No clue, also not a chemist. I would probably just say “atom” or “neutral molecule” instead.

You gave it a generous amount of your time. I’d say if you don’t like it in the first few episodes it might not be for you. I was hooked almost immediately.

Welp, I guess we didn’t need a terrorist attack to justify war with Iran after all.
- Comment on Your TV Is Spying On You 1 month ago:
Does anyone know if there’s a domain blocklist for smart TV telemetry? If so, I could easily put it into my DNS server, like I already do for ads.
I’d like to continue using my streaming apps without resorting to yet another device. I have an HTPC that runs KODI but I think it’d be a pain to replace all of my streaming apps.

I’m only familiar with “spectrum” from linear algebra (spectral theory), but I’m not sure that’s how people intend to use the word “spectrum” in this context haha.

I’m perfectly happen to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again! 2 months ago:
My biggest shortcoming at the moment is my NAS is also my gaming PC. It’s pretty inefficient to have that on all the time. But I haven’t had the time to build a dedicated NAS.

ntopng has all of that. I’m currently hosting it on my home router.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I agree and at this point I think I’m just making a semantic argument. To me, “Nazi sympathizer” implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I’m not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it’s worth drawing a boundary between “people that share Nazi beliefs” and “people that tolerate Nazis”, and so I find it a little careless to use “Nazi sympathizer” as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.

Not my actual favorite, but it’s very high on my list, and I didn’t see it posted yet.

I agree that Vaxyr has a terrible record with community-building and tolerates bullying.
I don’t think it’s fair to call him a Nazi sympathizer, based on the linked screenshots. He never said he espouses the ideology, he just said he wouldn’t blanket ban Nazis from his server. Obviously that’s a bad take, but it’s not the same as being a Nazi sympathizer.
