It's an ESP32 board used as sleep trainer for children.

Uses colors, images, and arcs to help them understand what time it is.

Full prototype is done but waiting for 3d printed enclosures.

apple still needs to review it. That's why I said "literally just now".

I wasn't sure you'd see the comment here (didn't know you posted it yourself). Was just trying to connect to learn from you.

The project is using PurpleAir data.

Footer should say "Data from PurpleAir API" instead of "Data from SF Microclimates API"...

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

When execs dominate decisions, it’s usually because the org failed to make customer truth unavoidable.

Most process exists to protect careers, not outcomes.

Understanding why something exists doesn’t make it justified or effective.

I always had fail2ban but a while back I wanted to set up something juicier...

.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.
