Aaron*KICKS DOOR DOWN*
Hey everyone! Hate AI web crawlers? Have some spare CPU cycles you want to use to punish them?
Meet Nepenthes!

This little guy runs nicely on low power hardware, and generates an infinite maze of what appear to be static files with no exit links. Web crawlers will merrily hop right in and just .... get stuck in there! Optional randomized delay to waste their time and conserve your CPU, optional markovbabble to poison large language models.
