I’d like to third this question.

He’ll probably make a deal with the black hole and find a way out. He is scary!

There are clear signs like massive ping rates, downloads, etc. Anubis helps block a lot of them, btut more turn up all the time.

Sci hub doesn’t have a lot of papers after 2018. Almost everything after 2024 isn’t available there.

Any other place I can get papers?

If you see my old posts, you’ll see that I had this exact concern.

I have since learnt that pulling a DDoS attack is actually quite resource intensive / expensive to the deployer as well, and unless you believe that you are being targeted because of something very valuable you host or that you have a technically inclined enemy who is specifically out to get you, you should be fine. Have a good think about your threat model.

With regard to bots, scrapers and the likes, yes, they are a real pain. That can be tackled with Anubis + BadBotBlocker + Fail2Ban + some custom rate limits.

I assume you are a lot more experienced than me based on the number of things you have listed to have self hosted. I feel a well configured reverse proxy with the tools I suggested will take care of 95% of all your not and scraper related worries.

Any molecular biologists here?

To someone with half-baked knowledge on CRISPR, how are they actually getting the Cas enzyme and plasmid into the human cancer cell?

I’m sorry, could you rephrase that? I think there are a few typos in your post.

How do you even protect yourself and your kids from this? Maybe I can mask up, but I can’t expect my partner or her kids to do the same.

Here is the wiki page that describes the experiment.
