   Giant Corporations™ are scraping my little git server to feed their ever-hungry, planet-destroying plagiarism machines.

   So now, instead of getting my code, they get a 10GB treat.

   Fucking THIEVES.

     I love this... Yes it's futile, Yes it's juvenile, and not that likely to cause them any real grief.. but the concept is terrific...

     How could we make it 10Petabytes,? or maybe create a routine that generates "n" Pbytes as a stream that would be difficult to terminate? Like some continuous JSON file... that never ends...

     @j Thanks for that - you just reminded me to setup some Cloudflare transform and page rules to do the same thing; been meaning to do it for ages. @daedalus
