Oh my gods, look at this release name for #anubis - https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/releases/tag/v1.16.0
Woke up this morning to yet more Linode alerts and another failed server as a result of AI bots relentlessly scraping my #Gitea instance.
I heard about #Anubis (https://anubis.techaro.lol) when Xe Iaso (https://xeiaso.net) was on a recent episode of the #SelfHostedShow podcast and so it seemed like a great opportunity to give it a try. I don't really need "SEO" or any discoverability on Gitea, so hopefully the only downside is that new visitors need to wait a few secs before things load
I was not particularly bothered by #Anubis at first, but having to wait upwards of 15 seconds to access some of the websites using it is uhhh...
bad. yeah I think I'd call that bad.
Looking at most recent logs, there are still some scrapers that fall through the cracks, and reach my backend. They use residential IPs, and user agents I can't filter. Luckily, they don't put much pressure on my infra, but... I don't like them there.
The vast majority of them are interested in my forge, so I'm thinking about deploying #Anubis there, on some URLs that humans don't usually visit.
I don't like proof-of-work things, because they penalize the legit visitor too. But there's a point where the passive defenses do not scale anymore. I can still limit the damage, though. But I've got to do some serious log digging to figure out the patterns I can shove behind Anubis.
I will also have to figure out how often the same IP address is used. As in... can I set things up in a way that if the Anubis check fails, I temporarily route that IP into a maze?
Tired of this. Don't tell me to turn off privacy extensions. I just won't visit your site.
As my initial use case for #swad was to stop #AI #bots clogging my DSL upstream, and the #FreeBSD / #poudriere build logs they were downloading in gigabytes aren't secret at all (to the contrary, it can sometimes be helpful to share them when hunting down build issues in the community) I wonder whether I should add a module somewhat similar to #anubis[1] for "guest logins"? Might be a lot of work though...
Is everyone who’s using #Anubis SURE that it’s fine? It was already suspicious when it was half open source and used AI art, but now the repo got copied to a GH org “anti-AI AI company” with a domain that doesn’t resolve and the blog was silently updated (but still mentions commercial licensing)? Have you double-checked the install commands don’t do anything nasty and the service is isolated?
I'm kind of surprised that #Anubis is effective. I wasn't under the impression that unscrupulous AI scrapers had a shortage of computing power. Wonder how long it'll work…
Esta mañana al comentar los problemas de Wikimedia con el scrapping, un amigo programador me han hablado del proyecto Anubis https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/
"Es bastante sencillo y fácil de implementar en cualquier web medio seria, te cargas automáticamente cualquier scrapper (sea de IA sea de lo que sea). Además, no pueden inventar nada que haga que sea rentable el scrapping con eso puesto." #aiscraping #aiscrapers #wikimedia #anubis #iahastaenlaputasopa
