I have a homelab at example.com. It has a nice little "homepage" for welcomed users at authentik.example.com. All is good and well, but bots being bots, they still hammer example.com even though there's nothing there.

I thought about slapping an empty page with Google Analytics there so that, at least, some of them would contribute something. Or maybe a black hole, but I don't want to accidentally block unsuspecting family members. I thought about redirecting to authentik.example.com, but I don't want to directly give away that I have Authentik there, even if they can know easily otherwise. Anyway.

What kind of fun little prank can be set for visitors you didn't welcome?
