Weebs and furries, man. Weebs and furries. They run the entire digital infrastructure.
Just git clone the repo to analyze it. That is the intended way to get the code for running your natural neural network over it; it should work just fine for artificial neural networks too.
Peak internet: solving a captcha while being judged by a catgirl 😭
At least it’s not a hypersexualized catgirl.
If running a development team is like herding cats, of course an self-organized free software team is a “clowder”. Autonomy respecting catboys are also welcome.
Its called evolution, roll with it.
Just as a backup, nothing more, can somebody PLEASE fork it and have the avatar be a LEGION of furries? 🥹🩵🩷🤍 My programming “skills” are…
Hello, world!, so…You can replace it with a userscript, just like someone replaced the Wolfram Aplha logo with its fursona
AFAIK it hasn’t been done because the mascot is placed there as some sort of branding by the creator of Anubis. In its website it’s explained that you can change or remove the mascot for a fee if you plan to use it for corporate purposes.
While this is true, it’s also worth noting that the original is permissively licensed. You can change it if you want, it’s just that most people don’t bother. Presumably changing the image would be as simple as replacing the three files in /web/static/img, but maybe that would look weird for some reason.
You’re completely right, I guess it’s kind of weird to fork it just to replace an image. If it’s MIT you can just replace the image and not bother about publishing such simple change, right?
even TF2/Valve developer wiki makes you stare at catgirls.
Wait until they find out about Programmer Socks.
Anubis has become so common across the internet that I basically never notice it lol
The world is dominated by people like this Karen. Making society so fucking dry, boring, and lifeless. The same sort of people who invented corpospeak.
I hate that society is largely driven by people who think that whimsy must die with your childhood
It’s also people who think that anything out of the ordinary must be dirty and perverted.
Xenia save us, foxgirl xenia
First of all, it’s a jackal girl.
Second, we wouldn’t need Anubis if it wasn’t for the hoard of scraping bots trying to copy every line of source code they can, to feed into LLM to be ground up and spat out as an attributionless mass of Frankenstein code.
Would they rather it be a soulless corporate logo? A flat two tone rounded corner letter on a square?
The issue isn’t even that they copy it once anymore. That would be a one and done thing.
The biggest problem is that they can’t even be arsed to copy anything but the URL. They save their own resources by feeding only the address and metadata into the training model and then letting it loose to collect the datasets for itself again.
That means every new model and every slight tweak is an additional crawler that will spamm your server with requests, all because these lunatics are too cheap to buy their own hdds.
I think we collectively agreed FOSS mascots need to be full furry, preferably drawn by that one artist who did the KDE mascots
Tyson Tan, who also did Freedom Planet 2 designs.
The only way to fight multi-billionaire corporations is by being a little
controversialopinionated.
yep. this is like somebody putting a giant retro reflective wall in front of their house because the person across from them idles their vehicle with blinding LED headlights every morning for 10 minutes pointed straight in the living room
It sucks that you can’t browse anywhere without javascript anymore. It used to be that all the open source sites, most news sites, forums running phpbb, even YouTube aside from the actual <video> element all worked without javascript, and as a bonus there would be no ads.
Now, you can’t browse anywhere without these challenges. At least this one is noninvasive, but the Cloudflare one and the Google Recaptcha do a ton of fingerprinting to choose whether to let you in.
USPS has a home-rolled one that requires web assembly enabled, or it silently fails with a blank page. There’s no non-malicious excuse for that.
If this is the future of web browsing, hopefully more sites use systems like Anubis. But I also hope at least static pages can be viewable as plain html.
Yeah. I just leave pages that use this crap, but it’s steadily becoming a larger and larger % of the sites I try to visit each day.

I sadly found out when trying to track the replacement display for my phone from iFixit through the Kobo web browser.
What’s wrong with Javascript
Web browsers have a huge attack surface, and are most people’s main exposure to potential exploits. Without javascript, 99% of the attack surface disappears, becuase the attacker no longer has a way to run arbitrary code.
A lot of terminal-based browsers don’t do javascript.
If I want to scrape a page, this makes it a pain for both parties. I’m not an AI company, so I can afford the hash tax, but it’s still a pain to spin up Firefox from a from cron job instead of wget. And I’m still doing it, Anubis doesn’t stop small time scrapers like me who aren’t running AI training, and only scrape like one page per day. So now the server has to serve the original page, plus all the Anubis stuff each time my crown job goes off.
The HT in HTTP stands for HyperText, not HyperCode.
The greybeards somehow dodged gamergate modders and found blahaj members to pass the torch to, I respect that.
