My university uses #Geoblocking of known evil countries.

#Geoblocking is a very sensible and appropriate security measure, as it ensures that

only those with evil and hostile intentions get to your sites -
because for those, geoblocking is easy to circumvent -

while all normal naive believers in global connectivity - such as scientists, academics, students - are left out.

I commend the use of #geoblock

Very happy to be working with my friends and colleagues in #Nepal again.
Our oldest memories go back nearly 20 years, when we deployed #wifi in the #himalaya - two old pictures included.

#mastodon presence in #Nepal still small (i guess) (pls shout if you are in Nepal!)

and anyway this post would be invisible to them, as my university has a #geoblock against all of Nepal ... duh :(

"Cornell Tech has received more than $7 million from Schmidt Sciences and NASA to upgrade arXiv, an open-access research repository of more than 2.8 million articles. "

It's great news for arXiv. I'm just wondering why they want actually move to the cloud:

"finish migrating to cloud infrastructure"

NREN are providing access for educational networks, I hope the cloud mentioned there is operated by a NREN operator.

This week, we joined the #RTISummit2025 in Copenhagen to highlight the role of GÉANT and our #NREN community in supporting research and innovation across Europe.

We were part of a joint booth together with the European e-Infrastructures Assembly: EGI Foundation, EUDAT, @OpenAIRE, & PRACE, showcasing how we work together to support European research, education, and innovation.

👏 Thank you to the event organisers & to all who joined us at the booth.
