Website Anti-Scraping: Anubis 1.19.1 Deployed

2025-06-13

This website uses Anubis (version 1.19.1), an anti-scraping system, to combat the server overload caused by aggressive scraping from AI companies. Anubis employs a Proof-of-Work mechanism similar to Hashcash; small-scale scraping is negligible, but large-scale scraping becomes significantly more expensive. This is a temporary solution; the ultimate goal is to identify and block malicious bots (e.g., headless browsers) to avoid impacting legitimate users. Please ensure JavaScript is enabled and plugins like JShelter are disabled for this website.

OSI's 2025 Election: Transparency Crisis Shakes Open Source Trust

2025-04-25

The Open Source Initiative (OSI)'s 2025 board elections are embroiled in controversy. OSI removed votes for three candidates after the voting period, severely damaging its credibility. The core issue involves a reform platform pushed by three candidates (including a former OSI director) proposing to repeal the newly adopted Open Source AI Definition and revise the board member agreement. OSI's last-minute requirement for candidates to sign the agreement, with a short deadline, disqualified some candidates. Critics claim this violates election procedures, lacks transparency, and suggests a conflict of interest. Community speculation about OSI's motives and potential corruption has intensified, leading to demands for the release of unaltered election results to restore trust and credibility.
