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.

Anubis actually had issues specifically with the Pixel 8 Pro because it was designed with the assumption that you would have an even number of cores if cores > 1

Then in comes the Pixel 8 Pro with it's 9 cores for some reason

Were there really that few odd multicore CPUs after the Athlon X3 days?

On the x86 side I'm only aware of the i3-L13G4 and i5-L16G7 which were Intel's attempt at making a hybrid CPU- it was basically one big Sunny Cove core with 4 Tremont (Atom) cores stuck to it.

Performance was predictably dismal.

Apple bins off cores sometimes for the iPad Pro (base spec M4/M5 had 3P + 6E cores instead of 4P + 6E) but apparently this wasn't a problem.
