Pleased to share a page and explainer for the AI tarpit project Science is Poetry, with legal statement, rationale(s), and a few deployment notes:
https://julianoliver.com/projects/science-is-poetry/
The page may grow a bit. Just wanted to get it out the door.
@JulianOliver do you want some subdomains on https://nein.wtf? :)
@JulianOliver they are, A and AAAA records already set up
@computersandblues Ahh, so good. I'll add them first thing tomorrow. It's evening here. Will let you know as soon as I do :-)
@JulianOliver this is the coolest thing I've seen all year, thank you for sharing and making this 
@JulianOliver also <3 the web design. gotta serve the bots something nice.
@JulianOliver Not that my little blog would really contribute much to the traffic, but how much traffic can you handle? Is there a way to self-host like with Nepenthes? I worry that you are potentially taking on a massive load for the rest of us.
@cybervegan Thank you very much, very kind. It all resides in a Debian GNU/Linux qcow2 image but I may repackage it for Alpine such that it could be more readily distributable, then quick to plug into a reverse proxy (Caddy, Nginx, Apache2).
However right now things are in good shape so far as load. It is on a very powerful server and not even near 15% of all cores, plenty or phys mem available too. So it can take on a lot more before a pressing need for more instances.
@JulianOliver Ok, appreciate your work, and the resources you are putting into it - bandwidth and electricity is not free even if you had been gifted the hardware. I suspect it will turn into an arms race, but I'm sure you're more than aware of that!
I'm running my static HTML blog on FreeBSD, on a microserver, using nginx, so a qcow2 image probably wouldn't be practical for me - I know that's a bit rare, but web server is a secondary function of this machine. Looks like Qemu is available for FBSD, so maybe I could go that route (when I've managed to get out of autistic burnout that is).
Thanks once again. I'm going to try to add a link to SIP to my blog template and see what happens. My access.log has been filling up with AI bots, so will be interesting to see how much it affects that.
@cybervegan FreeBSD is very nice.
Qemu/KVM with host passthrough mode for your hardware would be the first thing to look into.
I'm paying for the server out of my own quiver but may look to take donations for it at some point.
(can relate to the brain-ness)
@JulianOliver The colors and Netscape logo are winning.
