Honestly, I don't understand why they opt for these kind of publicity stunts.
Imagine having a "state of the art" language model that does not follow instructions in enterprise use? Big nope. Even small open weight Chinese language models can follow instructions and not attempt to penetrate through the security of random public services..
We all know that these things are intentionally guided to do pen testing to multiple services, and whatever goes through is posted on the news.. But why not do something more creative?
It's surprisingly good, I switched from OWUI to it.
Supports MCP servers, has chats and history, can run llama.cpp built in tools, and is super light weight.

If you manually add the disks to configurations like AX-line, there is a limit, that may be bypassed if you contact hetzners support, but that'd be expensive compared to the SX line I reckon.
Also, Hetzner's server auction has quite affordable 4x 16tb servers, starting from 63€ 0%VAT, that'd be pretty affordable RAID1- solution, ~1€ per TB/month.
Unlimited traffic on all of the above, and a sidenote: SX line servers have one-off setup fees, server auction has no setup fees.
They're working on no-js support too, but this just had to be put out without it due to the amount of AI crawler bots causing denial of service to normal users.
Doesn't run against Firefox only, it runs against whatever you configure it to.
And also, from personal experience, I can tell you that majority of the AI crawlers have keyword "Mozilla" in the user agent.
Yes, this isn't cloudflare, but I'm pretty sure that's on the Todo list. If not, make an issue to the project please.
The computational requirements on the server side are a less than a fraction of the cost what the bots have to spend, literally. A non-issue. This tool is to combat the denial of service that these bots cause by accessing high cost services, such as git blame on gitlab. My phone can do 100k sha256 sums per second (with single thread), you can safely assume any server to outperform this arm chip, so you'd need so much resources to cause denial of service that you might as well overload the server with traffic instead of one sha256 calculation.
And this isn't really comparable to Tor. This is a self hostable service to sit between your web server/cdn and service that is being attacked by mass crawling.
Yes, Anubis uses proof of work, like some cryptocurrencies do as well, to slow down/mitigate mass scale crawling by making them do expensive computation.
In general, to everyone who finds Yacy as an interesting project, just give it a try!
It's relatively light weight, and having millions of pages indexed does not take that much disk space, in my case: 3.5 million indexed pages is around 200 gigabytes only.
Yacy is far from perfect, and it's an ancient project. But it's still alive and kicking strong!
