If crowdsec works for you thats great but also its a corporate product

It’s also fully FLOSS with dozens of contributors (not to speak of the community-driven blocklists). If they make money with it, great.

not exactly a pure self hosted solution.

Why? I host it, I run it. It’s even in Debian Stable repos, but I choose their own more up-to-date ones.

Allow me to expand on the problem I was having. It wasnt just that I was getting a knock or two, its that I was getting 40 knocks every few seconds scraping every page and searching for a bunch that didnt exist that would allow exploit points in unsecured production vps systems.

• Again, a properly set up WAF will deal with this pronto
• You should not have exploit points in unsecured production systems, full stop.

On a computational level the constant network activity of bytes from webpage, zip files and images downloaded from scrapers pollutes traffic. Anubis stops this by trapping them in a landing page that transmits very little information from the server side.

• And instead you leave the computations to your clients. Which becomes a problem on slow hardware.
• Again, with a properly set up WAF there’s no “traffic pollution” or “downloading of zip files”.

Anubis uses a weighted priority which grades how legit a browser client is.

And apart from the user agent and a few other responses, all of which are easily spoofed, this means “do some javascript stuff on the local client” (there’s a link to an article here somewhere that explains this well) which will eat resources on the client’s machine, which becomes a real pita on e.g. smartphones.

Also, I use one of those less-than-legit, weird and non-regular browsers, and I am being punished by tools like this.

That’s just so USA.

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States,”

Trump did not identify any countries by name or explain what he meant by third-world countries or “permanently pause”.

I am not entertaining this as something to be discussed. It is just as dumb, crazy, unhinged yet still somehow vague as anything that came out of his mouth this year (and most of the past decade).

This admin needs to go, wholesale. If that wasn’t already clear in January I don’t know what to say.

a part of the country where ICE came and backed out

Where is that?

And who is Fahd Ahmed?

FWIW, I’m slightly skeptical of DemocracyNow, at least of their sensationalist news videos.

IMO this is largely Debian-specific: this distro seems to hold backward comaptibility in very high regard, so any problem is bound to have a multitude of solutions. In addition, the Debian Wiki is not as well maintained as you-know-whose.

I see nothing untoward here.

Except maybe that last sentence, what “s” are you talking about (fwiw, the man page that comes with an installed package should™ be the ultimate authority)?

At the time of commenting, this post is 8h old. I read all the top comments, many of them critical of Anubis.

I run a small website and don’t have problems with bots. Of course I know what a DDOS is - maybe that’s the only use case where something like Anubis would help, instead of the strictly server-side solution I deploy?

I use CrowdSec (it seems to work with caddy btw). It took a little setting up, but it does the job.
(I think it’s quite similar to fail2ban in what it does, plus community-updated blocklists)

Am I missing something here? Why wouldn’t that be enough? Why do I need to heckle my visitors?

Despite all that I still had a problem with bots knocking on my ports spamming my logs.

By the time Anubis gets to work, the knocking already happened so I don’t really understand this argument.

If the system is set up to reject a certain type of requests, these are microsecond transactions of no (DDOS exception) harm.

it’s mentioned in this article

I had to check the subtitle: yes, this person is in a US prison.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Rump tried to pardon a corrupt ex-president in a different country.

Majority of Latino voters disapprove of Trump

At this point it’s a hypothetical (and maybe always was), but if Trump legally won another election I’d recommend euthanasia for large parts of the US population.

There really shouldn’t be any death penalty at all.

Any sort of “death to X, no exception” is pure rhetoric btw. It’s scary how strong that rhetoric is and how both voters & people with a lot of power support it, but afaik no rule of law knows any such thing.

Of course, the USA is this 🤏 close to tyranny, but not yet!

Nicer link btw:

Considering it was written by them, badly translated, then accepted wholesale - what else would you call it?

Adding insult to injury, it also means Internal Combustion Engine. Whereas Inter City Express stands for clean transportation.

The Middle East Eye has given us great content, but this headline really sucks ass.

It was also written in Russian, then translated into English. Surprised?

I watched this video yesterday, it explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/PpyPB3BF-hQ

In 3 stages: 100 million, 1 billion, 100 billion. The obscenity of it all and how, gradually, influence becomes more important than money to these people.

I almost downvoted you for that horrible quote. Visceral reaction of disgust.

This type of delusion seems pretty much unavoidable once you become one.

“A MAGAt would eat shit just to breathe on a lib”

I was so looking forward to this. Donny really is a party pooper.

Denouncing the horrors of socialism.

Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has, time and time again, collapsed into communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships;

Whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide;

Whereas many of the greatest crimes in history were committed by socialist ideologues, including Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, and Nicolás Maduro;

Whereas tens of millions died in the Bolshevik Revolution, at least 10,000,000 people were sent to the gulags in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and millions more starved in the Terror-Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine;

Whereas between 15,000,000 and 55,000,000 people starved to death in the wake of famine and devastation caused by the Great Leap Forward in China;

Whereas the socialist experiment in Cambodia led to the killing fields in which over a million people were gruesomely murdered;

Whereas up to 3,500,000 people have starved in North Korea, dividing a land of freedom from a land of destitution;

Whereas the Castro regime in Cuba expropriated the land of Cuban farmers and the businesses of Cuban entrepreneurs, stealing their possessions and their livelihoods, and exiling millions with nothing but the clothes on their backs;

Whereas the implementation of socialism in Venezuela has turned a once-prosperous country into a failed State with the highest rate of inflation in the world;

Whereas President Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, wrote, “To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it”;

Whereas President James Madison, the “Father of the Constitution”, wrote that it “is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest”; and

Whereas the United States was founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States.

Very flowery. The facts stated might be factual, but prepending every statement with “Socialism did this” is not.

The term Socialism without any additional qualifier is way too broad anyhow. And even then, not all social policy is socialism.
