@SuperDicq I wanted to use it on my server, but honestly I don't understand the intention. Is it supposed to punish misbehaving bots that pretend to be real browser? Well, sure, but isn't it just a temporary solution? -

@mittorn@masturbated.one If it is that easy to circumvent how does even keep bots out? Are bots really top stupid to change their user agent?

@SuperDicq @mittorn that's what I mean by temporary.
It's not too hard for them to randomize user agents. What software like Anubis is going to do with randomized user agents? Block them? What if it's a valid real user then? -

@mittorn @SuperDicq I also don't think scraper bots won't run PoW in near future.
Those who run scrapers definitely don't care about electricity bills because they already waste a lot on GPUs that train LLMs. -

@ignaloidas @SuperDicq @mittorn they already scraped whole internet and want more. What do you think?
