At work I was asked by a different team how we can deal with bots, because someone in my team remembered that I knew how to do it.
I reluctantly suggested Anubis because I got shit for it last time, This is the URL https://anubis.techaro.lol/
This is the 2nd and last time I will ever recommend Anubis anywhere at work to deal with bots because of how unprofessional, un-serious and weird others perceive it.

The mascot being a ~10 year old “cutsie” anime cat girl is weird in a work setting.
I will never put myself in a situation again where I have to explain that it’s not weird to anyone again, same for that URL.
What is a professional looking open-source alternative to Anubis?
Edit: No I can’t just send my colleges here https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper The issue is they find the Mascot and domain weird, they will still run into both.
My Goal: Recommend a Open-Source bot protection tool
The Issue: When I send my coworkers to https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper they find the mascot and URL weird.
Result: They don’t see Anubis as a serious tool and turn away from it

It’s not cringe :(
As a millennial parent to teenage girls who eat this shit up, IMO, it is very cringe.
Millenials are cringe.
I don’t really care. Grown-ass men should not be incorporating underage-appearing anime catgirls in…anything. Ever. It’s weird as shit.
Why do you see an underage girl and immediately make it sexual
…you do understand the very obvious connection between anime catgirls and porn, right?
Literally something that only someone who watches a lot of anime porn would say… Most people don’t instantly make that connection actually. Do your daughters?
And you’re being intentionally obtuse.
I can’t take this thread seriously anymore.
