Meetings aren’t a scale problem, they’re a clarity problem dressed up as collaboration.

.htaccess diverts suspicious paths (e.g., /.git, /wp-login) to decoy.php and forces decoy.zip downloads (10GB), so scanners hitting common “secret” files never touch real content and get stuck downloading a huge dummy archive.
decoy.php mimics whatever sensitive file was requested by endless streaming of fake config/log/SQL data, keeping bots busy while revealing nothing.
Google API was not matching url for permission. fixed, thanks!

For me, I don't come up with them, they come to me.
The trick is letting them find me.
Do stuff you like, hang out with people, go places.
