Reminds me of the time somebody namedropped a hobbyist's project on prime time national radio in the UK. Their project was a train timetable tracker website, made because the official resource didn't work too well. The site went down nearly instantly 🤣

Matthew 23:29-33 ESV

[29] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, [30] saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ [31] Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. [32] Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. [33] You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?

Matthew 25:41-46 ESV

[41] “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. [42] For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, [43] I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ [44] Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ [45] Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ [46] And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Revelation 20:12-15 ESV

[12] And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. [13] And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. [14] Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. [15] And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Seems pretty clear, although you have to join the dots between verses to get the full thing. I have looked into other religions and Christianity seems the most probable by a mile.

I wish I was more Christlike.

No matter what you believe about Christianity, you can't deny that He is a pretty good role model.

I always considered myself more conservative and an evangelical Christian. Yet I am upset at and also very suspicious of this blind support for Israel. Like it's actually getting ridiculous at this point. I even changed the title as it's literally just a watermelon. Yet all sorts of outlets are reporting on it being "anti semitic" and "erases israel". It's like a weird cancel culture is going on.

If you also want to know my opinion as an evangelical, I cannot find any biblical justification for the existence of this "state of israel".

I've grown up with this poster and it's only now that I realise Hitler's handle is a salute

I keep having cyclists zooming past me at red lights on pedestrian crossings all of the time

Poland - Germany border. Greenwich meridian as well. Maybe the antimeridian, too. I like lines on maps.

Like - what do I write in the card? What the hell do I get them? They come up so quickly as well.

 

Just listened to the BBC Radio Ulster interview with the Deputy First Minister for Northern Ireland, Emma Little-Pengelly. I think it was a good response as she was condemning violence, but also acknowledging the problem and catalyst (a lack of social housing) and started talking about how she'll try and work to create more social housing so people aren't displaced by migration, etc. I think this was a common sense approach instead of just simply encouraging violence or declaring war on the rioters, which I feel like would just make things worse.

It is true, we should expand social housing. I think everyone can agree with that.

 

Hi, I'm running a ubuntu based backup server. And was wondering if there's a simple way to encrypt my drives in case they get swiped or something by a break in. But also in a way that the computer can be restarted and decrypt the drive without me needing to stick a key in everytime. Any ideas? It seems basic but I'm not an expert on all these newfangled encryption terminology, so would like something idiot proof (by idiot proof, not idiot enough to lose/forget the decryption key)
