Better known as @jforseth210@rcsocial.net on Mastodon, I'm a Catholic and a programmer. I'm interested in Linux and self hosting, agriculture, sometimes biking and skiing. No weird economic or political philosophies. Trying to follow my God and love my neighbor as myself. Sometimes successfully.

Life hack: If you've lost a Bluetooth earbud, but it's still in range, you can try playing something at max volume, but if you can't hear that, a high pitched sine wave from a site like https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ is audible from a surprisingly long ways.

"Don't forget to turn off your DNS". Thank you, phone keyboard, for that suggestion. a) My friends are normal, and don't run DNS servers at all b) if my friends did run DNS servers, they'd be normal, and leave them running.

I thought the whole point of podcasters was to interview people who *do* have interesting things to say.

Oh, I meant for web devs who implement 2fa, and decide to roll their own email or SMS based thing instead for some reason.

I don't know who needs to hear this but: Just use TOTP.

Don't send me a text, don't email me. Just. use. TOTP.

If you want to get fancy, do passkeys or Yubikeys or whatever, but TOTP is fine.

Haven't seen anyone pull this #xkcd out for #ai yet. But yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

LLMs don't have a big enough context window to understand a single codebase, but it's supposed to understand my whole life?

Protip: If you mess up your DNS config bad enough, you can skip steps 1 & 2. Good luck fixing it though!

I oppose the circumnavigation of the Bible by traditions that ignore what is said in the Bible like this:

1 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV “This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

2. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4. One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5. (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

6. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.”

Here's a Vatican translation:

Chapter 3

1

1 This saying is trustworthy: 2 whoever aspires to the office of bishop desires a noble task.

2

Therefore, a bishop must be irreproachable, married only once, temperate, self-controlled, decent, hospitable, able to teach,

3

not a drunkard, not aggressive, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money.

4

He must manage his own household well, keeping his children under control with perfect dignity;

5

for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he take care of the church of God?

6

He should not be a recent convert, so that he may not become conceited and thus incur the devil's punishment. 3

7

He must also have a good reputation among outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, the devil's trap.

Wait, I'm confused. You're acknowledging that Scripture says we need bishops?

Are you saying that the problem is that the Catholic church fails to live up to these standards? That's true, the church is made up of sinners. But you're suggesting that the solution is to... do away with the office of bishop (that Scripture tells us is important and good).

I must be misunderstanding the point you're trying to make here...

Although, there is material that *is* appropriate for adults but not children. I can't come up with great examples, but say, commentary on certain parts of the Old Testament or NFP stuff? Any thoughts on these?

For my two cents, this still doesn't call for gov't censorship, but maybe some kind of browser-based parental controls? A site could send a header or something with the recommended age, that the owner of the device could opt into? Then mom or dad says the user of this device/account was born on this date. Don't allow these kinds of content without parental approval.

Of course not, but you have to be able to make some generalizations. I'm sure Muslims think about sin very differently than athiests. And Sunni and Shia Muslims probably have their own differences.

And Protestants think about it differently than Catholics. And Calvinists differently than Lutherans. And on, and on until you get to individual people. That nuance is important, but in this case it mostly just muddys the waters.

What does hooking a #wallet up to Nostr *actually* do? I don't really want to use Nostr to send/recieve money. Everyone's always talking about #zaps and #sats though...

Does anyone have legal/ethical ways of obtaining media for #jellyfin? Seems like a cool project, but I can't really justify piracy. Anything good in the public domain?

Question from a newbie. I followed a bunch of hashtags in #nostter, now I can't see a list of the ones I'm following, and I don't appear to be following them in other clients. Is there a more portable way of doing this? #asknostr
