@raito It's certainly an interesting topic, and the main reason I swapped the default graphics for generic emojis is really two-fold: 1. the tech community in general has a complicated history when it comes to objectifying women, so while having a feminine mascot greet you may be seen as a positive thing in one light, it can also be interpreted poorly. 2. "sad" and "happy" are emotions that can be difficult to judge for some people. I wanted a very blunt "working," "passed," "failed" graphics.

git.kernel.org and lore.kernel.org now require proof of work. Big thanks to Anubis developers for filling this important need.

Users of w3m and lynx browsers will be asked to identify and fix a bug in the mm subsystem before they are allowed to access git kernel.org.

I worry that we're mere weeks or months away from free software being declared unamerican in the US.

@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:
https://paste.centos.org/view/71c89eea
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.
