Antonino Zichichi, one of the leading Italian figures in high-energy physics, passed away today, Monday 9 February, at the age of 96.

Many major projects in international physics are linked to his name: the LEP at CERN projects, the HERA project at DESY, and the INFN National Gran Sasso Laboratory.

My bad, yes I didn't declare it:

listen[::]443 ssl http2;

thank you.

Re:Block AI bots crawlers on Nginx on Saturday February 15, 2025 @04:44PM (#43062656)
Using Chrome on a mac, access logs say http 1.1 is accessing the domain. Nothing in front of Ngnix, but I'm wondering if I have the http 2 module on Nginx...

mmm, blocking everything not http/2.0 is also blocking legit browser, while blocking http/1.0 does not block bots (at least not ChatGPT); blocking non-browsers with $http_sec_fetch_mode works as expected.
Re:Block AI bots crawlers on Nginx on Saturday February 15, 2025 @02:39PM (#43061558)
Thanks. I'll give it a try with the != HTTP/2.0 method.
Re:Block AI bots crawlers on Nginx on Saturday February 15, 2025 @09:39AM (#43058832)
I've been tinkering with a combined solution to block AI bots from crawling my website, it's a robots.txt file (I know, they don't care about it) and a Nginx directive (it works for Ngnix web servers, not if you are on Apache).

These and other anthropological elements are very well described by Esther Gokhale as the basis of her method (which has been a life changer, at least for me).

You can find more on her website or book "8 Steps to a pan-free back".

I guess the good stuff is private and not on Showcase - quite poor quality here.
