Recently I found that quite a few of my #Twitter and #Mastodon followers are working in high-performance #computing (HPC). At first I was surprised because I’m not a #HPC person, even if I love high performance computers. Then I realized that there are quite few overlaps, and one of my best friends is also deeply involved in HPC. My work, #logging, is also a fundamental part of HPC environments.

@Руслан Местный @Rоссийская🐻Fедерация Hi, this is a known issue we've been having. The first step in remediation is to update your node to version 2023.01 at least. Then add two entries in your server pattern block list from the console like this:
bin/console serverblock add "*.activitypub-troll.cf" "Spam"
bin/console serverblock add "*.gab.best" "Spam"This should reduce the amount of worker tasks.
Then you can run the following SQL queries to clean up your database:
DELETE FROM `gserver` WHERE `nurl` LIKE '%.activitypub-troll.cf' OR `nurl` LIKE '%.gab.best'This query will take about an hour to complete.
I interviewed Michelle Yeoh a few years ago about #StarTrekDiscovery and I mentioned offhand that I'd written an article about what seeing her use her accent on the bridge of a starship meant to me.
She stopped and said "Wait, that was YOU?"
And then proceeded to talk about how much that article had meant to HER and how it contributed to the success of the show.
I can't think about it without crying.
