Great, other companies have thought the same and they’re sheepishly realizing that’s not realistic. Let us know how it goes

I didn’t know we were supposed to get high! We just got out of the family for a while

SEO ruined the Internet

That’s counting on one machine using the same cookie session continuously, or they code up a way to share the tokens across machines. That’s now how the bot farms work

ah we’re all learning together :)

I was a single server with only me and 2 others or so, and then saw that I had thousands of requests per minutes at times! Absolutely nuts! My cloud bill was way higher. Adding anubis and it dropped down to just our requests, and bills dropped too. Very very strong proponent now.

Part of the territory I guess, but hey thanks :) If you ever need help debugging a game on Linux I’ll be sure to help out! I guess I won’t recommend protondb first though?

You’re the first user that I’ve ever come across (so far) that assumes someone hasn’t checked ProtonDB when someone says “I’ve searched…” in the context of Linux Gaming… Much less on Lemmy.

And someone who was willing to try to debug with you. Won’t be responding anymore.

ProtonDB

Notice how you don’t mention “ProtonDB”, where you searched, or what you tried anywhere in your post.

Unsure if you knew about ProtonDB, I then tried to point you somewhere where I get answers (again, because you didn’t mention anything you tried or where you looked), and you took a snotty tone with me for trying to help you.

How was this supposed to go in your mind?

Yeesh, I thought maybe I was reading into the tone a bit too much but you downvoted me for trying to help you? Screw me for trying to help, good luck on your own.

Have you checked ProtonDB? https://www.protondb.com/app/2623190 It’s okay if you haven’t, less people than I’d expect know about it.

I see this here from a month ago:

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Changed configuration
Issue

After the update from 1.1 to 1.2, the game would crash with Unreal Engine 5 errors after the initial shader cache loading.

    LowLevelFatalError -- Bad export index … WBP_Modern_CharacterCreation_EditableText_C

Happens after Bethesda’s update due to mismatched Unreal 5 caches and corrupted .pak files left behind by Steam in the shader caches and games compatdata directory.
Fix

    Uninstalled the game.
    Remove all leftover files
    Reinstall game

rm -rf ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/2623190
rm -rf ~/.steam/root/steamapps/shadercache/2623190
rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2623190
rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/"Oblivion Remastered"
rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/shadercache/2623190
rm -rf ~/.cache/OblivionRemastered ~/.cache/unreal*

Clear out the unreal engine cache

rm -rf ~/.cache/OblivionRemastered
rm -rf ~/.cache/unreal*
rm -rf ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache

Graphics:Minor Artifacts
Performance:Slight Performance Problems

Poorly optmized game. Engine.ini tweaks and performance tweaking is required.

This dance to get access is just a minor annoyance for me, but I question how it proves I’m not a bot. These steps can be trivially and cheaply automated.

I don’t think the author understands the point of Anubis. The point isn’t to block bots completely from your site, bots can still get in. The point is to put up a problem at the door to the site. This problem, as the author states, is relatively trivial for the average device to solve, it’s meant to be solved by a phone or any consumer device.

The actual protection mechanism is scale, the scale of this solving solution is costly. Bot farms aren’t one single host or machine, they’re thousands, tens of thousands of VMs running in clusters constantly trying to scrape sites. So to them, a calculating something that trivial is simple once, very very costly at scale. Say calculating the hash once takes about 5 seconds. Easy for a phone. Let’s say that’s 1000 scrapes of your site, that’s now 5000 seconds to scrape, roughly an hour and a half. Now we’re talking about real dollars and cents lost. Scraping does have a cost, and having worked at a company that does professionally scrape content they know this. Most companies will back off after trying to load a page that takes too long, or is too intensive - and that is why we see the dropoff in bot attacks. It’s that it’s not worth it for them to scrape the site anymore.

So for Anubis they’re “judging your value” by saying “Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is to access this site?” For consumer it’s a fraction of a fraction of a penny in electricity spent for that one page load, barely noticeable. For large bot farms it’s real dollars wasted on my little lemmy instance/blog, and thankfully they’ve stopped caring.

I just stayed in a hotel with my wife that was probably 140 square feet, and toilet was surrounded by frosted glass that still very much shows the outline of your lover shitting, and the entire top of it was completely open! So you could hear EVERYTHING. Now, we’re pretty close, but we also have some decency, like simply “Hey while I don’t care that you are pooping, I want you to feel comfortable not even needing to think about it”. Not so with that bathroom. It’s insane we need a whole video essay about it.

Check out Anubis. If you have a reverse proxy it is very easy to add, and for the bots stopped spamming after I added it to mine

We’ll take that thing you love and run it into the fucking ground for our profit!

Hey look! I found something that clearly it wasn’t designed for but I’m going to make a while rage bait article about it anyway!

Oh, oh no no no it wasn’t

The reason he wants it is he doesn’t want secrets to setup auth

Yes I’d like auth without the auth please

This looks great! Thank you for the recommendation!

That really sucks, I’m sorry :/ yet I’m not surprised at all. Airlines, while absolutely terrible, can see if you booked through them and if you’re a loyal flyer, and they’ll help you out. Priceline just don’t care at all about you, you’re a single transaction, and they already got their money
