@0leil no, I believe right now Anubis only gets triggered on Mozilla user agents.

Difficulty is set at 4 leading zeroes, unless you're coming from US in which case there's also a tariff of 5 more leading zeroes.

You can see it in action on this recently decommissioned system I'm using for testing purposes: https://ams.source.kernel.org/

I'm sad to say that we're following the lead of many others and putting in proof-of-work proxies into place to protect ourselves against "AI" crawler bots. Yes, I hate this as much as you, but all other options are currently worse (such as locking us into specific vendors).

We'll be rolling it out on lore.kernel.org and git.kernel.org in the next week or so.

@dermoth Can you tell me how long it roughly takes for you to access https://ams.source.kernel.org (it's a system out of rotation where I'm testing the integration)

@dermoth You can kinda estimate by running this:

difficulty of 6 leading zeroes takes about 10 seconds on my i3 intel NUC

(No, I don't intend to leave it at difficulty=6, it's just so I could take the screenshot.)

@cadey now I just need to figure out how to allowlist our monitoring bots. :) I do see the bot/useragent js file, but I'm not sure I want to rebuild the binary each time that requires updating.

@cadey thank you for your work on this. Wish it wasn't needed, but it looks like some kind of proof-of-something is going to be required for all public resources.

@xexaxo just accessing millions of commit objects from millions of ips is bad enough without git blame ot other expensive endpoints, honestly.

Sigh... I got anubis proof-of-work bot working in pre-production. I can't express how much I hate this.
