Some apps disabled because security concerns

Today I found some kind of ingress weird and unexpected traffic to one of my servers -where gemini server is running- and unfortunately I ended on the middle of a denial of service attack :-(

After some time expended analyzing pf logs I found that the weird traffic was coming from a Chinese ip block, which is totally unexpected to me.

I don't know why but the target of the denial of service was two gemini applications and not the server itself (wtf) so I've disabled both 'kWh' and 'Voyager Mission Status' applications because security concerns.

I suspect that the problem itself was some python libraries that I've used in the applications, so I decided to rewrite both applications in another safe/trusted language.

Sorry for the inconvenience! :-(
