the Logos web app is DISGUSTINGY bright/white - enough to actually ruin your morning…

Thankfully there’s an extension called stylus and some kind folks in the Logos community created a nice dark theme here. You simply install the extension, then go to the userstyles link <– and click install. It only changes themes for the sites configured - in this case app.logos.com

The Two Houses

The Two Houses Context # Reflection # From the visual commentary Tim calls out a few things: is supposed to first call us back to earlier in the sermon when Jesus calls his people “the light of the world” and says “a city on a hill [mountain] cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). The hill [ὄρος | oros] means “mountain” and is a hyperlink to OT teaching of God’s people living in the ideal Jerusalem on Mt. Zion. Lots of Hebrew imagery here. The rain and floods are a callback to the Chaos Waters of the OT (and general ANE thinking). It’s a reference to the destructive nature that we humans have unleashed on the world - but the wise man who listens to Jesus lives a life with some amount of protection from those hardships - and ultimate protection from God handing us over to Chaos (destruction).

I rebooted by server and DNS broke randomly. I have no idea if it was from a kernel update or what but that’s the issue with Ubuntu I guess…

After much toil and none of the other options working for me (sorry to not have those documented here) this is what got me the vic from this SO Post

sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ sudo $EDITOR /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/dns_servers.conf

Most folks probably are good with google (8.8.8.8) and cloudflare (1.1.1.1)

[Resolve]
DNS=8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1

But I decided to use tailscale

[Resolve]
DNS=100.100.100.100

Then restart systemd-resolved

sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

Plasma shits the bed a little too often on Fedora for me right now but I finally have a quick fix…


sudo killall plasmashell

kstart plasmashell

enabling DHCP WAN port (dhclient <iface>)- running the bootstrap script - sh /usr/local/sbin/opnsense-bootstrap

BP - The Golden Rule

Matthew 7:12 What do I desire that people “do to [me]”? # Help if I need it - I want to live in a world where humans are helpful Listen to me and understand what I say Leave me alone sometimes What is the Torah and Prophets? # I know there’s a lot more to where the texts come from and the varying traditions in Judaism. But I think at a very high level, Jesus is saying that we all know, deep down, how to live in harmony but that it requires sacrifice. He calls us to live sacrificially towards each other, to live in Heaven today, so we can experience the coming reality if our own resurrection

Recovering OPNSense

I woke up to faulty internet and after some troubleshooting it turns out the root zfs dataset that OPNSense boots from got corrupted… PRO-TIP - Auto backup your OPNSense config to Google Drive, git, or nextcloud… But if you won’t then at least back up your OPNSense config somewhere everytime you update it. It’s too much to recount every issue, so here’s a bullet list what worked. On a fresh drive install OPNSense Plug in the old drive through a USB enclosure - now I’m not sure what would happen if you plugged it in along with the new drive and then booted up. Because both drives will have a zfs pool and the boot dataset is automounted at. My old pool was so it didn’t automount Because the old was corrupted I did this to mount it RO: -d is the zfs flag to import the pool by disk id, -N it to not mount any of the datasets (we need to change mountpoints) and the imports the pool with a new name Change the mountpoints for all the datasets to somewhere like Depending on the mount point you…

Reflection - Wisdom in Relationships 2

Passage # Reflection # James builds on this with. James is arming us with some specifics from the Sermon on the Mount. We aren’t just to ask for anything that we think is good… wisdom is the good we are to ask for. Tim: Prayer is important because wisdom will flow out of a deep interpersonal relationship with God. Where has God given me wisdom? # Marriage/relationships as Kassia and I have navigated many things (job changes, moving for family, family falling through, unhealthy parent relationships, church hunts, and our own self-development and discovery) He’s given me a lot of professional wisdom - potentially through AuDHD and the exposure he’s brought me through. Through Mark Forstrom, Andrew, Nick Z, etc. I was filled with wisdom on how to be a man in the life of a boy - how to talk with someone immature, let them be and feel heard, but also on how to challenge them to grow (up).
