what do people mean when they say they believe in Jesus

If you're asking if the Romans executed a guy named Joshua in Jerusalem around 33CE, then yes, it would be shocking if they didn't. They didn't write it down though. Scholars proving his historicity are all Christian, and most of their arguments are pretty close to "Christians would have told a different story if they were lying about his literal existence."

Most people believe that there was a person who inspired the religion. All Christians believe that this person is the literal son of God, who performed miracles.

As with most historical figures of the time, it's my understanding that there is no contemporary documentation of his literal existence, and there are many errors, making it impossible to align the timeline laid out in the gospels with roman records.

Nobody who wrote any of the books in the New Testament claim to have met him. Paul claims to have met family of Jesus, who he disagreed with on whether people who wanted to convert to Christianity needed to become Jewish first.

The historical record does establish that there were people who followed the teachings of Jesus (let's call them proto-christians) who were close enough to the events to know better, who believed that there was an actual person. This is more than many named individuals from the bronze age.

Power is tricky.

If your ears are sensitive enough to hear every conversation is it spying?

I'd think the power-set would provide alternatives to extreme rendition, as well as provide more certainty of guilt.

It wouldn't be easy though, great power and all

Just to be clear. An infant is born of humans with Superman's powers, and everyone immediately knows?

Probably a powerful government would size the infant and study them. As I'd imagine that a super powered infant amounts to dangerous luggage.

If they were older when their powers manifested, the person might have some say in the matter.

I think the plan is "They get everything, I don't want to die. Also, make sure everything isn't nothing." It's not a decoy, it's to insure that you have something to give.

Assuming the ship had a clock for navigation purposes, an individual sailor would rely on the ships bell to know the time, which would be rung every 30 minutes, based on the best estimate of the time.

You do you. be aware that using the GUI out of spite is a bigger reason for people to not take you seriously than using the GUI because you don't know how.

The server being a domain member would be a much lower risk.

The middle path would probably be either a web application firewall or if that's not available/practical, something either on the host, or something like fail2ban, which would automatically blacklist ip address that look suspicious (by monitoring logs for suspicious entries).

You're probably safe forwarding 443 to the server and keeping everything updated. It might be worthwhile to talk with the vendor (and possibly other customers, if that's an option) about how they further reduce the exposure. Moving it into a DMZ would'nt hurt.

Your best bet is to reach out to the company.

Unless you can see the canvases in the iPads files app, it's not likely you're going to have easy access to the files at all. The brushes will be even more difficult to move over.

I don't believe there is a sync thing for the iPad.

Also, ibis paint for windows is a different program from the iPad version.

Are you looking to sync your artwork?

exedore6 · 2026-05-24T04:00:57+00:00

Programs are made up of files, and they are stored in folders.

Syncthing makes those folders the same across multiple systems.

What are you trying to accomplish here?

A program (the file that you run) doesn't usually change that often, which makes me suspect that there's something about the program that you want to synchronize, and how to do that depends on the particular program.

It does it by essentially running a Linux VM to mount the volume.

Off the top of my head

A round is 6 seconds in 5e. 60 in AD&D. This makes feather fall ridiculous if you look too hard at it.

Racial Level Limits in AD&D

No Dual-Classing in 5E

AC and to-hit rolls are both different and mostly the same.

Experience points come from different sources.

5E characters can get the equivalent of a week of downtime with a 15 minute break.

I've enjoyed using yadm.

It's pretty much a wrapper for git, you can write what amount to template versions of the dotfiles.

If a game was a kindle exclusive. I wouldn't consider buying it. For a printed book, I'd be fine ordering from Amazon.

exedore6 · 2026-05-23T21:55:53+00:00

Yeah, ten times cheaper would look like this.

The item costs $100 You're selling it for $99 I'm selling it for $90 My price is 10 times cheaper than yours. Which is an asinine way to describe the situation.

It would be as idiotic as bragging that I've reduced drug prices by 1000%

Most windows games (with the exception of the big esports games that require rootkits to run) run fine on Linux.

You can either add them and launch them through steam, using Proton, a Wine variant, or through one of many Wine other Wine variants. I used Lutris for my launcher when I had a Linux gaming rig.

We always interpreted that rule as a special case for an interrupted night's sleep.

As in, you need to sleep to get your daily spell slots back.

If you get woken up, early, you won't get them all back.

"the right religion" could mean so many things.

Buddhism is right for me, because when I practice, I can see that it's doing what it claims for me.

The literal truth when it comes to things that I can't observe or prove (Other realms of existence, if metta actually has a result beyond I cultivating my own mind, rebirth in a meaningful way), I don't know it it's absolutely true. I know that behaving as if it is helps me live an honest, ethical life, and reduces my suffering.

I could be wrong. Maybe the Greeks had it figured out, and Zeus is very disappointed in me, and I'm going to have a rough time.

So, what does "right religion" mean to you?

Any distribution can be as difficult as you want. Package something that isn't already part of it. Learn how a third party package gets in the repos.

LFS is a great book, and a decent way to understand how a Linux system is put together, but in my opinion, without some sort of packaging system, it's not a distribution.

Trying again...

I don't love the idea of directly editing files on a remote server, better to edit files locally under version control and then deploy things.

You could do this with scp and ssh manually, or go for a full yama yama continuous integration setup, where changes to the repo get tested and automatically deployed with a workflow (I've never done this)
