Post #2587299

As an experiment, today I setup an instance of #Nepenthes in a #VPS. It is a poisoning #tarpit intended for crawlers that scrape data for #LLMs. It will generate endless linked pages with randomly generated content. Interestingly, just minutes after deployment, the #OpenAI crawler showed up. Since then, it has been happily eating all the crap thrown at it. I know this is a tiny effort against one of the most toxic industries in history, but I love the feeling of fighting back even if it is almost symbolic. https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
