But how do you authenticate to your secret manager? How do you prevent evil scripts from also doing this?

  • OpenTyrian (likely available in your package manager)

It's not so much that I believe it 'by default'. Rather, when I've examined the historical case for the resurrection, the arguments that it really happened seem stronger than the arguments that it was a hoax, or a mass hallucination, or that he fainted etc.

You can also type ZZ (uppercase, so hold Shift) to write and quit. But for all of the above you have to be in normal mode, so if it doesn't work, try pressing Esc first.

Reformed Christian. I was raised in a Christian family, and always believed in the basic concepts of God, heaven, hell, etc. But I mistakenly thought Christianity was about trying to be "good enough" for God until my mid teens. Around this time I realised that I couldn't be perfect, which was super distressing for a time. But then I read Ephesians 2:8-9 which says:

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

This was a big relief, as it meant that I didn't need to rely on trying to be good enough for God. I just needed to accept God's free gift of salvation. That's the moment I would say I became a Christian.

Since then, I've had times where I've questioned it all, but I always come back to the resurrection of Jesus. I find the non-miraculous explanations of the resurrection account to be so implausible that it makes more sense to accept that it's a historical fact. And if the resurrection's true, then it makes sense to believe the rest of it as well.

Use RSS. Find good independent blogs which meet your standards of good open web content and subscribe to them. Some places to look:

Also, start your own website/blog and link to other websites and blogs.

Depends what you're trying to learn, and how much of a beginner you are. If you want to learn the shell, try the Software Carpentry tutorials:

If you know the basics, you might try honing your skills with CLI Mystery (murder mystery puzzle).

You'll probably want to learn how to use the following:

  • SSH
  • Command-line text editor. Choose one of the following:

The final tip is: It's usually better in the long run to spend 2 hours reading the documentation than 2 minutes searching the web. Reading the documentation helps you to understand the big picture, and gives you a much better foundation. Of course, if you're reading the documentation and don't understand something, searching the web is an OK way to figure it out.

Christians shouldn't be surprised to be hated. It's right there in 1 John 3:13:

Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.

But Christians should make sure they are hated for the right reasons (unpopular beliefs), rather than the wrong reasons (lack of kindness and love). On behalf of Christians I am sorry for times when we have allowed fear, prejudice, hysteria and selfishness to stop us from loving those we disagree with, or those we don't understand.

I am a conservative Christian, so I am certain there is much we disagree on. But Christians everywhere, myself included, need to remember to love all people, despite our disagreements, as we are encouraged to do in Mat 5:43-48 and Rom 12:9-21.

It worked, but it was slow and dropped packets sometimes. I think the next team switched to Java. I met with them and walked them through the code and suggested they try a different approach. Hopefully they did!

 

I'm trying to install Alpine on a 2008 model iMac 8,1. However, the boot selection screen crashes if the Alpine USB is plugged in, which means I can't boot the installer.

It's not a fundamental Linux issue, as I was able to boot and install MX Linux.

I've also had the same problem on a 2010 MacBook. However, I can boot the USB on a 2014 MacBook Pro 11,2.

How can I troubleshoot this boot issue? Is there a trick to make a custom install USB which will boot on an old Mac?
