I mean you said...

Christians are pretty explicitly taught to never have judgement about whether or not another Christian's faith is genuine. That's a big no no

...not me 🙂

Consider the subject full of contradictions or more nuanced than simply "don't judge anyone" like you suggested. What you first said was very inaccurate and a common misconception regardless.

    I mean you're the one calling out someone else and saying the Bible is very explicit about not judging, not me. I shared it says the exact opposite when it comes to dealing with others who claim to be believers, which is true. Now you're saying it's full of contradictions... that's fine too, but that's certainly not what you first said about this particular subject.

    You seem mad that I pointed out what you first said was a common misconception often said by those that haven't actually read the book. Still true.

    Prole said a couple comments above:

    Very unchristian of you to judge another person like that. You holy book is very explicit about what you just did.

    That statement couldn't be farther from the truth and I provided citations. A Christian is in fact supposed to judge another believers behavior and call it out when it's bad, and to separate from them when they are unrepentant. They are supposed to be kind in doing so but nonetheless supposed to call them out.

    There's even more instruction and warnings to watch out for those that use Christ's name to further their own evil while pretending to be righteous. Jesus was quite direct and harsh in his confrontation with such people.

    This couldn't be more incorrect but what a lot of Christians that don't actually read the Bible think.

    The Bible says believers are specifically supposed to call out others that claim to be Christians if their actions suggest otherwise. Believers are NOT to be judgmental of unbelievers, but very much call out those in the church.

    Matthew 18:15-17 (ESV) If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

    1 Corinthians 5:11-12 (ESV) But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

    Titus 1:13 (ESV) This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

    Titus 2:15 (ESV) Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

    2 Timothy 4:2 (ESV) Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

    There are many more.

    Note, in the Bible Jesus only lacked sympathy and showed anger for two kinds of sinners: self-righteous hypocrites and those who used the church to enrich themselves.

    Besides being great watches, the Garmins last so much longer on a single charge. Of course it's going to vary based on how many activities enable GPS tracking and how often you use it for music, but my Garmin lasts about 5-6 days with a single charge and using tracking multiple times a week. My wife's Apple watch barely exceeds a day.

    Can a server's eth & wifi share the same IP address? (lemmy.world)
     

    I'm running Linux Mint on a home server that happens to run pihole. Since it's both a dhcp and dns server for my network, it has a static ip address. It has an ethernet connection as well as wifi and it's always been my understanding that you can't have two network interfaces sharing the same IP address, so I've been looking into ways to have one network adapter enabled and the other disabled and then if the network connection of the active device is lost, the other re-enables with the same IP address and disables the other device. This mostly work.

    However while debugging one bit of software that seems to have a problem with me disabling my wifi adapter, I inadvertently enabled both the eth and wifi connections while each have the same, manually assigned ip address and everything so far just seems to work. I didn't think this was possible and I'm wondering, should I expect problems? I can connect to the machine remotely fine, pihole and dvr services installed on the box work. Is there any reason to believe this won't work?

    Strange behavior when mounting volume on Linux vs Windows (lemmy.world)
     

    I'm dual-booting my machine right now with CachyOS linux and Windows 10. A have a few VeraCrypt volumes originally created on Windows on an NTFS formatted disk that I'm trying to use and I'm having issues with one in linux.

    One volume when it's mounted in VeraCrypt isn't writable (4.9TB volume) and the other is (3.0TB). Both volumes reside on the same physical disk and in the same directory. The disk they resides on is writable and my user has read, write and execute enabled on both volume files and the mount directory. If I try to copy a file to the 4.9TB volume however I get a message that it's a read-only file system. Checking the volume properties in Dolphin it shows it's writable though.

    Output from mount does suggest it's mounted read-only though. Here you can see the difference between the two volumes, 1 and 2:

    veracrypt on /tmp/.veracrypt_aux_mnt1 type fuse.veracrypt (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other)

    /dev/mapper/veracrypt1 on /run/media/veracrypt1 type ntfs (ro,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0077,iocharset=utf8)

    veracrypt on /tmp/.veracrypt_aux_mnt2 type fuse.veracrypt (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other)

    /dev/mapper/veracrypt2 on /run/media/veracrypt2 type exfat (rw,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,iocharset=utf8,errors=remount-ro)

    So why exactly is VeraCrypt mounting it "ro" vs "rw" and is there anyway I can change that? Not sure if it matters but I'm using VeraCrypt version 1.26.24 on Linux, whereas on Windows I'm using 1.25.9.

    Reoccurring brief DNS outages - where's the problem? (lemmy.world)
     

    Lately my home internet service has been experiencing brief periods of failure and I'm trying to understand what the root problem is and if there's anything I can do to fix it.

    I have two piholes running on my home network providing DNS service and blocking. Lately I've been encountering brief internet outages, approximately once a day for the last week. Work laptop disconnects from VPN saying no internet and other devices show no internet either. Cable modem doesn't show it's lost connection though, and logging into my router it shows it has internet connectivity. Trying to ping a website shows the dns resolution isn't working. I can ping by IP address but not name. The outage usually resolves itself in approx 5 minutes, sometimes a little longer.

    My piholes are setup to use Google, Cloudflare and Open DNS for dns service so I'm puzzled how my dns resolution suddenly starts failing. In theory if one's down, it'll use the others right? So how am I experiencing a dns outage? Is this a problem with something outside my network or something internal, or is there anything else I should do to diagnose and fix it?

    Best way to dual boot laptop - Linux and Windows (lemmy.world)
     

    I'm looking to install Linux on our home laptop and see if I can convince my wife to migrate off Windows. Since I'm not sure there won't be times we need or want to boot back into Windows, I want to set it up so we can dual boot. The laptop only has a spot for one drive however so I can't use two drives and chose them with the bios. I know in the past Windows has been problematic with dual boot setups on a single drive, corrupting the boot drive following updates and what-not. I'd really like to avoid that if possible.

    Any suggestions on how best to go about it, or something I should at least avoid because it's known to be problematic?
