Proof-of-work to protect lore.kernel.org and git.kernel.org against AI crawlers

Web scrapers run by LLM companies have become so aggressive that some website operators feel a need to use Anubis, a proof-of-work barrier using script in the browser. I'm told it's less bad than blocking entire countries or making your readers find all the traffic lights.

@sudo yeah, the bot-problem is hard, especially for voluntary that help others.

* they use a proof of work system called #Anubis to fix their #bot problem. I hope it works. #proofofwork
The proof of work right now needs about 1 second on my phone, so I am happy with that.
Perhaps the biggest problem of bots is the number of requests they start, which is impossible to replicate by a normal human clicking on buttons.
Proof-of-work mining such as that used by Bitcoin, both solo and pooled, does not trigger federal securities laws, according to an SEC statement today. Mining operators do not need to register their transactions with the regulator.

Cоздание Приватной Сети Блокчейн на Go. Часть 1
Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Олег, я работаю разработчиком в одной крупной IT-компании и недавно в разговоре со знакомыми логистами, я узнал, что у них в штате работает блокчейн-специалист. Для меня мир логистики был максимально далек от цепочки блоков, как и цепочка блоков от меня, поэтому я решил погрузиться в эту технологию. Прочитав множество статей и несколько книг, я выяснил, что теория с практикой идут рядышком, но понимание того, как же блокчейн работает на самом деле, не пришло, поэтому было решено создать что-то с нуля своими ручками. Нужно понимать, что между наработками, которые я буду рассматривать, и «настоящим» блокчейном есть большая разница: на ранних этапах разработки блокчейн-сеть может иметь низкую производительность, уязвимости и неоптимизированные механизмы консенсуса, которые улучшатся в финальной версии. Но в любом случае этот проект будет основан на ключевых принципах децентрализованных систем. Мой пост будет полезен для таких же новичков, как я, которые имеют некоторый опыт разработки, но с технологией блокчейн не были знакомы или слышали про него краем уха. В этой статье мы рассмотрим, как создать простую приватную сеть блокчейн с использованием языка Go.

@duco @alexis_roussel what makes #Bitcoin the real #shitcoin (along with basically everything that isn't #Monero) is that it's not only #PoW (#ProofOfWork) but also basically #ASIC-based, so that means literal metric tons of #eWaste get created every year producing those.
#Gridcoin has a mix of #ProofOfStake and indirect #ProofOfWork. In order for my node to qualify for one chance of doing PoS a day, I would need around 200 000 GRC, which amounts to either $830 USD, or 240 years of #BOINC grinding in my current computer. Hmm...
Spam is everywhere. If you have an email account, a mailbox, a website with comments, a cellphone, a social media account, a public form, etc. We all know it, it is a plague.
Over the years, there have been multiple attempts to fight spam, with various degrees of success, some more effective than others, some with more side effects, some simple, some complex, some proprietary…

Manche Journale schicken einem, nachdem man für sie begutachtet hat, dann am Ende die Entscheidung und alle Reviews zu, also auch die der anderen Referees!!
In diesem Fall hier war ich Referee 2 und habe ungefähr 2 Seiten geschrieben. Referee 3 hatte ein 2-seitiges PDF abgegeben.

Proof of Stakeとは何かについての解説
Mining bitcoin con computers quantistici. Satoshi contro la fisica, come i miner quantistici potrebbero rendere obsoleti gli ASIC. Le attrezzature quantistiche potrebbero rappresentare una minaccia maggiore per le blockchain rispetto alla decrittazione quantistica.

I believe you are familiar with #blockchains that are based on #ProofOfWork, so it should be sufficient to say that the energy required by #bitcoin is already an estimated 120 Twh annually, surpassing several countries.
While single users may try to calm their conscience by only using a fraction of this (and #ProofMode by pointing to its aggregation mechanism), it's the sheer scaling effect that matters. Merely by using the bitcoin blockchain with others, you'd also be contributing to stabilizing bitcoin, fostering an even wider usage of it, and faster burning of our planet. As an idiom in my language goes: no raindrop wants to be guilty of the flood. But they are.
With respect to the myth that mining takes place in remote regions, fueled by "clean" electricity from Iceland, you might wish to read this, to see what these compounds are doing to their environment:

In short: proof of work is a crime against humanity.
In search of something better, I think I've progressed from Threads to Mastodon (the Fediverse) and now to Nostr real quick.
Quite challenging for a non-tech guy like me (kept me sleepless last night reading up on Nostr) but it's worth the ride- a bumpy one at that. Learned a new technology and new set of jargons even.
The Fediverse is still my "home universe" though. Will not leave #VivaldiSocial. This is just me putting one foot in and get a bit of what the party is all about. :)
And here's my #proofofwork! My npub and Lightning wallet address (yeah, I got all the bells and whistles). :D
