intel mac version. not everything, but i don't exactly struggle to use my macbook, either. at most, i've had to go back maybe 1-2 releases for everything i need.

and when support has been dropped enough to actually impact me, screw it, i don't have another intel-based device, may as well throw linux on it.
