The speed of the CPU is entire relevant to Anubis though. The faster the CPU the faster it does the POW, and the faster it lets you in. And OP isn't alone in it making your machine do a lot of work to get in.
Unable to access lemmy.ml from my desktop. Anubis bot protection takes 36 minutes and then fails. CPU is Intel Celeron G530 from 2011.
OPs CPU is an absolute potato. My work laptop has a 13th gen Core i9 and it took about 10 seconds to get through at ~700kH/s and that pegged my CPU the entire time. And according to geekbench my CPU is 800% faster single core and 2400% faster multi. Anubis, and any proof of work blocker is just not friendly to old hardware.
I just tested on my M4 Max machine which absolutely destroys the i9 and it still took about 10 seconds of churning away almost full power to get through. Neither of these machines should be flagged in any way shape or form as bots or needing that deep of an inspection.
I’ve only ever once paid someone to change my oil, and that was because I physically couldn’t do it. A filter is less than $10 and 5 quarts of full synthetic is less than 30. The whole job takes longer to find all my tools than to just do it.
I really want to go AV1 too. Most of what I play is airplayed from my ipad to whatever so I only need my iPad to support it. But I'm not buying an iPad air just to airplay AV1.
But H265 has been prevalent for about 10 years now so basically any smart TV made in the last 3 years should support it. And if yours don't then any el cheapo smart tv stick should.
You don’t even necessarily need to delete either. If you have a ton of H.264 video you could convert it to 265 or AV1 with minimal quality loss, but huge space savings.
Does the machine have thunderbolt? You can put a fast NVME SSD into a thunderbolt/USB 4 40gbit enclosure and write basically as fast as the SSD can.
Even a normal USB 3 10/20gbit adapter will be infinitely faster than any USB stick. They put the worst flash imagineable into USB drives. Sure they read fast, but outside of their cache they’re painfully slow.
If you really insist on a USB “thumb stick” I’ve had good luck with the “SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive” they write infinitely faster than most junk you’ll find.
Vinyl just wears out over time as you use them. CDs aren’t really affected by use.
