At work I was asked by a different team how we can deal with bots, because someone in my team remembered that I knew how to do it.

I reluctantly suggested Anubis because I got shit for it last time, This is the URL https://anubis.techaro.lol/

This is the 2nd and last time I will ever recommend Anubis anywhere at work to deal with bots because of how unprofessional, un-serious and weird others perceive it.

The mascot being a ~10 year old “cutsie” anime cat girl is weird in a work setting.
I will never put myself in a situation again where I have to explain that it’s not weird to anyone again, same for that URL.

What is a professional looking open-source alternative to Anubis?

    Alternately, Super Serious humourless douchebags pretending to be All Grown Up and overlooking powerful functionality because they don’t like the picture on the box.

    Some people need to get over their obsession with appearance and face.

      The picture on the box matters, its absurd thinking it doesn’t

      Reducto absurdum: Would you buy a car with a big dick and balls for a logo, but you can pay extra to have it removed?

        I mean, I’d look at the specs first. Because it’s just a logo. Show me the numbers that actually matter.

        That said, there are imagery that would give me pause, obviously. I suspect we’d just draw the line in very different places.

        If it harms nobody, let people have fun.

          I am not the problem, I don’t care about the mascot.

          It’s incorporating it at work that is the issue.

          Yes you might buy a car with a dick and balls logo for personal use, but would you try to convince your managers to buy it for the company?

        Have you ever seen corporate branded truck nuts? Because I have, and those companies paid to add it in.
