There's a lot that could still be improved in #swad, but I don't get that "proof of work" idea out of my mind, so I started a branch to work on it:

github.com/Zirias/swad/pull/1

I really think it makes sense when you want some publicly known "guest login" which is still protected against #bots. Not sure yet whether this will succeed, we will see!

It certainly won't be as "fancy" as #anubis, but do the same thing functionally: Require the client to find a #nonce that, combined with a server-provided #challenge, hashes to something with 'n' leading zeros using #sha256. In contrast to anubis, swad won't have to proxy everything (but rely on nginx' auth_request), and no challenge will be issued when the user logs in with credentials some *other* credentials checker accepts.

“"Improv-brain" relates to LLM systems’ tendency to not challenge input but just roll with it. […] LLMs try to go "yes … and" on whatever you tell them and rarely challenge prompts. Which is why a suboptimal prompt can lead them astray so easily.”
