Who does Anubis actually stop?
Summary
The post analyzes a patch to the Linux kernel to support $ORIGIN for the interpreter via bpf, using an LLM to assist. It reviews Anubis, a proof-of-work based HTTP proxy, and a tool named anubis-fetch that circumvents the PoW, arguing that such measures mainly burden humans and devices rather than effectively stopping AI-driven access. It highlights the energy and time costs, accessibility issues for non-JS clients, and questions the overall value of the approach.
