Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Im struggling to find it, but theres like an “AI tarpit” that causes scrapers to get stuck. something like that? Im sure I saw it posted on lemmy recently. hopefully someone can link it
I did find this github link as the first search result, looks interesting, thanks for letting me know the term "tar pit".
I don't quiet understand how this is deployed. Hosting this behind a dedicated subdomain or path kind of defeats the purpose as the bots are still able to access the actual website no problem.
If you’re looking to stop them from wasting your traffic, do not use a tarpit. The whole point of it is that it makes the scraper get stuck on your server forever. That means you pay for the traffic the scraper uses, and it will continually rack up those charges until the people running it wise up and ban your server. The question you gotta ask yourself is, who has more money, you or the massive AI corp?
Tarpits are the dumbest bit of anti-AI tech to come out yet.
there is also https://forge.hackers.town/hackers.town/nepenthes
Now I just want to host a web page and expose it with nepenthes...
First, because I'm a big fan of carnivorous plants.
Second, because it let's you poison LLMs, AI and fuck with their data.
Lastly, because I can do my part and say F#CK Y0U to those privacy data hungry a$$holes !
I don't even expose anything directly to the web (always accessible through a tunnel like wireguard) or have any important data to protect from AI or LLMs. But just giving the opportunity to fuck with them while they continuously harvest data from everyone is something I was already thinking off but didn't knew how.
Thanks for the link !
