Ok…so there are rules that God must obey…so he’s not all powerful, otherwise he would just change the rules

If God is all powerful then why not just absolve us from the sin?

If this sacrifice was required, then he is not all powerful or he is into torture pron.

If God is all powerful, couldn’t he just do that without all the bloody, painful, torture part???

That’s what I wondered about.

It does. Or can just send the recorded message to your email as a .wav attachment.

I use this.

I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.

I have a grand stream sip adapter… Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.

Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip

I did it for ya…good luck with your phd

It’s all about privacy.

I am amazed at services offered that run rampant in the home.

My ISP offers fiber. But only if you also sign up for managed wifi where they manage your internal net…no way

I got a quote for solar power…but they must use a 3rd party cloud to manage your power and it uses eth over electrical … If you use eth over electrical already, then it does whatever it wants in your home network …no way.

Cell phones? They all go into a guest wifi…not on my home network.

Never be afraid to ask a question to rectify a lack of knowledge.

I want to add 1 thing…graphics drivers have come a long way. Nvidia is a good example where some diatros come pre loaded to support Nvidia…like popOS. Check your vid card for distro compatibility

Universal media server works for me. I run it headless on a small instance. Streams my movies and music just fine.

It’s a horde survival shooter with upgrades

Somehow autocorrect made it funnier too

So property tax I am ok with, in theory. The people with property in a city should pay for services like fire, schools, police, road maintenance… What gets me is when the city wants more and more for stupid shit like iPads for all students… Every 3 years due to forced upgrades or just old style deprecation over 3 years.

The amount my taxes go up each year is more than any raise I get. Then add on insurance which has gone insane. I paid off my house to avoid a 20k female flood insurance bill because a 1 foot piece of concrete touched a high risk flood zone. A technicality because if I took down a screen patio, then I wouldn’t have to pay.

It’s insane how expensive owning a house has become

Sure. My ISP gave me this range for this exact reason.

I use port knock. Really helps against scans if you are the edge device.

If it’s public facing, how about dont turn on ssh to the public, open it to select ips or ranges. Use a non standard port, use a cert or even a radius with TOTP like privacyIdea. How about a port knocker to open the non standard port as well. Autoban to lock out source ips.

That’s just off the top of my head.

There’s a lot you can do to harden a host.

There’s a 40 year I.T. veteran here that still suffers imposter syndrome. It’s a real thing I’ve never been able to shake off

Whoops, shouldn’t have that bar assocation logo here either.
