> We use a stack consisting of Apache2, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB to host the web applications.

Oh hey, that’s a pretty utilitarian stack and I’m happy to see MariaDB be used out there.

Anubis is also really cool, I do imagine that proof of work might become more prevalent in the future to deal with the sheer amount of bots and bad actors (shame that they exist) out there, albeit in the case of hijacked devices it might just slow them down, hopefully to a manageable degree, instead of IP banning them altogether.

I do wonder if we’ll ever see HTTP only versions of PoW too, not just JS based options, though that might need to be a web standard or something.
