Testing anubis to prevent LLM bots from taking down source.puri.sm

Hi, You can see a good explanation of the problem at https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/17/2025-03-17-Stop-externalizing-your-costs-... and https://gitlab.gnome.org already deployed anubis (https://anubis.techaro.lol/). Even though the server spec was upgraded last week, we still see frequent down times when the service is not accessible for up to 2 minutes or sometimes 5 minutes. So we are considering to deploy anubis on https://source.puri.sm as well. **We have setup anubis on https://source-anubis.puri.sm/ please test this and give feedback** so we can deploy it on https://source.puri.sm as well. This would mean you will need a recent web browser with javascript to access the web interface (git clone/pull over https should not be affected). This is a difficult decision but adding more and more processing power to the server or keep suffering from the frequent down times / delayed responses is not a reasonable option either. Please reach out to us if you have other ideas. Thanks Praveen

Anubis is now deployed on https://source.puri.sm as well. Thanks to everyone who tested and provided feedback in https://forums.puri.sm/t/testing-anubis-to-prevent-llm-bots-from-taking-down... If you notice any problems, please let us know.
