[$] Anubis sends AI scraperbots to a well-deserved fate

Few, if any, web sites or web-based services have gone unscathed by
the locust-like hordes of AI crawlers looking to consume (and then
re-consume) all of the world's content. The Anubis project is designed to
provide a first line of defense that blocks mindless bots—while
granting real users access to sites without too much hassle. Anubis is
a young project, not even a year old. However, its development is
moving quickly, and the project seems to be enjoying rapid
adoption. The most recent release of Anubis, version
1.20.0, includes a feature that many users have been interested in
since the project launched: support for challenging clients without
requiring users to have JavaScript turned on.
