<p><span title="Answer"><b>A:</b></span> Why not? I'm having fun making this site. Might as well put some extra information on here, even if it'll probably be private and small forever. <small>(Although - Things can always change! Who knows if I decide to expand publicly or something.)</small></p>

<p><span title="Question"><b>Q:</b></span> Why are some your services behind <a href="https://anubis.techaro.lol">Anubis</a>??? Don't you know it's so easy to bypass and it's stupid and hurts real users??? You must be gay and dumb and fat and stupid.</p>
<hr class="solid">
<p><span title="Answer"><b>A:</b></span> Honestly, Anubis is just sort of a pre-caution specifically for some of our services that are easily targetable for/by scrapers. Considering how recently the Open Web[TM] has seen so many attacks from mass AI scraping that essentially caused multiple (and still ongoing) DDOS'es.</p>
<p>I know Anubis is "Easy" to bypass but the whole point of it is to try and directly tell scrapers/bots acting in malicious fate that <i>try</i> to be regular browser to get away with everything to fuck off. I don't want to keep having to manually fight back and keep blocking new IPs or do anything else when Anubis is an existing, easy to set up and overall effective solution, as seen by everyone else running it.</p>
<p><small>Currently, anyways. At some point scrapers will become smart enough that the way Anubis works won't be effective, but <i>currently</i> it still is and a temporary solution to protect ourselves is better than nothing. And also Anubis is somewhat temporary until I stop being lazy to migrate to <a href="https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away">something else</a>.</small></p>
