Not cat but obviously a jackal… (seriously… was the name and the ‘weighing the soul of your connection’-thing not enough?)
Not anime…
Not a nurse… (that’s a maple leaf on the cap and since when is a magnifying glass typical medical equipment?)
Also and much more important:
Not the more annoying (and often failing) Cloudflare screen…
Not another stupid CAPTCHA…
PS: Did version 1.23.1 really change the Canadian flag with a ‘CA’… I have found screenshots of versions older than that that did display the flag as do newer ones. So I’m really asking myself if that was an intentional edit to get away with the “nurse” argument.
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…As the software is called Anubis, technically,
she’sthey’re a jackalgirlNon binary actually!
Edit: It looks like I’m wrong! See down below. The dev is enby while the mascot appears to be a girl
Got a source on this?
The artist uses female pronouns for them.
That’s the Canada maple leaf, not a ‘nurse thing’
Eh, tbh i’m pretty weirded out by most of the anime culture/fandom as well. I pretty much blocked anything anime on the fediverse because i dont want to see it. But the anubis girl didnt even register as anime for me. Even if it did it would be 5 seconds to block that image with ublock.
Anyway, i hope this will be the last time i post about how i dont like certain aspects of anime because nobody gives a shit.
It’s a freaking picture. It’s not even anime-like, this is more the western drawing style. Who cares.
It’s the big eyes, I reckon
Uh, Simpsons? Hazbin hotel, SpongeBob, most of cartoon network… It’s probably catgirl -> anime in their brain.
i’d rather be greeted by Anubis than be harassed by CloudFlare.
I’d rather be greeted by the Sphinx and asked to solve a riddle than another captcha.
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?
I think we collectively agreed FOSS mascots need to be full furry, preferably drawn by that one artist who did the KDE mascots
pointless software that I don’t know why anyone uses.
a bot can waste cycles on nothing just as easily as I can
The point is how expensive it is. For your 1 request, you wait 2 seconds, and the power draw is a minor inconvenience. For the massive botfarm, it adds up to days of CPU time and a significant portion of the electricity bill.
A small price for the unlimited government subsidy to pay
Tavis Ormandy wrote that he believes that the cost of scraping websites protected by Anubis is negligible: “I don’t think we reach a single cent per month in compute costs until several million sites have deployed Anubis.”

Because it evidently reduces AI scraper traffic.
