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?
Edit: No I can't just send my colleges here https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper The issue is they find the Mascot and domain weird, they will still run into both.
My Goal: Recommend a Open-Source bot protection tool
The Issue: When I send my coworkers to https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper they find the mascot and URL weird.
Result: They don't see Anubis as a serious tool and turn away from it
What is a professional looking open-source alternative to Anubis?
"Look, we don't need to use Photoshop for our shop. There's an open source option that matches our use case perfectly."
"What's it called?"
"Gnu Image Manipulation Program."
"That's an awfully long name. They should have a shorter one that's less of a mouthful to say."
"...they do not."
Krita’s pretty close, but unfortunately not quite as close as the program our friend Wilber represents :’)
GIMP blows anyway.
Strawman
I dunno, that was more of a joke to me?
The joke being GIMP is not a work friendly name.
Yesssssss?
Hey that's not a real strawman! That's Old Man Harris!
