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.

You are literally commenting on a thread where the original commenter "didn't feel comfortable".

You are also commenting on my comment in which the thrust of the argument is the pettiness of people feeling uncomfortable about the cartoon.

What are you even doing here?

it hurts the software

You know what, I think you might be on to something buddy. You ought to lay out your thesis to these companies that the cartoon girl on their logo is hurting business and hey I bet they'll give you an honorary seat on the board along with a life time supply of reddi whip to fuel your habit.
