Hey, thanks for those of you who responded courteously and constructive to the crazy Catholic 😊. I appreciate it. To anyone who might stumble upon this thread who is interested in learning more about the nature of Hell and Sin, here is a good article I found adressing the question. The same website also has a couple other articles on Hell. https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/what-is-hell God Bless! I guess the atheist version of that would be nice talk’in 😄

Just gonna say, as a Catholic, He never sends anyone to Hell, they send themeselves to Hell. Furthermore, the whole “Hell is the worst pain you can imagine” immediately makes one think Of a torture chamber. That isn’t neccessarily what Hell is. Hell is simply a separation from God. It is being alone and miserable that is thgreatest pain.

The whole idea of God sending people to infinite torture because man is a depraved, wicked thing is a very harmful calvinistic idea.

Not trying to be a troll. I just want to set the records straight.

No offense, but halfway through skimming this I started seriously wondering if it was satire. It was about as negative as you can get. How about we set down this republican vs. democrat stuff and start just going pro-america. If anything is going to destroy america, it is going to be this continuous “us vs. evil them” dialogue.

Dang it. Long live Crypto!

I’m running a yunohost server with a Nextcloud instance on top. I’ve got nextcloud syncing my files, of course. I use WebDav/WebCal for syncing all of my contacts and calendars across my linux and android devices.

I think around 200,000 seems pretty accurate going off of lemmyverse.net. I sorted the instances by number of users and it seems like it would add up good. The first five servers were 36k, 19k, 11k, 8k, 4k users. After that it was just a bunch of instances with less than 2k users. But that doesn’t mean we can’t get it up to 6 million :) Let’s keep on welcoming the redditers.

Wow, we only have 128,000 while mastadon has 2 million? We got a lot of ground to catch up :)

I’m self-hosting some stuff on a yunohost server but i plan to switch to start9 once they add support for clearnet.

• Nextcloud
• Jellyfin
• Calibreweb
• Email (though I don’t really use it)

I would be hosting more but our internet is too slow for anything else to really be effective.

Hey, our “leaders” are certainly under performing but America is still one of the the few remaining free nations out there.

Aha, never mind, I found the answer to my question above. Thanks for clarifying your point. Not sure if i agree 100%, but a viable point nevertheless.

Hey, I’m not sure why we are over analyzing Helix’s message. I’d be interested in the connections you made between covid and digital privacy. It kinda sounds like your saying lack of digital privacy led to the pandemic. I don’t think your saying that. Would you by any chance be referencing the tracking violations by the cdc? Or maybe that China’s zero covid policy and tracking? Maybe I’ve got you wrong but those are the only connections that I have made.

P.S. Sorry if you have already answered a similar question. I didn’t see it in the text thread.

By physical do we mean logical quibits? It’s been a while since I’ve been in the quantum world.

Lucky.

I definitely agree. From what I understand about email security it’s more of a safety net of security right below the tight-rope. What needs to be done is we just need to build a bridge instead of making everyone use the tight-rope.

Dang, that looks like a really cool combo! Only draw back, no imessage, which is unfortunately what most people use. But still looks pretty dang cool.

I have looked at it. It looks really cool! However, it does not have the user base of signal and does not have an easy unboarding for beginners. If I’m going to switch a person to an encrypted instant messenger I would do Signal. It is by far the simplest and the most widely used. The more widely it is used the easier it is to sell it to people. For the most secure I go with Session. But I do agree that SimpleX is on to something.

So I’m not from California but aren’t they already struggling to supply the existing grid with power because of the heat waves? I think they may want to invest that money into making better power sources rather than ways to deplete the grid even more. Just my two cents.

I don’t know, I’ve been on their Discord channel from the early stages and they seem pretty legit. Mind you I could be wrong, we all get taken into scams every now and then. I just got into their alpha testing so I will provide some feedback on how well it works. Honestly, it’s fixing a problem that shouldn’t be there. All of these walled garden messengers can’t stand the test of time. We have to switch to something more federated like xmpp or something else. Even signal, while awesome, can’t communicate with anything else. We need some good, secure, FOSS, instant messaging protocols.

That’s so bad, but still funny.

Everyone! I have a steal of a deal! I know how to get you free air. I know, I know, it sounds to good to be true, but trust me it is. Just reply to this message and I will let you in on the secret.
