Anubis provides protection against bots scraping websites and DDoSing projects.

This blog post is about Xe’s reasoning for originally only providing docker packages and their work to provide native packages.

    If you use Anubis for free, he asks that you keep the girl on for marketing purposes.

    If you pay / support the project, you can remove it.

    Honestly, it’s a good way to encourage people to pay up because some people absolutely hate it.

        Do you just assume that any cartoon character is underaged? There’s literally no indication that that character is in any way underaged whatsoever, it appears to be a standard chibi-style depiction of a generic adult.

        I think you may need to consult a therapist or other mental health professional if literally every depiction of a cartoon character in a Chibi art style causes you to see pedophilia

        It’s not making it worse. They like anime, so they have an anime girl as the mascot; a very tame one too.

        But some people freak out about it.

        The fuck? There is nothing sexual about the character at all. Calling it pedophilic says a whole lot more about you than the software.

        I may be missing some context here. How is it creepy to have a child as the mascot of your software? I just checked the Anubis website and didn’t see any sexualization.

          I don’t even see a child character? I feel like I’m missing something here but I went and checked the ffmpeg documentation because they are using Anubis and it appears to just be a generic chibi Style character that looks to be maybe early twenties style adult.
