The GCC all the Arab nations on the other side of the Persian gulf that got their shit rocked for hosting US bases. They are not in a position to make any demands.

The US has a full hand of leverage options against Israel which Trump can unilaterally use. Very minimum is simply stop sending them more interceptors. But I think kidnapping Netanyahu and sending him to the ICC would be appropriate.

All fanciful wish casting of course.

Not if you self-host.

To be fair, Axios always had this writing style.

Chocolate filled but not really restricted to children. They also aren't like mandatory.

And how do you actually check for working JS in a way that can’t be easily spoofed? Hint: PoW is a good way to do that.

Accessing the browsers API in any way is way harder to spoof than some hashing. I already suggested checking if the browser has graphics acceleration. That would filter out the vast majority of headless browsers too. PoW is just math and is easy to spoof without running any JavaScript. You can even do it faster than real JavaScript users something like Rust or C.

Meta refresh is a downgrade in usability for everyone but a tiny minority that has disabled JS.

What are you talking about? It just refreshes the page without doing any of the extra computation that PoW does. What extra burden does it put on users?

[-] sudo@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

Well in most cases it would by Python requests not curl. But yes, forcing them to use a browser is the real cost. Not just in CPU time but in programmer labor. PoW is overkill for that though.

Its like you didn't understand anything I said. Anubis does work. I said it works. But it works because most AI crawlers don't have a headless browser to solve the PoW. To operate efficiently at the high volume required, they use raw http requests. The vast majority are probably using basic python requests module.

You don't need PoW to throttle general access to your site and that's not the fundamental assumption of PoW. PoW assumes (incorrectly) that bots won't pay the extra flops to scrape the website. But bots are paid to scape the website users aren't. They'll just scale horizontally and open more parallel connections. They have the money.

Its like that but way too sensitive. I've deliberately been gentle and it will still fail especially if I set it upright with fans on the heatsink.
