Must read : ‹Like those on the NIH campus who spoke with Science, many of the agency’s former leaders are also not optimistic about the next 100 days, or the rest of Trump’s term. Geneticist Francis Collins, NIH director from 2009 to 2021 who abruptly retired in late February and closed his NIH lab, is one. “Reckless decisions will disrupt a noble institution with a stunningly positive track record, drive young scientists to leave the country, and damage the future health of the nation."›

What you quickly learn when you tune your #fail2ban on a web server by keeping an eye on #404 failed requests: keep those .env and .git/ out of your production file system tree 🤣. Ban rules are now so extensive that >99% hacking IPs are banned on first or second hit.
A very discrete web server with zero incoming links anywhere, it gets 30-80 new bans daily (even though bans are permanent). Funnily enough these numbers plummet every Sunday, seemingly a day off for wannabe #hackers...

Autre thème qui me tien à cœur c'est cette opposition, artificielle, fausse, trompeuse, entre ce qui serait la "médecine occidentale" et le reste ("médecine naturelle", "médecine chinoise", etc.)
