Difficulty: 6, Speed: 8.689kH/s
Are you using a shady VPN or so? It is very unlikely that lemmy.ml defaults to difficulty 6 for all visitors. There is likely something that makes your connection look shady so that you get pre-sorted to the bad pile.
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.
The speed of the CPU is entirely irrelevant to what I wrote 🤷
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.
