@apinae That’s helpful, thank you!
Good results so far.. some server admins told us to fuck off and wouldn't even listen. But quite a few so far have told me we are now removed from the block list. Several others are reviewing our timeline and will make a decision.
I expect many instances wont listen since they never bothered to fact check the accusations in the first place. But the fact that in less than an hour many have already agreed to unblock us is enough for me to consider this a successful interaction.

@statsguy Yes, to varying degrees, for all of those.

One of the worrying issues when validating code, scientific code in particular, is the use of undocumented numeric literals, more popularly known as Magic Numbers. The lack of documentation complicates the V&V process; sometimes the meaning of a number is obvious from context but often it's not. What should be an exercise checking that a value is appropriate turns into a search for what that value represents.

"Scientology and the Aftermath" helped to expose #Scientology for what it is. It would be nice to have a series do the same for the evangelical fundamentalist Christianity that thrives at mega-churches throughout the U.S. Sort of like a Jesus Camp series that sticks the horror in viewers' faces until they decide that it is no longer acceptable. #christian #ChristianNationalism #television
@jumile 16GB? Synology claims only 4GB on top of the hardwired 4GB is supported. 🤔
That's very helpful, though! I may pick your brains more later...
Autistic burnout can be much more than simply being exhausted. It can include feeling overwhelmed or having constant anxiety.😞
You may find your special interests are no longer appealing or that you feel irritable all the time.😒
Have you experienced burnout?
@jumile Excellent, thanks! Already shortlisted. 😀 Did you upgrade the RAM (or buy with extra installed)? Heard vague 'horror' stories about off-brand modules causing "issues", but can't actually find anyone saying anything concrete to that effect, but a Crucial 4GB DIMM is < £20.

@apinae Can you recommend a model? Looking at the DS920+ and DS420+, both seem like good options.

Looking for recommendations for a new home #NAS. Our current #WesternDigital one has reached EOL, so we're looking for something up-to-date to replace it:
* 4+ bays (with or without drives)
* RAID (any scheme, just not JBOD)
* Gigabit ethernet (x2 pref.)
* SSH *and* web interface
* ext4 (pref.)
* 2GB+ RAM (expandable++!)
* quiet & low-power standby
* the faster the better, obvs!
Burned badly by #QNAP in the past, so 👎
Any input much appreciated! TIA!
The world is really making it hard for us writers of #dystopian fiction to compete right now. FFS.
