Opening this site I get "Oh Noes! Invalid Response" with an anime girl.
Tried refreshing, opening in a private windows, same thing.
EDIT: tried it again and got to "Making sure you're not a bot" with the same cringey anime girl, then the site loaded without CSS. Tried one more time, finally it loaded.
EDIT 2: clicked on a link and I'm back to "Oh Noes!...".
- account42 1y agoWelcome to the bright future where open source projects happily put DRM on their websites. Yay!
- ericbarrett 1y agoThat is Anubis trying to get your browser to do proof of work: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis
- zakki 1y agoSo AI made human browsing inconvenient?
- account42 1y agoNot, lazy web developers that chose to put DRM on their websites did. As always that DRM hurts honest users more than dishonest ones.
- ericbarrett 1y agoI’ve never had problems getting to any Anubis site even with uBlock origin and uMatrix. You have to enable cookies and scripting for the main domain.
- account42 1y agoMany people also never have problems with Cloudflare yet it causes endless pain for others. But besides that, having to enable scripts and waste resources should already be unacceptable.
- esperent 1y agoI pass multiple proof of work checks from Cloudflare everyday using this browser (Brave on Android). I have JavaScript and cookies enabled. Plus, I did manage to pass it once at least.
- armarr 1y agoYes, because AI made hosting inconvenient.
- 1gn15 1y agoAI-misia backfired and made human browsing inconvenient. (PoW is fine, just wish it didn't spin it as an anti-AI thing.)
- twelvedogs 1y agoYes it did and it's only going to get worse, ai crawlers are going to continue to make running a website more and more painful. Don't blame the anime girl, she's just trying to fight the bots
- account42 1y ago> Don't blame the anime girl, she's just trying to fight the bots This is exactly what makes this cringy. There is no reason to anthropomorphize your shitty anti-bot scripts. It's just as annoying as when software goes "oopsie woopsie" when there is an error.
- 71bw 1y agoYou're free to fork Anubis and change it so that it displays whatever else your heart pleases.
- krapp 1y agoShe's doing her best!
- bobajeff 1y agoThanks, I found out I had to disable Brave's protection to get it to let me past.

- Aurornis 1y agoThat’s the anubis anti-bot mechanism. I understand where they’re coming from with all the choices made, but honestly I suspect the anubis anime girl and associated sporadic failures (that I’ve seen, too, despite having a rather standard environment) functioning as a filtering mechanism that attracts a certain in-crowd person and makes a lot of others uninterested in staying around, and I think that’s intentional.
- mhitza 1y agoI'm also locked out with the same message. Might be a setup failure as I didn't encounter this issue on other websites using that PoW page.
- dinkleberg 1y agoI can't get past the gate on my Linux workstation. But on my Mac, using the same browser with the same extensions, it works fine.
- m4rtink 1y agoI think Anubis is cute. ;-)
