Description : Lightweight garbage generator used to poison generative AI crawlers
iocaine is a garbage text generator relying on Markov chains, with
resource usage that does not grow significantly even when serving
million of pages of text in a same day.
Its main use is to serve garbage text to generative AI crawler bots,
with three goals in mind:
- - "poisoning" the generative AI databases;
- - preventing the theft of actual human-written texts;
- - avoiding other pages with a higher resource costs from being hammered
by these bots.
Here is an example setup relying on iocaine and nginx:
https://notes.vv221.fr/blackhole.xhtml
And here is an example iocaine endpoint, serving only garbage text:
http://blackhole.vv222.fr/
(it can safely be visited by humans, unlike proof-of-work options it
does not rely on wasting resources)
While the setup proposed above rely on a manual installation of iocaine
through cargo, and does not illustrate future updates, it would be much
nicer to have it available directly from the Debian archive so its
installation and updates could be delegated to apt.

Gergely Nagy, I included you in copy to this e-mail so you know about
this request to package iocaine for Debian, but you don’t have to do
anything about it.
This e-mail is targeted at current Debian packagers, especially the ones
with experience in packaging Rust software.
