Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it is already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

Description:
Anubis is a web proxy that protects upstream resources from scraper bots by using a short hash-based proof-of-work challenge. It "weighs the soul of your connection" to determine if you're a legitimate user or an automated bot. Anubis serves as a protective layer for websites that are being aggressively scraped by AI bots and other automated systems that don't respect robots.txt standards. It provides an alternative to services like Cloudflare when those options aren't available or desired. The proof-of-work system requires clients to solve a computational challenge before accessing protected content, effectively deterring most automated scrapers while allowing legitimate users through with minimal disruption. It should be noted that Anubis may cause problems for accessibility of protected websites, potentially confusing screen readers for blind users, or other problems for assisted interaction. Please consider carefully.
